President of the Republic reaffirms judiciary’s historic role in cleansing the country

Tunis: President Kais Saied reiterated the historic role of the judiciary in cleaning up the country when he met with Justice Minister Leila Jaffal at Carthage Palace on Wednesday, reminding her that procedures have been put in place to ensure a fair trial and not to evade accountability and punishment. "No one is above the law, freedom can only be exercised within its framework, and those who today falsely claim to be victims of the lack of freedom are among its worst enemies, because they do not accept a true democratic system based on the will of the people and forget their abuses and the large sums of money they have received from suspicious sources, both local and foreign". He added that "their seminars and meetings are only organised in luxurious hotels, but they pretend to be defenders of the national decision and to be on the side of the poor," according to a statement from the Presidency of the Republic. The meeting also discussed the final version of the revision of Article 411 of the Commercial Code, which takes into account a fair and desirable balance between all parties involved, «since «experience has shown that the current system lacks such a balance.» Source: Agence Tunis Afrique Presse
