Tunisian President Kais Saied told
visiting Premier Giorgia Meloni in Tunis Tuesday that the north
African country's government would say no to unacceptable
diktats from the International Monetary Fund, with which talks
on a much-needed bailout have stalled amid reform disagreements.
"Those who prescribe prefabricated recipes are like a doctor who
gives a recipe before diagnosing the disease," said the Tunisian
president.
The IMF "diktats", said Saied, "could rather make the situation
explode, threatening civilian peace in Tunisia with consequences
that might stretch to the whole region."
Saied then used the opportunity to raise the issue of cancelling
Tunisia's state debts and concerting them into development
projects.
