Tunisian President Protests EU Diplomacy Amid Tensions

Tunisia's president, Kais Saied, was not happy. He asked the EU ambassador to come to his office for a talk. Saied wanted to show his strong disagreement with something the ambassador did.

The EU ambassador, Giuseppe Perrone, met with some union leaders. These unions are very important in Tunisia. They even won a big prize called the Nobel Peace Prize a few years ago.

Saied told the ambassador that he must respect Tunisia. He also said to follow the right ways to talk to people. The president's office did not say exactly why they were upset with the ambassador.

Someone from the EU said they heard what Saied said. They said it is normal for ambassadors to talk to many people. This includes people from groups that help make the country better and help talk to each other.

Tunisia has had many protests recently about fairness. President Saied is also making rules stricter. He says he is fighting bad things and things that could hurt the country's safety.
