The statement by Alessandro Perelli, Vice-president of ALDA: “The new Tunisia have became a target of terrorism because it adopted European progressive values”
The terrorist attacks of IS (Islamic State) are more frequent also in Europe and have caused hundreds of innocent victims. The European Union finds itself on the crossroads. On the one hand, it is its responsibility to accept the political refugees and provide them with hospitality. On the other hand, EU should put in place a common policy, which should provide to all those people who are willing to leave their own countries and land onto the Italian coasts with a decent life in their origin country, instead. At the same time, the EU must face the challenge posed by terrorism, which exploits migration fluxed to get stronger.
But the tragedy of Sousse, in Tunisia, shows that IS has a precise strategy and their acting is not random. The new Tunisia, lay and democratic, became again the target of terrorism, after the massacre in the museum in Tunis. This attack hit very severely the Tunisian nation and its people, who had the courage to choose the same values of democracy and liberty, through its new Constitution, promoting the respect to all religions, the defence of the minorities, equal opportunities and the active citizenship which is the base of the modern and progressive European society.
ALDA – European Association for Local Democracy is going to continue with its work together with Lam Echalm, and its President Moncef Ben Slimane and other Tunisian friend who joint the way of the democratic and civilian laws promotion; and is going to strengthen the effort to be able to quickly introduce Local Democracy Agency in Tunisia, the first LDA in the Mediterranean area.
