Fiftieth anniversary of the Destourian Socialist Party - 40 millimes

This broadcast commemorates the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Neo-Destour (which became the Destourian Socialist Party), founded on March 2, 1934 in Ksar Hellal. The illustration presents the portrait of Habib Bourguiba, historic leader and first president of the Tunisian Republic, framed by a traditional arcade evoking local architecture. The massive number “50” at the base of the stamp underlines the durability of the political institution which led Tunisia towards independence. It is a tribute to the national struggle and the construction of the modern state.
