Candidates for the Ezzouhour/Tunis I constituency Ahmed Hammami, Faten SmSali and LassSad Dahman all focused their programmes on supporting young people, with proposals likely to increase opportunities for integration into professional and economic life.
Candidate Faten SommSali, who adopted the campaign slogan “Our strength at the service of our Imadas,” stated that she will work to set up a centre for the treatment of drug addiction and to contribute to drug prevention.
She also proposed giving new impetus to the local cultural centre, whose activities serve neither young people nor culture.
As for the environment, she pledged to work for swift and radical solutions to the problem of household waste and rubble piled up in the region.
Candidate LassaSd Dahman, a retired Tunisair employee, said he is determined to endeavour to regularise the land situation of homes, support youths economically through the creation of a young economic chamber to help them carry out their own projects.
He pointed out that
many young people with project ideas do not have sufficient experience to get started or to access the necessary funding.
He proposed that a showroom be set up to help women market their products, affirming his commitment to approach the Tunisian Solidarity Bank and development associations to obtain micro-credits to help them develop their projects.
In his election programme, candidate Ahmed Hammami, a journalist, proposes the construction of a football stadium at the Bouakkez school, to be used in return for generating income for the school.
He also proposed the drafting of specific laws on digital money, which he considers could be a solution for the young people of the locality and Tunisian youth in general.
