The Congress for the Republic (Arabic: المؤتمر من أجل الجمهورية, romanized: Al-Mu’tamar min ajl al-Jumhūriyya; French: Congrès pour la République), also referred to as El Mottamar or by its French acronym CPR, is a centre-left secular political party in Tunisia. It was created in 2001,[10] but legalised only after the 2011 Tunisian revolution. Its most prominent founder and long-term leader was Moncef Marzouki. He had been the party's honorary president since he became interim President of Tunisia in December 2011.
