He stressed the need to remove all obstacles so that the economy can thrive and the path can be widely opened for those who have long suffered from injustice and deprivation, with new texts breaking from the past.

These are people who have endured injustice, deprivation and oppression, and who were wronged and marginalised. They are entitled to live a dignified life, and they are all ready to contribute, with unlimited effort, to the desired construction.

The President of the Republic concluded by once again stressing that Tunisia today is in need of all its free and honorable citizens, and of innovative approaches and policies that draw their legitimacy from the expectations of the people and from fair accountability, so that all the looted funds are recovered.

He emphasised that rights will never be lost through prescription, and that falsehood will remain false even if cloaked in a shaky and rejected appearance of legality.
