Protesters demand leaving the current interim government, they called to elect a constituent assembly to adopt a new constitution, and the dissolution chambers of Deputies and Councillors.
They also expressed their rejection of what they consider "a return to colonialism ' and foreign interference, based on the presence of two U.S. senators John McCain and Tunisia
Joseph Lieberman and haughty and contemptuous behavior of the new Ambassador of France in Tunis.
Recall that the Saturday before thousands of demonstrators had gathered outside the embassy of France to demand the departure of Boris Boillon because of his remarks
derogatory toward Tunisian journalists at a press conference. Since the French diplomat has made a public apology
Saturday to 20 hours of the Tunisian TV, but as seen the next day, Sunday bad feeling against him would remain of the protesters. This Monday, February 21, protesters
were still several hundred to show around 11 o'clock in the morning. According to many observers calling these events from the "collective January 14" multi-left parties, and these same observers note the absence of UGTT and party Ennahdha A third very important event took place also yesterday, Sunday, calling for the preservation of secularism, secular achievements Tunisia, and the separation between the religion and state, and this because of the murder of a Polish priest, Manouba, which was unanimously condemned by Tunisia and Tunisians unanimously.
In this climate of dissent that the
newspaper Tunis Hebdo published an article involving Ms. Alliot-Marie, whose title is the one following "As the blood flowed for Tunisians dignity, Ms. Alliot Marie met December 27 in Tabarka with Refik H. Kacem and seriation, and French media reported in this article ensuring that the Quai d'Orsay belied this information completely unfounded.

will present tomorrow, Tuesday in Tunis for

deploy more of their talents and European economic, diplomatic skills particularly sensitive
Tunisian both in regard to imprudent holiday trips and then
verbal Mrs Alliot Marie, and then offensive remarks by Ambassador Boris Boillon.
Besides Tunis did not like the firmness of Paris against Tunisians landed on the Italian island of Lampedusa, many of whom wish
come to France. But the Minister Interior Hortefeux, warned they would be treated as illegal immigrants, called to be returned to their countries.
So many misunderstandings that Christine Lagarde and Laurent Wauquiez have to be deleted by highlighting in this visit of friendship and working economic aid of France and the European Union, coated friendly attentions. France can take advantage of some
1250 subsidiaries of French companies in Tunisia, employing over 110,000 people, which represents a significant economic and social asset for Tunisia.
