Tunisian President Kais Saied summoned the European Union’s ambassador to convey “a firmly toned protest” over a perceived breach of diplomatic protocol, Tunisia's presidency said Wednesday.
The summons came after EU Ambassador Giuseppe Perrone met with the heads of Tunisia's influential UGTT labor union and main employers’ union UTICA. The two unions won the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize along with two other Tunisian organizations for laying the groundwork for the North African country's new democracy.
