Tunisian President Kais Saied will change the Supreme Judicial Council but not abolish it, the justice minister said on Wednesday, days after the president stated his plan to dissolve the body met intense criticism, including from Western donors whose help is needed to avert a crisis in public finances.
The president, however, said later in the day that he rejected "foreign interference" following the widespread criticism after he announced plans on Sunday to dissolve the body that guarantees judicial independence.
