The deputy in the Assembly of the People’s Representatives, Mohamed Amine Ouerghi, issued a call for a collective boycott of Eid sheep purchases, believing that this initiative could help reduce the growing financial pressure on Tunisian families.
Avoiding social embarrassment in a context of rising prices
In a statement, the deputy explained that this proposal takes place in a context marked by a notable rise in the prices of Eid sheep, placing many families in embarrassing situations, particularly due to social pressures related to this religious festival.
According to him, a collective boycott approach would help ease these constraints and avoid social comparisons, while offering citizens an alternative in the face of the rising cost of living.
An appeal addressed to the government
Mohamed Amine Ouerghi also called on public authorities to officially adopt this approach, stating that several neighboring countries have already opted for similar measures to cope with the surge in prices.
This proposal comes in an economic context characterized by erosion of purchasing power and persistent inflation, reviving the debate on the cost of rituals associated with Eid al-Adha and on the mechanisms of market regulation.
