On October 2, 2026, Obeid Al-Breeki, Secretary-General of the "Tunisia Forward" movement, addressed the Central Council meeting of the movement in Hammamet. The meeting, held under the slogan "For a truly liberated Tunisia, a productive economy, and fair social development," focused on the current situation and recent developments in the country. Al-Breeki highlighted the importance of this meeting, given the unique circumstances and rapid developments, including recent arrests, protests, and environmental issues.

Al-Breeki emphasized that the movement remains committed to its initial stance supporting the July 25th path, which he described as a historic moment that cannot be reversed. However, he expressed concern over the slow progress in achieving social demands and the lack of implementation of laws on the ground. He also noted the prevailing attitude of mediators, parties, and organizations, stressing that building genuine development and creating wealth require two essential elements: political stability and social security.

The Secretary-General called for the necessity of purifying the general climate and pushing the country forward by adopting a prospective approach and avoiding previous crises. He cited examples of practical proposals to address water scarcity, collect rainwater, and support farmers in livestock breeding. Regarding recent amendments to Article 24 of Decree 54, the Central Council called for the release of all those convicted under this article.

Al-Breeki warned against the diminishing role of parties in this phase, emphasizing that the real challenge lies in building alliances that achieve national liberation, social justice, and consolidate freedoms. He pointed out that the Chamber of Deputies remains the authorized body to evaluate presidential decrees and take appropriate legislative measures. The movement's stance on these issues will be further developed in preparation for upcoming electoral challenges.

The Central Council meeting also addressed various issues, including the need for stability and security to achieve development goals. Al-Breeki stressed that the movement is committed to finding solutions to current problems and promoting a culture of dialogue and cooperation. He also highlighted the importance of supporting farmers and addressing environmental concerns.

In a related context, Al-Breeki touched on the role of the Chamber of Deputies in evaluating presidential decrees and taking necessary measures. He emphasized that the movement will continue to work towards achieving its goals and promoting the values of freedom, justice, and equality. The meeting concluded with a call for unity and cooperation among all parties to overcome current challenges.

The "Tunisia Forward" movement's stance on these issues reflects its commitment to promoting democracy, stability, and social justice in Tunisia. The movement's leaders believe that the July 25th path is a crucial step towards achieving these goals and that it is essential to continue working towards a more liberated and equitable society. The movement's efforts will likely play a significant role in shaping Tunisia's future.
