Qalb Tounes party requested for additional preventative measures it deems as needed to adequately combat the spread of coronavirus.
The party advocates in this regard, the complete house confinement throughout the territory and in the briefest possible time and optimal preparation to deal with the circumstance.
In a published statement, Qalb Tounes recommended to set up screening units in various locations, actively including civil society in this fight and supporting vulnerable categories.
The party also stresses the imperative, to tell the truth to Tunisians about the state of strategic reserves of basic necessities.
Besides, Qalb Tounes calls for the importance to support enterprises and employees affected by the preventive measures of coronavirus, through the generalisation of technical unemployment and the postponement of the repayment of credits, to suspend the law on cheques, judgements in absentia and the option for alternative sentences, insisting on the need to intensify preventive measures in prisons.
The party suggests the revision of the State budget, taking into account the cost of the measures envisaged to combat the spread of the virus.
It proposes a fiscal, social and financial amnesty after repayment of part of the arrears for resource mobilisation and to negotiate with the International Monetary Fund on debt rescheduling.
In its statement, Qalb Tounes expresses support to the efforts of the President of the Republic, the Speaker of Parliament and the Prime Minister in their fight against this pandemic, affirming attachment to national constants and uniqueness of the decision, far from political tug-of-war.
