Constitutional Democratic Rally
"La Presse de Tunisie" was founded in 1934 by Henri Smadja, a Tunisian and French Jewish doctor and lawyer, born in Tunisia, who went on to become the owner of the daily newspaper "Combat". The paper, based in Tunis, was close to the Constitutional Democratic Rally. Its sister paper is Arabic newspaper "Assahafah". Before the 2010-2011 Tunisian protests "La Presse de Tunisie" was published by a state-owned publishing company.
