Tunisia marks 69th Republic Anniversary
Today, Friday, Tunisia celebrates the 69th anniversary of the declaration of the republic, a foundational event in the history of the Tunisian state. It marked the end of monarchical rule and established the republican system, paving the way for wide-ranging reforms within state institutions, including the issuance of the constitution and the modernization of the judiciary and education. The declaration of the republic took place on July 25, 1957, following Tunisia's independence from France in 1956, and led to the election of Habib Bourguiba as the country’s first president, officially ending the rule of the Husaynid Beys. Over the past 69 years, Tunisia has experienced significant constitutional and political development, with successive constitutional amendments and ongoing debates about the nature of the political system. However, support for the republican option has remained firm, with the 2022 new constitution officially enshrining the republican system. This anniversary coincides with the implementation of the Development Plan 2026-2030, which aims to enhance development indicators, national sovereignty, and achieve inclusive and sustainable growth amidst international challenges and domestic changes, with a focus on modernizing institutions and improving economic and social performance.
