Kaïs Saïed

Kaïs Saïed is the current President of Tunisia. He is in the news recently due to his interactions with the media and international relations. He publicly criticized the Tunisian public television, urging it to change its discourse and "meet the moment," a statement that contrasts with concerns about media freedom in the country. Furthermore, he held a phone conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron on the occasion of Tunisia's 70th Independence Day. Discussions during this call centered on key issues such as migration, the conflict in the Middle East, and the repatriation of assets illicitly acquired during the Ben Ali regime. These events highlight Saïed's focus on domestic media control and his engagement with international partners on pressing regional and global challenges.
