May 20, 2016: Rached Ghannouchi and Abdelfathha Mourou at the opening of the 10th Ennahda Movement Congress in the large sports arena in Radès, along with several thousand Ennahda Party activists and delegates. But the highlight of the event was the presence and speech by Beji Caïd Essebsi, President of the Republic, who was elected more than a year ago on the back of an anti-Ennahdha campaign, yet with whom he has since had to share power: “I want to be frank with you—I hesitated to come,” he said. But “I came out of respect for this party’s efforts to support the consensus on national reconciliation.”The opening ceremony took place in the presence of the Speaker of the Assembly of the Representatives of the People, Mohamed Ennaceur; members of the governing coalition; parties represented and not represented in parliament; members of parliament; and national figures—a spectacle where it was good to be seen. This convention is intended to mark a turning point in the movement’s history by formalizing the separation of political and religious activities. Over the weekend, the party—for which a name change is being discussed—is set to evaluate its performance and take stock of its two years in power as part of a “troika.” It is also set to adopt political, economic, and social “roadmaps” for the coming years.

Mais l'événement fut bien la présence et le discours de Beji Caïd Essebsi, Président de la République élu il y a plus d'un an grâce à une campagne anti Ennahdha, mais avec qui il doit depuis cohabiter au pouvoir : "Je veux être franc avec vous, j'ai hésité à venir", a-t-il dit. Mais "je suis venu par considération pour les efforts de ce parti pour appuyer le consensus de réconciliation nationale"La cérémonie inaugurale s’est déroulée en présence du président de l’Assemblée des représentants du peuple, Mohamed Ennaceur, des membres de la coalition gouvernementale, de partis représentés et non représentés au parlement, de députés et de personnalités nationales, un show où il était bon d'être vu. Ce congrès doit marquer un tournant dans l'histoire du mouvement en actant la séparation entre activités politiques et religieuses. Au cours du week-end, le parti - pour lequel un changement de nom est évoqué - doit évaluer son action et tirer le bilan de ses deux ans au pouvoir au sein d'une "troïka".Il doit aussi adopter des "feuilles de route" politique, économique et sociale pour les années à venir.
