Fight against impunity:

The Head of State also stressed the imperative to fight against impunity and called on the Minister of Justice to initiate legal proceedings, in complete respect of the law, against those who seek refuge. abroad or are manipulated by lobbies hostile to the interests of the Tunisian people. These groups sometimes attempt to position themselves as victims while inflicting harm on the nation.

Freedom versus chaos:

Finally, Kais Saied underlined that freedom, in all nations of the world, does not mean chaos or escape from justice. He insisted on the importance of a robust and impartial judicial system to ensure public order and respect for the rights of all citizens.
