Tunisia's President Demands Action on Citizen Demands and Destabilization Efforts

Tunisian President Kais Saied is urging swift action and a race against time to meet the demands of the people, emphasizing that "the hour is for action and realization." During a meeting with key ministers on August 12, Saied stressed the need to satisfy citizens' demands across the country. This directive follows his recent visit to Gabès, where he issued firm warnings to officials regarding the city's deteriorating situation and demanded effective measures against polluters.

The president highlighted the importance of dismantling corruption networks and thwarting attempts to sow discord and discontent. He pointed to deliberate acts like arson and utility disruptions as evidence of premeditated efforts to destabilize the nation. Saied, however, commended the high level of awareness and vigilance among Tunisians, which he believes has helped foil these malicious actions aimed at exacerbating tensions.

Saied asserted that these acts are not mere coincidences but calculated moves requiring thorough investigation to determine their origins and implement lasting solutions. He described Tunisia as being in a crucial phase that demands concrete strategies to address the concerns and expectations of the populace across all sectors and regions. The meeting also focused on the situation in Gabès, reiterating the urgent need for a strategy to dismantle polluting units, a demand that some parties are reportedly exploiting to create instability.
