Session of Comrade "Moncef TBIB"
The Central Committee of the Patriotic Democratic Socialist Party held its meeting under the name of "Moncef TBIB Session" on July 5–6 at the party headquarters in Tunis, amid a critical historical moment marked by global transformations, deepening class and social contradictions, and the rise of popular resistance across the world. It discussed international, Arab, and national developments and defined the tasks of the phase. After deliberation, the Central Committee:
1) Notes the intensifying cyclical crisis of global capitalism, which has entered a new phase of recession and stagnation, as confirmed by global growth figures for 2025, the disruption of supply chains, and the deterioration of trade due to escalating imperialist wars. These are not transient crises but reflect the inherent contradictions of the global capitalist mode of production and signal a gradual shift in the balance of power in favor of peoples and working classes.
2) Denounces imperialist military escalation from Ukraine to the Middle East, where the US and its allies use weapons, blockades, and funding to perpetuate their dominance over peoples and resources. It particularly condemns the latest US-Zionist aggression on Iran and salutes the heroic resistance of the Iranian people who inflicted heavy losses on the enemy.
3) Salutes the heroic Palestinian resistance in Gaza and across historic Palestine, which has been waging a legendary battle for months against the Zionist war machine, backed by Western colonial powers and reactionary Arab regimes. The committee values all solidarity efforts to break the siege on Gaza — including the Tunisian/Maghrebian convoy, the Freedom Flotilla, and the Global March for Gaza — and calls for their expansion, public and diplomatic reinforcement, and for the passing of a law criminalizing all forms of normalization with the Zionist entity.
4) Condemns the tripartite Zionist-American-Turkish occupation of Syria, which has turned it into a battleground of chaos and destruction, part of the “New Middle East” fragmentation plan, and notes the push by terrorist groups in Syria toward normalization with the Zionist state. It also rejects the continued Zionist aggression on Lebanon, Gaza, and Yemen, and salutes the heroic Yemeni resistance.
5) Condemns the reactionary war in Sudan, driven by local proxies under the command of competing colonial powers aiming to plunder resources and dismantle the state. It calls for an immediate end to the war and for the Sudanese people to determine their future free from foreign interference.
6) Hails the growing wave of popular and workers’ movements across the globe — from campus uprisings in the US in solidarity with Palestine, to major strikes in Europe, and hunger rebellions in Africa. These movements mark a new global rebellion phase against capitalism and imperialism. It calls for stronger networks between progressive and revolutionary forces in Tunisia, the Arab world, and internationally, to fulfill national liberation and build scientific socialism leading to the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Nationally, the Central Committee:
7) Calls for continued revolutionary struggle to establish full national sovereignty, achieve social justice, and stand with the oppressed masses in their path toward eliminating poverty and class injustice.
8) Reaffirms the centrality of the national question in all political action, and asserts that national liberation from indirect colonialism remains the principal task for revolutionaries.
9) Rejects and confronts the attempts of the reactionary “opposition” front — composed of parties and NGOs organically linked via funding to the EU, US, Gulf states, and Turkey — to restore the so-called “democratic transition” process in service of their anti-people agendas.
10) While demanding the repeal or amendment of Decree 54 to protect freedom of expression and critique, it clearly distinguishes between opinion cases and those of corruption or terrorism.
11) Considers the current crisis in Tunisia not technical or temporary, but structural, rooted in a system still subjugated to imperialist financial institutions, which has only produced austerity, dependency, rising unemployment, destruction of public services, and the erosion of purchasing power. Even the reforms proposed today — such as resolving the cases of young doctors, public workers, adjunct professors, and banning labor outsourcing — remain partial and selective. They do not address the foundations of the dependent capitalist model. These are patchwork attempts to absorb public anger without any radical or inclusive direction. The only just and deep solution lies in reigniting the revolutionary process and advancing toward a national democratic revolution with socialist horizons that breaks from colonialism and exploitation, and builds a new, sovereign Tunisia rooted in people’s democracy and social justice.
12) Reaffirms its commitment to the unification of all national democratic forces and calls for solid preparation for the upcoming national conference to build the revolutionary party of the working class, peasants, laborers, and committed socialist intellectuals.
