The National Salvation Front was an electoral alliance in Tunisia, made up of multiple political parties. The alliance includes the Union for Tunisia and Popular Front coalitions. The Republican Party left the Union for Tunisia alliance on 30 December 2013, though it remains part of the National Salvation Front. After the compromise with Ennahda which resulted in a technocratic government instead of an anti-ennahda government, the front appears to have splintered between right-wing secularists and left wing secularists.
