Fayçal Tebbini
Fayçal Tebbini (also spelled Faycel Tebini) is a Tunisian politician and founder of the Farmers' Voice Party. He was elected to Tunisia’s parliament in 2014 representing Jendouba and re-elected in 2019. He served on two parliamentary committees from 2015 to 2016: Agriculture, Food Security, Trade and Related Services; and Administrative Reform, Good Governance, Fight against Corruption and Management of Public Funds. He is known for outspoken remarks, including insults toward Ennahdha leaders and a comparison of Prime Minister Youssef Chahed to Adolf Hitler. On 29 May 2019 he announced his bid for the presidency and warned he would have Chahed shot if elected, but he did not win. On 13 April 2020 he left the Bloc démocrate parliamentary group. In 2021 he was arrested for allegedly insulting a social media activist; since he was no longer a member of parliament, he no longer had immunity. In 2022 he was sentenced to ten months in prison.
