Neo Destour

Called The Neo - Destour party, often short Neo - Destur (French Neo- Destour ), was a political party in Tunisia.

The party was founded on March 2, 1934 by Habib Bourguiba in protest against members of the Destur party. It was the separation and establishing the Neo - Destour party from the modernist and secular -oriented wing of the Destur. The goal of the new party was first to reach the independence of Tunisia from the French protectorate.

The party was Arab - nationalist oriented. After gaining independence from France in 1956, the party finally came to power in Tunisia. The Neo - Destur was for years alone ruling party within the one-party of Tunisia.

In October 1964, the party was dissolved and established the Destur Party as Socialist Party Destur new.
