All forecasts and analyses indicate that Tunisians will face a profound shock once they fully grasp the scale of the destruction left behind by the regime of incompetence and failure, after its demise... A systematic and relentless demolition spree has damaged every vital sector of national life.

Managing the post-populist period will not be easy. Whoever seeks power must understand that they will inherit a state of unprecedented ruin. There will be no room for reckless experiments, impulsive decisions, or trial-and-error governance. Tunisia cannot afford another failure, one that could devastate what little remains of the state. The post-Kais Saied phase must be managed with efficiency, urgency, and purpose. Planning must begin now, to ensure that the country can embark on a path of reform without wasting time in confusion or political drift.

We propose dividing the post-populist transitional period into two main phases, each designed to achieve clear, concrete objectives that will guide the country to the safety shore.

This phase begins with a series of urgent measures aimed at ending the social and economic injustices, on one hand, and the political and legal injustices, on the other, inflicted by the prevailing system of incompetence and failure. A system that has victimized countless Tunisians, leaving in its wake poverty, exclusion, marginalization, unemployment, personal tragedies, desperate choices, and imprisonment... A country cannot rise when large segments of its population do not eat as others eat, do not share equal opportunities for a dignified life, and do not enjoy the same freedoms and fundamental rights as others do.

This initial stage of emergency measures, to be implemented within the first six months, is essential. Beyond its legal, procedural, and material dimensions, it carries deep symbolic, human, and psychological significance. It is a step toward national healing—a chance to recover from the trauma of authoritarianism and mediocrity and to overcome its visible and invisible scars, allowing Tunisians to regain trust in themselves, in each other, in their society, and in their elite, state and institutions.

Among our most urgent and vital tasks is to restore hope across all segments of society. This requires replacing negative and "catastrophic thinking" with a "constructive mindset." Only then can we move into a stage of preliminary reforms, targeting a number of critical and sensitive sectors. To borrow a medical metaphor, this would be the "rehabilitation phase", a period of time in which our economy regains its competitiveness, our public administration recovers its effectiveness, our society reclaims its vitality, and The Tunisian individual rediscovers ambition, initiative, and a desire to invest and contribute... The ultimate aim of this phase is to restore Tunisians' confidence in the future.

The program we present to the Tunisian people is structured around key priorities, each of which includes a set of measures: some to be implemented immediately, others within the first few months, and others over the course of the first two years following the end of populist rule. This program is not a sacred text. It is not about a societal, political or economic dogma. Rather, it is a thoughtful initiative, intended to show Tunisians that mediocrity is not their fate, failure is not their destiny, and powerlessness is not their only option... It is a program designed to evolve in response to the real needs of the people, in interaction with both national and international developments, and depending on the participation which we hope will be broad and enriching in this national endeavor.

Establishing the Constitutional Court; adopting the principle of separation of powers while maintaining balance among them; restoring the judiciary's status as an independent authority that upholds justice and guarantees fairness; releasing political prisoners and dissenting opinion holders; repealing all decrees and arbitrary procedures restricting freedom of expression, press, and media.

Finding urgent solutions for funding sources; reactivating the economy and improving business climate confidence; encouraging initiative, foreign and domestic investment; stimulating small and medium enterprises to achieve sustainable growth; improving the quality of public services to facilitate Tunisians' lives and enhance the country's competitiveness and tourism sector productivity according to global standards; enhancing educational services and providing high-quality education that respects equal opportunity principles for all citizens; restoring education to its central role in national priorities; improving transport services and transitioning to healthy and environmentally friendly means of transportation; ensuring healthcare security, access to health facilities, their acceptability, and quality for all Tunisians; combating all forms of corruption, rent-seeking, favoritism, and patronage; announcing a protective plan to fight poverty and unemployment, improving purchasing power, and rehabilitating distribution channels to guarantee availability of essential goods; addressing migration phenomena to and from our country, with urgent emphasis on reducing the exodus of young people, doctors, engineers, and skilled professionals who represent Tunisia's true wealth.

Securing democratic construction and rebuilding democratic institutions to definitively safeguard our society against any attempts to return to authoritarian practices and absolute rule.

Taking stock of the severe impacts of climate change on Tunisia and establishing an urgent national plan to mitigate environmental degradation caused by accumulated waste in all governorates; promoting an eco-friendly culture; and achieving energy and water security for our country.

Establishing a "path of reconciliation" among all Tunisians, individuals and institutions alike; moving beyond exclusionary and retaliatory behavior and the politics of resentment that have sown division among citizens of the same nation. While upholding the constitutional and legal right to difference, we must also fulfill the duty of de-escalation, the preservation of national unity and the rejection of violence in all its forms, in order to meet both internal and external challenges. This will not be possible without replacing the culture of mediocrity and failure with a culture of merit, work and excellence, a culture that raises public standards, supports the creative economy, encourages artistic, literary, and innovative expression and restores value to the sports sector in terms of vision, support, and investment. Above all, this means renewed confidence in Tunisia's youth, who are the wellspring of new energy and the hope of victory in the battle for the future.

Restoring Tunisia's image abroad and reaffirming the credibility of its positions on regional and international issues. This includes a firm commitment to never compromise national sovereignty or the country's foundational values. Tunisians abroad must be regarded as an integral part of our national identity. No one has the right to question their loyalty to Tunisia, their defense of its sovereignty, or their unwavering support during the nation's most difficult times.
