"Why do we accept this situation? We will not accept it...we will occupy the streets to defend our choices and the interest of the people,” Noureddine Taboubi, the head of UGTT, said. During 2023, which Economy Minister Samir Saeed said would be a "very difficult year", the government will also reduce subsidies' expenditures by 26.4 percent, mainly in energy and food.
