 President
Sarkozy will inaugurate on July 13, 2008, with the showiness
that he enjoys, the Union for the Mediterranean. He is
presented as the architect of the project.
The goal posted out is to promote a new
partnership between the European Union and the countries of
the “southern Mediterranean”, which purposes are to
accelerate their development.
What is it?
No originality or invention as for the
concept. But a remarkable absence of dialogue near the
people to which the project seems to be carried out for.
What reveals the official sources is that,
the structure (let us not speak about institution) would
have two presidents: France and Egypt. An eagle with two
heads. It will be noted that before even joining together
the assembly of the blissful participating States, it has
already been decided which would be the chiefs. Two leaders
not very liable to suspicion of the anti-Americanism.
As for the financing, the aspect hasn’t been
yet solved, Germany, so perplexed and not so much implicated
require a complete EU involvement, the French man is running
after external funds.
What if the goal of the UFM?
According to AFP, it would not be a question
“of annoying the leaders on the questions of human rights
and democracy”. This is encouraging! It would be about
fighting against the pollution of sea water, about the
development of solar energy, the access to water.
Who would be against such intention…
For creditable is the objective, since it is
of the protection of our environment, we cannot wonder about
the shift between the noisy advertisement and the event
itself.
Why, if all the bordering states are
concerned, the promoter of the project reserved the honor of
his visit only in Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco?
Which will be the role and the statute of the
Zionist State which is reproduced indeed on the list of the
participants, whereas Palestine is missing? Why not keeping
treating the question of the right of people for the
independence and to the respect?
The plays are made in advance, according to
certain editorials, and it is difficult not to smell the
true objective behind the smoke: supporting in fact
the acknowledgment of the American project of the great
Middle East, and imposing Israel as honourable partner.
Forget about the UN resolutions which have
never been respected, anyway, who is remembering them?
