National Television Sit-In

For over 50 days , a sit-in has been standing in front of the locals of the national television. sit-inners were sympathizers with the movement Ennahdha and reminded us of the " professional protestors " seen in any democratic or progressist manifestation raising slogans against the manifestion and insulting manifesters . the reason for the sit-in was to denounce the " media of shame", "purple media" and its "malicious intent" concerning the "great achivements" of the government .

Nothing seemed possible to convince the sit-inners who seemed tenacious and determined to "cure" the national television , until  the political adviser to the Prime Minister Mr Lotfi Zitoun succeded to convince them to decamp after only 2 hours of negociations on wednesday 25 april 2012 , political adviser who was there the day before trying to convince the employees of the national television in general, and its jouranlists in particular of the legitimity of the sit-in . He also critisized them when they complaint to him about the haracelement they have been living during the sit-in , and accused them of not being open to critics saying " it's ok for you to say the government of shame , to criticize Mr Ali Larayedh minister of interior , but it's not ok for them to criticize you" .

Of course he was asked to leave the place , but the intention of controlling the national television was obvious and the message sent by the sit-in was very clear : the national television should think twice before broadcasting anything that dosn't praise the current government .. just like old times .
