The President of the Tunisian Republic, Kais Saied, received at Carthage Palace the President of the Tunisian Union of Industry, Commerce and Handicrafts, Samir Majoul. This meeting represented an opportunity in which the President of the Republic was reminded of the national role of this pristine organization, calling on its members to unite the efforts of the state at this stage in Tunisia’s history.

The President of the Republic stressed that the fight against corruption does not target businessmen who work in full respect of the law, refuting what some people say in this regard. The President of the Republic explained that the largest number of businessmen were victims of corruption and tyranny, pointing out that businessmen are not only owners of large institutions, but they are also owners of small and medium enterprises, and quite a few of them are still groaning under legislation that was designed to suit a small number of people, and they are suffering from lobbies that wanted to seize for themselves all of the country’s wealth, taking refuge in these legislations and those who enacted them.

The President of the Republic stressed the need for financial institutions, in general, to play a role in promoting a national economy based primarily on self-reliance and the creation of real wealth that benefits everyone based on social justice. The wealth that is calculated based on rents and then growth rates are calculated based on fallacy and deception is not wealth on which a national economy can be based.

The President of the Republic stressed the need for the Tunisian Union of Industry, Commerce, and Handicrafts to contribute to reducing prices because the significant rise in the number of basic materials has burdened the overwhelming majority of Tunisians. Including small traders and industrialists, and internal and external challenges cannot be faced except by working together, in solidarity, and in collaboration.
