An analysis conducted by Friedrich Ebert Stiftung and erlassjahr.de called on Tunisia to initiate a new social compact that must start with comprehensive debt relief and a true national dialogue on economic reforms that are not prescribed by the IMF.
Presented on Thursday in Tunis, the analysis entitled “The Tunisian debt crisis in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic: Debt repayments over human rights?, that the civil society should proactively demand that the human rights of Tunisian people should be prioritized over creditors’ rights to be paid in full.”
The document called that “the civil society should also demand to be equally heard in occasions such as the discussions with the IMF mission. Decisions that affect the lives of millions of people must not be taken behind closed doors at the Ministry of Finance and in Washington.”
