The new financial year has also brought with it price hikes on some goods and increased taxes on imports.

More than 300 protesters have been arrested and the army deployed in several Tunisian cities after violent demonstrations swept the country for a third night despite the threat of a security crackdown. He blamed looters for the disorder. "I don't think this is the right time for price hikes".

Properties were damaged, he said, including a branch of the Carrefour supermarket chain in a suburb of Tunis that was looted.

"It is impossible for people to live with dignity today". Tunisia has deployed thousands of troops throughout the country amid the ongoing unrest. They're not even interested in the looters and the anarchists.

Sporadic protests continued across parts of Tunisia, overnight, as government security forces tried to put a stop to scattered violence that has hit a number of regions.

He cited as a precedent bread riots that took place in the country in 1983. "It is suffocating in misery, in poverty, in unemployment".

Med Dhia Hammami, a political analyst, told Al Jazeera on Wednesday that he expects more protests leading to the Sunday anniversary of the Arab Spring uprisings, also known in Tunisia as the Jasmine Revolution.
