We cannot blame President Kaรฏs Saรฏed for not following through on his ideas. However, we can criticize a certain slowness in their implementation. This is particularly the case of the fight against monopolies and speculation which he has not stopped talking about for a year and a half without visible results, since shortages continue, prices continue to soar and speculators have never speculated so much. that they do today.
Law No. 15-21 of December 28, 2021, relating to the fight against speculation is quite dissuasive since it provides for penalties of up to ten years in prison, but a year and a half after its promulgation, we can not say that it dissuaded many people. Where is the hiatus located?
The Head of State returned to this question for the umpteenth time during his meeting, on Monday, September 5, 2023, at the Palace of Carthage, with the Minister of the Interior Kamel Feki, the Director General of Internal Security Mourad Saidane, and Director General and Commander of the National Guard Hassine Gharbi.
According to a press release from the Presidency of the Republic, the meeting highlighted the need for all state bodies to continue working together to fight monopolies and illegal speculation. It is about โfighting those who, by creating crises, are leading a disguised electoral campaign behind which are hidden well-known lobbies who believe they are above the law and cannot be held responsible,โ adds the press release without giving details. more details, thus leaving the door open to interpretations and speculation, because the link that the president establishes between monopolies and speculation, on the one hand, and the said โ disguised electoral campaignโ, on the other, is not obvious to everyone and deserves more than explanations.
On the other hand, the President of the Republic stressed the need to prepare well for the start of the school and university year, in particular by ensuring the safety of students around schools and universities through constant police patrols.
The meeting also discussed the need to stop the spread of drugs and, in particular, to dismantle smuggling and trafficking networks.
