Protests in Gabes Over Chemical Plant
The city of Gabès in Tunisia has witnessed ongoing protests, including marches and demonstrations, demanding the dismantling of the polluting industrial units belonging to the Tunisian Chemical Group. These protests stem from environmental and health damages caused by the factory's activities, which have been state-owned since 1972. The protests follow escalating environmental tensions and a decline in the efforts of authorities, with demonstrators, political parties, and human rights organizations calling for radical measures rather than mere emission reductions or rehabilitation. They also remind stakeholders of the damages, including air and water pollution, as well as the decline in agricultural and marine activities.
