Alternattiva Demokratika has asked the Maltese government to intervene with the Tunisian government to stop the bloodshed in the country. Prof. Arnold Cassola, Alternattiva Demokratika Spokesperson on EU and International Affairs said, “Scores of people have been killed in the past few days. People are clamouring for accessible food prices but also for the safeguard of civil liberties and for the implementation of real democracy in the country. President Ben Ali should immediately kick start the process for free and democratic elections in the country, which has been deprived of them since time immemorial.

Prof. Cassola added, “Alternattiva Demokratika supports the Tunision opposition forces, including the Green Party “Tunisie Verte”, in their call for an immediate halt to all violence by the police and the army and for the safeguarding of the freedom of expression, freedom of association, freedom of infomation and the enactment of full democratic rights.”

Michael Briguglio, AD Chairperson daid, “AD, together with the European Greens and the Global Greens, will support efforts made by the international community to encouarge pluralism and democritization in Tunisia, and in other societies characterised by authoritarian governments.”
