Tunis: President Kais Saied’s visit to Nabeul follows requests and warnings from MPs about the state of Hammamet’s beach, which is suffering from serious sea erosion, as well as the deplorable state of the sewage system, Yassine Memi, MP representing Hammamet in the ARP and president of the Culture and Services Committee in Parliament, told TAP.

After this visit, the state, with all its structures, should effectively begin the necessary reforms in this region to find solutions to the problems of the city of Hammamet, where the quality of services is deteriorating at all levels,” he added.

The deputy expressed his desire to see action taken, particularly on the beach and coastline, and to find solutions to the problem of waste water disposal, especially as the tourist season is approaching.

He also mentioned the town’s urban development plan, which he said had been blocked for years.

The President of the Republic on Saturday visited the town of Hammamet, where he inspected the beach, which is submerged in
seawater, and took note of the marine pollution caused by sewage.
