3:45 pm
eleventh of may that they would use. no new cases or knowing your debts does this matter that's true she has overcome the virus. but if you want to tell you the truth i don't think you can say things quite so. clearly but never the less we are very happy on the progress we've achieved in the last two days with the number of recovery is. is of the seventy percent. and we had no new cases for the last two days but we remain vigilant. seeing what's been going on in other countries. so we remain vigilant massively we offer mentoring with targeting- using little conley remaining quite attentive to the situation but the curve is quite good and i hope they will continue down this path and tradition and everywhere else in the world. at and- started to ease lockdown in tunisia. on monday
3:46 pm
we saw somee shops and businesses were starting to open the doors so what do all of those thoughts and what feedback to getting from the feel about how things panning out. or are you seeing signs of concern. no to tell you the truth as always a period of uncertainty at the beginning of each phase. the first three days of- last week. we have the time to re adapt ourselves to organize ourselves between the different authorizations to open up and the things. as to where we can start working in order from last thursday but we remain. vigilant for the time being there's no real rush to war the results are good. when it comes to recoveries and junior cases. we've been repeating the same message to offer the citizens to keep the right mind set to remain vigilant which has worked and we can see that everything has been done for over two months now- with this contract of mutual trust between- the
3:47 pm
authorities and civil society and the tradition people we still we've managed to keep. this outbreak under the law and i hope that we can continue on the same path and with this same contract of mutual trust i don't suit his contract is hopefully going to end up with the country getting back to normal which is currently planned for the fourteenth of june is that still the plan is it realistic all are you thinking t that maybe it's a bit too soon to make that decision and you need more time. to see if you have really taken control because of it. well quite quickly clearly and we have plans and easing of the lockdown in three phases we all still in the first. and in the middle of the first phase which will last until the twenty fourth. of may for more. we will continue to follow- everything that. we've planned we're doing things gradually. and on this is what we've always said we've been very transparent if things get better we can even go faster
3:48 pm
you sought to if things take a turn for the worst. then there is no reason why we shouldn't backtrack we could even. impose a- total look down again but up until now our predictions reflect the situation on the ground. thanks we're going forward with continuing with the- going along the same path the same rhythm. the using the same. this division approach to anticipate and tossed the people and i've always had this i've said that the- authorities intrusion do 30% of the work but the rest of the work is done by the citizens. might traditions. who do this work by respecting the rules that have been set forth by the authorities. i know you know see that there are also economic issues to take into account and there is concerning reports coming out of a 4% recession for this year which would be the largest recession since independence. the m. s.
3:49 pm
has grown to a e emergency lelearned of seven hundred forty five million dollars but what about all the partners for tunisia are they ready to learn or even give you money. i mean this sends a clear message that may be the learn from the honest wasn't enough are you getting indications from you saying that t they will come to your. aid and how much do you need the food haaaas say this. economics in tunis. has been very difficult even before the corona virus epidemic these situation overseas become worse. yeah big fan just as it has been good for the global economy. everyone in the world we're going through recession right now and so we're working with numbers which is still not very not very fine tuned last fall- does this mean that the recession could actually be worse in tunis here than expected. could could be worse
3:50 pm
we're trying to find two in these these estimates for the last three weeks- trying to work on them it will just depend on to nisha you know that to nisha. to nisha is an open country it's an exporting coununtry. it's a country that has many partners especially in europe and it's the european situation which will have an impact. on the growth. at least when it comes to the- expxport dog- separate drivers the ball to the ball but it all depends on the global economic recovery right now. we're in the situation where working with the figures that you mentioned the tweet rooms are still trying to find tune these figures are working on different business sectors and we're preparing to relaunch the economy to- re launch. tool of business- lines. i'm we working on plans to finance- budgets to
3:51 pm
updated or trying to see what the sources of funding are available be it on a domestic level internationally and up until now. we're working with our partners be they financial institutions international institutions are bilateral partners we're working directly with them to see what's possible what solutions can be found. for this very difficult yeah how much money do you need ideally speaking how much money does time choosing data in international aid well. we already had a budget that anticipated to external funding of around eight billion dinars which is. around two and a half billion euros. that more trees and i think that this figure will have to be doubled at least when it. comes to the needs that will have to be met to be able to balance the twenty twenty budget. today we
3:52 pm
are in the process as i've already said we're in the process of trying to see all the solutions that are available when it comes to funding on the updated budget. sure it was a domestic level role. of the international thing he- we also send our goal. bond a mid june is to have a clear view of the situation i hope things will. themselves up of everywhere in the worldld but of course you know that all of this is very hypothetical very fragile because- until we found a queue of and you know very well that we haven't found a q. we haven't found a vaccination. not until we've we've done that we will not be shielded from a return of this epidemic after the summer or at the end of this year. also for the time being w we are trying to find
3:53 pm
june these figures and to find financing sources. in order to be able to re launch- economy. prime minister we don't have much time left i'd like to talk about polilitics there is a tension with the annual coalition and within the government they're a coles from berries have politicians on social media to change things up that do you really have to support of and now the- or do you have the feeling that you're a bit of a moving target introducing. the well to tell you the truth. i'm not. t that interested in movies. manic total stories i'm not looking at the big picture here. and what i see today is the judicial with- it's in that situation has. being able to remain very level headed. in this battle. in this battle against the virus. and this is borne fruit will when it comes to health we're working on the-
3:54 pm
economic support on social aspects and all the bottles all the institutions are working together but do not feel that things are a little shaky. yeah you know this is a coalition that isn't very well you have to follow the situation in this you have to see how this government came to power after the elections last october don this coalition is quite fragile while we're talking about different schools different political families who are working together back to the very first time. and this is a challenge that said scripps national unity and i knew very well even befofore the cororonavirus that they'll be battles to be fought i like i said the economic situation difficult into show last is a very difficult from an i'm a client of is its success when it comes to the trip transition we've had a fight ensues. which engine of that i've done is that i will take. all the- this
3:55 pm
this national unity code i'm going to becacause i really want to get told players on the- groups to fight to. battle search one last question do you foresee tunis as part of the coalition. but for the time being i've been very clear about this for the time being i'm already trying to create cohesion within a- coalition. which has a significant- majority- i'm trying to. create cohesion within the coalition turned full strength in it there's nothing could be done overnight it's something that has to be done gradually there's always attention's- and- once this is done then we might be able to open to all the parties in my goal today is to remain focused. can you to consult the taco pollution. in order to win this battle and then take up the next fight against p poverty and to revise the tunisian economy to transform the tunisian economy something that- we're- looking.
