The nature of Tunisian society, which has been eroded by divisions and bewildered, not long ago, by the multiplication of parties, the fast succession of governments, and the multiplicity of governance experiments. This has resulted in a state of "political instability" that culminated in the "July 25, 2021" event whose aftermaths we are still suffering today.

The need to spare the country from the frantic pursuit by some circles to reproduce failed experiments from Tunisia's recent history, where parties remained stagnant, became burdens, and turned into part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

The desire to differentiate and avoid replicating ready-made structures and molds that place everyone in the same category and fail to offer Tunisians a "new" alternative that is distinct, in content and essence, from the rest.

The desire to ensure that the new entity serves as a tool for action beyond itself, not a shelter that harbors like-minded individuals and prevents them from mingling with others. We want an entity directed toward action and achievement, a body relieved of heavy organizational burdens that drain time, effort, and money... an entity free to serve the public interest (the nation), not the private interest (the party).

The desire for the new entity to draw inspiration in its content, methodology, and objectives from the spirit of the state, not from the party spirit, in its pursuit to serve the public interest without discrimination among Tunisians; supporting the efforts of the state rather than replacing or conspiring against it; oriented to serve the common good, not merely the party members or activists; respecting the seven-stage mechanism in its various activities: thinking, decision-making, action, communication, follow-up, evaluation, adjustment and rectification.

The will to ensure that the entity is flexible and dynamic, capable of adapting to the developments of a changing reality. Closed, rigid, and ossified entities are more prone to breaking down in the face of rapidly evolving events. In addition, given the nature of modern societies, their members reject joining any entity resembling a sect from which one cannot leave. The modern individual wishes to express and practice their convictions without relinquishing their freedom and their inclination toward autonomy.

An entity that emphasizes joint action, and organizes and invests in the "common concern or minimum shared ground" based on the concept of "contract" rather than that of "loyalty" or absolute submission... An entity that respects the "autonomy" of its contracting members without calling on them to relinquish their particularities (whether individuals, groups, institutions, or civil society organizations).

A uniting entity that supports initiatives, regardless of their originators, as long as they work for the public interest and respect the "Our Duty Charter," which is envisioned as a "Code of Good Conduct" and a contribution to the moralization of political action. An incubator for all good intentions and a "facilitator" for all initiatives, aimed at supporting comprehensive reform efforts. Hence, we understand the importance of mobilizing and attracting political abstainers, independents, boycotters, and non-voters. But before that, it is essential that everyone knows we are the "inclusive home" for initiatives within a "networked" action system (a dynamic network system is better than a rigid, ossified party system) that unites all sincere intentions.

This taskforce does not seek to showcase its power (through emphasis on sheer numbers of affiliates) but rather to achieve efficiency and effectiveness (by carefully selecting individuals, means, action methods, spheres of action, optimal timing, and swift execution). It is not a team concerned with asserting its existence, but one that is governed by a clear and pre-defined "goal-oriented policy." A team that embodies the spirit of the state more than that of political parties, so that it becomes evident to all that its objective is to offer the country, when needed, true "statesmen" driven by "the public interest," not "partisans" fiercely defending narrow factional agendas.

The three core missions undertaken by the taskforce (legal and human rights-based, political and economic, societal and civic) are basically aimed at shaping a new political actor, one distinguished by a strong presence of youth and women, and by its capacity for renewal, innovation, and reliance on four driving forces.

• A civil social force: by liberating civic and social initiative.
• A leadership force: by institutionalizing leadership, equipping it with tools for action and implementation, and assisting it in enhancing the quality of decision-making.
• A coalition force: through openness, partnerships, and alliances with independents or organized entities.
• A communication force: by investing in the most modern, effective, and skillful media and communication strategies.

We seek a political space populated by contracting members, not merely affiliated members... Effectiveness requires that each new contracting member sign a clear objective-based agreement, defined by a specific field and governed by a set timeline. We do not seek members who claim to specialize in everything (and actually, in nothing), driven by one guiding principle: loyalty. We seek contracting members who bring "added value" across various fields, assigned to specific tasks with clear timelines, driven by a logic of action and achievement. They are diverse, constantly renewed, injecting fresh energy and generating a sustained positive dynamic.

Our vision and subsequent choice regarding the organization and functioning of the new political entity stem from our desire and determination to revive the idea of the "Tunisian model", which has distinguished our country during key moments of its modern history and earned it a prominent position among nations in a short period following independence, despite its small size and limited resources. We are not in need of importing solutions or replicating experiences whose premises and objectives are incompatible with the "Tunisian specificity", a principle we have diligently promoted and strengthened throughout every stage of our action, from inception to implementation.

• The integrity of all candidates (according to their track records) for leadership positions within political organizations, for national, regional, or local elections, or for positions within state institutions.
• Adherence to the "Our Duty" Charter, which defines the noble objectives and the ethical framework that governs political action in both theory and practice.
