The march started from Batheâa Mohamed Ali Hammâi and ended at Habib Bourguiba Avenue under the slogan 'Tunisia first, the people above all.'
The demands raised focused on the independence of the judiciary, protecting workers' rights, releasing political detainees, combating price hikes, and rising unemployment.
Union deputy secretary general Salaheddine Salem stated that Tunisia's current crisis lies in the concentration of power and is not merely a financial difficulty.
