Tunisia's Rebel movement, or Tamarrod, is hoping to gather two million signatures demanding the dissolution of the Constitutional Assembly by August, a spokesman said at a press conference Friday.

Mohamed Bennour, the spokesman, also slammed all those who tried to discredit the movement, including a number of political parties.

Also, a Tamarrod member said "the Constitutional Assembly can no longer claim any political legitimacy... We have moved from a dictatorship to a fascist system" that has lost sight of the main issues facing the country, including unemployment, poverty and exclusion.

"Soon, the power of the people will be heard," he said, adding that consultations were underway with legal experts to decide on a date for mass protests to be staged throughout the country.

Tunisia's Tamarrod movement began a few weeks after the launch of its Egyptian counterpart, which called for the June-30 mass protests that led to the ouster of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi.

The Tunisian Rebel movement aims to dissolve the 217-member Constitutional Assembly, which it sees as being controlled by the ruling Islamic party Ennahdha.

In a related event, some opposition members of the assembly have threatened to resign in reaction to what they consider as Ennahdha's attempt to drag on the writing of a new constitution.

Tunisian authorities have announced no official date for the constitution's endorsement, although Prime Minister Ali Laarayedh has said it should be ready by the end of 2013.
