National Liberation and Resilience
President Saïed reaffirmed that Tunisia is currently experiencing a "war of liberation" on all fronts and that the Tunisian people will thwart, through their awareness and determination, all conspiracies. He added that the Tunisian state is not governed by social media publications or by those who have chosen treason, allegiance to foreigners, and the spread of rumors and lies.
