Tunisian deputy Hassen Jarboui warns of worsening social crisis amid water and power cuts
Deputy Hassen Jarboui criticised the Tunisian executive for failing to meet citizens' demands and warned that the social situation could deteriorate further. He highlighted the impact of widespread water and electricity cuts, citing the death of a patient reliant on an oxygen machine during a power outage. Jarboui also pointed to the prolonged vacancy of the Minister of Industry, Mines and Energy, which is currently overseen by the Minister of Equipment and Housing, and lamented the absence of ministers at parliamentary sessions. He urged urgent action to restore essential services across all regions and offered that parliamentarians would forfeit their privileges if the Assembly impeded necessary reforms.
