The President of the Kaïs Saïed Republic, during his meeting on Wednesday, August 6, 2025 Wednesday, 2025 with the head of the government, Sarah Zaâfrani Zenzri, drawn up a binary vision of the future of Tunisia: that of a people called to choose between individualist selfishness and founding solidarity.
“Two ways, not one more”hammered the head of state. “Either the Tunisians continue their lives as they have always known, withdrawn from themselves, concerned only by their interests and their personal pleasures-a dead end, sterile, which the people have never chosen. Either they take up a new life, similar to that which they knew on January 14, 2011, made of cooperation, solidarity, abolition of barriers between rich and poor, between carriers and sick. A life based on mutual aid in the face of the test, until the test disappears. »»
True to his narration based on revolutionary symbols, Kaïs Saïed mentioned the image that has become famous of a vegetable sellerwho had written on his van on January 14, 2011: “The one who has nothing, that he takes for free. »» For the president, this spirit is reborn today: citizens have recently entered their telephone numbers on their vehicles to offer free journeys to people in need.
In an offensive rhetoric, Saïed then praised the popular awakening: “Tunisian and Tunisians give lesson after lesson, slaps after slap, traitors, agents and their internal relays. They have the legitimate right to demand justice for the suffering endured. And we must work tirelessly, day and night, so that every citizen and each citizen live in dignity. »»
Finally, the president has launched a warning to the opponents and for the forces which he describes as manipulated by the foreigner: “The Tunisian people will recover all their rights, without exception. As for those who persist in following the opposite path, whether they know that they sink into a dead end. They will never achieve the objectives traced by certain interior parts, linked to foreign entities which wish to our country that guardianship and domination. »»
