"It was about time the European Parliament ended its silence on the Tunisian uprising. How can one remain deaf to the appeals, how can one remain unmoved by this dearth of democracy, how can one stay calm upon seeing men and women, rich and poor, young and old, demanding to be freed from a regime of fear?
Tunisia had a tacitly accepted autocratic model, a scenario in which the poorest, and even the middle class, were unable to imagine one day becoming the masters of their own destiny. This one and only approach has now been reduced to dust. These steps towards freedom lay the foundations for a new society and create hopes of a new equilibrium. The days of the dictatorial and technocratic East are over. It now remains to create a different kind of East.
Let us hope that the European institutions will be more receptive than ever to any requests for collaboration from these new states."@en1
