Tunisian MPs Express Disappointment over Government's 2025 Budget Plan
During the plenary session dedicated to examining the government's 2025 budget, held on Sunday, November 10, at the Bardo Palace, MPs expressed strong disappointment over a speech deemed too general. This dissatisfaction was relayed by Maher Ktari, a Tunisian MP, during his intervention on November 11, on the Expresso program hosted by Wassim Belarbi.
The debate focused on the executive's projects and priorities for the coming year. According to Ktari, the head of government was content to present minor measures without outlining a clear vision to guide the country's policies. "We started with small measures without having a clear objective," he regretted. For the MP, it was essential to set a precise objective first, before proposing concrete actions to achieve it.
The frustration of MPs was also evident in their perception of a repetition of the same speeches since 2022, without significant progress. MPs, Ktari specified, were hoping for concrete answers and more transparent details regarding budgetary priorities and government initiatives.
In the coming days, the parliament will discuss the budget allocated to each ministry and examine the concrete decisions planned for 2025. The notable absence of the Governor of the Central Bank of Tunisia, who plays a crucial role in financial and monetary balance, has also raised questions about the executive's commitment to this economic planning process.
