TUNIS (Reuters) - Some prominent Tunisian politicians on Friday came out against the president suspending or changing the constitution, as one of his advisers has said he is planning after seizing ruling powers in July.

President Kais Saied intends to suspend the constitution and will put a new version to a referendum, his adviser Walid Hajjem told Reuters on Thursday in the first clear indication of his plans since his intervention more than six weeks ago.
