Tunisia’s New Era Continues to Face Many Challenges, Yet Determined to Win the Bet
La Presse –
Indeed, after the effective launch of the liberation struggle—requiring the combined effort of all the nation’s vital forces—Tunisia needs several “revolutions” to complete the December 17 , 2010 revolution.
As the Head of State has repeatedly emphasized, Tunisia requires a legislative revolution accompanied by administrative and cultural revolutions in order to achieve its true objectives and meet the aspirations of a people who demand social justice and a dignified life.
In this spirit, President Kais Saïed continuously meets with members of his government to outline and confirm the contours and methodologies needed for sound public‑service management, while once and for all blocking the path of occult forces and lobbying groups that dream of a backward step.
It is worth recalling that, to implement the various approaches contained in his presidential project—centered on clear pillars for establishing a social state—the President maintains a genuine mobilisation of his cabinet. The aim is to realise priority goals through maximum consensus and synchronisation within the executive.
Accordingly, emphasis is placed on a firm commitment to the reforms demanded by the people, notably the obligation for the administration to be in symbiosis with popular aspirations, rejecting the nostalgic calls for regression or stagnation that would amount to “refusing to follow the inexorable advance of national history.”
This phase of the “new Tunisia” necessarily demands a revision of the behaviour of many institutions that are inefficient or outright obsolete, while restoring the State’s social role as stipulated in the presidential programme. The goal is to correct the injustices generated by outdated policies and entrenched corruption.
It goes without saying that our country, more than ever, needs—besides the aforementioned “revolutions”—sincere and dedicated individuals to implement them, guaranteeing sound management of public services, many of which currently suffer from mismanagement or outright failure.
Nevertheless, the Tunisian Constitution states that public administration and all State services are at the service of the citizen, based on neutrality and equality, with the clear purpose of ensuring justice and fairness for all citizens across every region, without discrimination.
In summary, President Kais Saïed confirms that he remains faithful to his promises and his original project, fully mobilising in favour of the people’s prosperity and the country’s comprehensive, sustainable development.
