President Kais Saied met with Prime Minister Ahmed Hachani at Carthage Palace on Wednesday afternoon.
The meeting reviewed the progress of the government’s work in general and a number of draft laws and decrees that were discussed at the last Cabinet meeting, said a statement issued by the Presidency of the Republic.
One of the of the most important bills highlighted by the President of the Republic is the one on the eradication of social and financial exclusion, indicating that he had chosen this name this bill instead of integration, because “the desired integration can only be achieved by eliminating the causes of exclusion”.
In this context, he said, “many of the concepts that have been developed abroad have expired and have only led to further exclusion and marginalisation,” and ‘unfortunately, there are those in Tunisia who are still using these concepts without looking at their source and without bothering to look at their results.’
The President was also quoted as saying ‘exclusion is the result
of a series of wrong choices and external dictates.” He added that integration on the basis of justice and fairness and the social role of the state, cannot be achieved unless “we rely on own capacities and national choices, which come from the will of the people.”
