Political party in Tunisia
The Social Liberal Party (
Arabic : الحزب الاجتماعي التحرري ;
French : Parti social-libéral ), abbreviated to PSL , is an
opposition
liberal
political party in
Tunisia . The party is a member of the
Liberal International
[1] and the
Africa Liberal Network .
The party was founded in September 1988 under the name "Social Party for Progress" (
French : Parti social pour le progrès ), but was renamed in October 1993 to reflect its liberal ideology.
[2] At the
1999 election , it won election for the first time, winning its first two seats in the Chamber of Deputies.
They retained these two seats at the
2004 , when its candidate
Mohamed Mouni Béji also won 0.8% at the
presidential elections. In 2005,
Mongi Khamassi , one of the party's founders, split to form the
Green Party for Progress . Despite this, the PSL quadrupled its seats to eight in the
2009 election , making it the fifth-largest party.
As well as liberal social and political reforms, the PSL advocates
economic liberalisation , including the
privatisation of state-owned firms.
