Tunisia will remain “safe” and “strong” through its institutions and the cohesion of its people, President of the Republic Kaïs Saïed said as he received Interior Minister Taoufik Charfeddine at the Palace of Carthage.
The meeting took place a few hours after a tunnel was discovered near the residence of the French ambassador in Marsa.
In a video posted by the Presidency of the Republic Wednesday evening, the Head of State said despite attempts to exaggerate about that tunnel, “there is evidence on the existence of a criminal action» adding that “the competent security authorities will reveal the truth and the case will be brought to justice.
