The Current of Love or Tayar el-Mahaba (Tunisian Arabic: تيار المحبة, French: Courant de l'amour), before May 2013 known as the Popular Petition for Freedom, Justice and Development (Tunisian Arabic: العريضة الشعبية للحرية والعدالة والتنمية, el-‘Arīḍah esh-Sha‘biya Lil-Ḥuriya Wel-‘Adāla Wet-Tanmiya), French: Pétition populaire pour la liberté, la justice et le développement), short Popular Petition, Aridha Chaabia or Al Aridha is a political movement and electoral list in Tunisia. It was formed after the Tunisian revolution, on 17 March 2011. It has been founded and led by the political writer and media entrepreneur Mohamed Hechmi Hamdi. It is closely linked to the Party of Progressive Conservatives which has been officially registered as a political party.
Hechmi Hamdi, who is the owner of Al Mustakilla satellite TV channel, is alleged to have close ties with Tunisia's ousted president Ben Ali, but decries such allegations as slander. In the campaign ahead of the Constituent Assembly election on 23 October 2011, the party has promised free health care, and an allowance of 200 dinars for each of the 500,000 jobseekers in Tunisia. Hechmi Hamdi personally has pledged to inject 2 billion dinars of his own wealth into the national budget. Al-Mustakilla channel has fiercely supported the Petition's campaign. Therefore, numerous complaints against Aridha Chaabia have been filed with the electoral commission ISIE, asking for an annulment of the list and its seats.
