Tunisia Bakers Stage Protest as Locals Queue for Bread
August 7, 2023
Nearly 200 Tunisian bakers took part in a sit-in outside the headquarters of the Ministry of Commerce in Tunis Monday to protest the closure of more than 1,500 bakeries following a government decision to cut off the supply of subsidized flour.
"We are forbidden to carry out our normal activity, which is the production of baguettes," said Mohamed Jamali, president of the Groupement des Boulangeries Modernes (Group of Modern Bakeries).
Meanwhile, Tunisians queued outside a bakery in Tunis following the nationwide shutdown of bakeries.
