"Although they just relate to the circumstances, the words in this motion for a resolution that refer to ‘solidarity with the Egyptian people’, that welcome their ‘courage and determination, especially that of the younger generations’, whilst firmly supporting ‘their legitimate democratic aspirations’ are positive. The majority of the European Parliament, which until now pointed to Egypt as an example of stability in the region, is now obliged to applaud the actions of the Egyptians aimed at breaking from this ‘stability’. The demonstrations by Egyptians that led to Hosni Mubarak’s resignation are an example of the immense possibilities for democratic victories by groups alienated by capitalism, and by the forces and regimes that serve it. The Egyptian people have demonstrated with great tenacity and combative unity that it is possible to achieve resignations, and move forward towards winning political and democratic freedoms, even in a country profoundly dominated by imperialist interests, particularly those of the United States, Israel and the United Kingdom. Until it is finally overthrown, imperialism will never admit defeat or give up. Despite their fine words, the forces that defend their interests in Parliament are counterattacking, assuming the right to interfere and, hypocritically, wanting to give lessons on democracy through their political ‘parties and foundations’."@en1
