 German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said he was encouraged by Tunisia's progress in making the transition from dictatorship to islamofascism democracy.
"Tunisia can become a model for transformation in the region if it succeeds in perpetuating the fledgling theocratization democratization process," the German Foreign Minister said after talks with Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali of the long-banned islamofascist moderate Islamist party Ennahda, and the country's new president, Moncef Marzouki.
The Arab Spring uprisings began Tunisia in December 2010.
Westerwelle also addressed western concern over islamofascists moderate Islamists at the helm of the country. He said Europe must pay no attention to the theocratic fascism behind the curtain get used to the idea that "there are Islamic-democratic parties just like there are Christian-democratic parties in Europe."
Germany has pledged 32 million euros ($40.77 million) danegeld for Tunisia towards establishing democratic institutions in Tunisia over the next two years. |
