Karim Tabti (born 14 February 2009 in Foggia, Italy) is an Italian student and youth politician. Since September 2025, he has served as the City Secretary of the Young Socialists in Foggia and Founder of the “Sandro Pertini” Territorial Branch of the Federation of Young Socialists (FGS), the youth organization of the Italian Socialist Party (PSI), in Foggia, Italy.

Early life and education

Tabti was born and raised in Foggia. He attends the Blaise Pascal Technical, Economic, and Technological Institute in his hometown, where he developed a strong interest in computer science and civic engagement. At the age of 14, he experienced a profound personal loss when his sister, Miriam Farida Tabti, passed away due to cancer, an event that deeply shaped his life.

Political career

The “Sandro Pertini” branch of the Federation of Young Socialists in Foggia was established with the aim of encouraging civic participation and cultural initiatives among young people in the city. Tabti described the creation of the branch as an important milestone for youth engagement in Foggia.

Since September 2025, he has served as City Secretary of the Giovani Socialisti (Young Socialists) in Foggia, where he coordinates youth political activities and organizational efforts.

In February 2026, Tabti was elected Provincial President of the "Giuliano Vassalli" Committee for the Yes campaign in Foggia, a civic committee formed in support of a justice referendum. In this role, he has coordinated informational initiatives and public outreach related to the referendum.

Public engagement

In September 2025, Tabti publicly expressed solidarity with Arianna Petti, a 19-year-old student from Foggia who was a victim of deepfake pornography. Her private images were stolen, manipulated, and disseminated online, often accompanied by obscene captions and personal information. Some of the images were also posted on walls around the city, leading to widespread harassment. Tabti condemned the act as a violation of privacy and personal dignity, emphasizing the importance of supporting victims.

He has also spoken publicly on issues related to public safety in Foggia. Following the assault on Andrea Tigre, Tabti criticized the resurgence of violence in the city, stating that Foggia deserves safer streets.

In late 2025 and early 2026, Tabti commented on further episodes of youth violence in Foggia, including cases involving minors, calling for structured prevention policies, investment in youth services, and greater institutional attention to social distress. He highlighted the importance of educational, cultural, and recreational initiatives aimed at preventing marginalization and criminal behavior among young people.
