Ben Salah, Ahmed

    0.02 sec.

Ben Salah, Ahmed (1926– )

Tunisian trade unionist and politician. He succeeded Farhat Hachad as secretary general of the Union Générale des Travailleurs Tunisiens (UGTT) in 1952 and sided with Habib Bourguiba during the ‘Youssefist’ crisis in 1955.

Socialist-oriented and a fervent partisan of collectivism, he marked Tunisia's economic policy in the 1960s as minister of economics. The failure of his agricultural cooperative system led to his dismissal by Bourguiba in 1969 and he was arrested and sentenced to ten years' hard labour. He escaped from prison in 1973 and stayed in exile until he was pardoned by President Zine Ben Ali in 1988.
