July 25, 2026, the anniversary of the Tunisian Republic, was marked this year by demonstrations in Tunis called by civil society. Hundreds of people marched to denounce the political crisis, amidst economic hardship and power outages.
Five years after President Kaïs Saïed's power grab, July 25th took on a particular resonance in the streets of Tunis. Hundreds of demonstrators answered the call from civil society to express their opposition to the country's political situation.
The rally took place against a backdrop of multiple tensions: a persistent economic crisis and power cuts that are fueling public discontent. The protesters denounced the political trajectory undertaken since 2021, when Kaïs Saïed suspended Parliament and concentrated power in his own hands.
July 25th is officially the anniversary of the proclamation of the Tunisian Republic, established in 1957. This date, chosen by Saïed for his coup in 2021, has since been at the heart of a symbolic battle between the government and its opponents.
