Mansour Moalla

Mansour Moalla (Arabic: منصور معلى; born 1 March 1930) is a Tunisian economist, businessman and politician who held several cabinet posts in the period from the 1960s to the early 1980s.

[3] Moalla was one of the founders of the General Union of Tunisian Students based in France and assumed its presidency in its second conference held in 1954.

[2] During this period he was part of the team who were carrying out the negotiations for internal autonomy led by Tahar Ben Ammar, a leading Tunisian landowner.

[11] The reason for his resignation was a libellous public campaign due to the allegations of the existence of a Masonic lodge which aimed to “control the structures of the national economy.

"[11] This campaign was likely to occur following Moalla's criticisms against the Tunisian government for being compliant to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.

[9][12] In October 2013 Moalla was one of the potential candidates to head the caretaker government to be formed following the unrest during the Arab Spring events.

[15] His another book is Sortie de crise et union nationale: pourquoi et comment (French: Exit from the crisis and national unity: why and how) which was published in 2019.
