“Young” MEPs to Lady Ashton: Tell Mubarak to Get Out!
And one more open letter. It emanates, this time, from about twenty young MEPs of all tendencies and all nationalities (EPP, S&D, Greens...). Among them the French Damien Abad (UMP), Sandrine Bélier (Greens), Karrima Deli (Greens), and the Belgian Said El Khadraoui (Spa). The petitioners criticize the European Union's excessively cautious attitude towards the events in Egypt. “This requires a strong European response and concrete actions they point out.
Europe" hesitated in these decisive moments and failed to support, wholeheartedly, the demand for change in Egypt ". The signatories, all young people under 40, feel in tune with the desires of young Egyptians. They ask that the High Representative calls for: “ the immediate resignation of President Hosni Mubarak, support a transitional government including members of the opposition, financially support the democratic transition. (...) Change is needed and needed now ».
