Another world is possible
Another world is possible - Malika Benarab-Attou
"Thousands of people of all nationalities, are gathering in Tunis at the World Social Forum, sharing the same aspirations, the same common desire - that another world is possible. More and more people believe and say that the world today does not represent or suit them. They want to build together an alternative. Greens MEPs are there to listen, to work to help secure this dynamic and work together with civil society to build the alternative, for future generations." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Opening March
The Greens believe another world is possible, especially with the mobilisation and energy of citizens to construct it. At the opening march of this year's World Social Forum in Tunis, we gave our support for a great initiative for the alternative world that we need As Greens, we of course believe that an ecological transformation is a neccessary part of this, and that is something that we will definitely be discussing in Tunis. Tunisia is a special place as a location for this year's Forum. There are great social and economic challenges as well as a still fresh revolutionary process, instability and uncertainty. But Tunisia is advancing, opening a window and opening hope. The Greens are standing with Tunisian civil society, acting in solidarity with a people who overthrew their dictator. We are present with the youth here, and the hope that is displayed, and obviously we give our full support. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
