The President of the Republic, Kaïs Saïed, met on Thursday, December 4, 2025, at the Carthage Palace, with Ms. Sarra Zaafrani Zenzri, Head of Government, Mr. Samir Abdelhafidh, Minister of Economy and Planning, and Mr. Fethi Zouhir Nouri, Governor of the Central Bank of Tunisia.
Key Discussion Points
During the meeting, the Head of State addressed several topics, including:
- The financial balances of the State
- The development plan project
- The role of the Central Bank in supporting the national economy
President Saïed's Statement
The President of the Republic emphasized that the reference point and the path forward remain the revolution and the well-being of every Tunisian citizen in all regions of the country. This is despite a heavy legacy resulting from non-national choices that led to the massive destruction of public services. He added that those who considered power as a spoil to be shared, after sharing roles, have burdened the country with debts that the national community is paying a heavy tribute for today without having derived any benefit.
Warning to Those Who Seek to Undermine the Country
President Saïed also estimated that some individuals continue to imagine that they could go back and place their agents everywhere, while they are all unmasked, known, and that no one is above accountability in accordance with the law. "Shame on this illusion, and shame on those who cling to it," he declared.
Tunisia's Riches and Youth
The Head of State reaffirmed his deep conviction that Tunisia has all the necessary riches, and that its human wealth, particularly its youth, is capable of taking over. He affirmed that this youth will soon take the torch and replace the tools of destruction with all the instruments of construction and edification.
Conclusion
The President of the Republic concluded by reiterating that the accusation made against Tunisia by those who regret the tutelage and colonization, both inside and outside, is that the Tunisian people have chosen to be free. "Yes, this accusation honors us, it is for us a title of nobility," he said, recalling on this occasion the famous phrase of the martyr and historical leader Farhat Hached: "They tried to silence us, but they cannot silence the truth." He affirmed that Tunisia will always work with determination to guarantee a life of dignity and honor, and that it remains faithful to the oath of pursuing its combat with pride.
