VIPs who enjoyed the charms of Tunisia were VRP Ben Ali

There are many, these days, in France, waiting anxiously the results of the Tunisian Committee of Inquiry on Corruption, created recently in Tunis. Ben Ali as the years have allowed many French personalities - politicians, members of "friendship groups", journalists ... - To enjoy the charms of "country of Jasmine", without asking more questions than that on the real nature of this authoritarian regime.

The invitations, all expenses paid, came to each other to wave congress, held, coincidentally, on the seafront in luxury hotels located in enchanting places, such as the northern suburbs of Tunis, Hammamet or Monastir .... In exchange, these VIPs turned into VRP Ben Ali. Among the strongest supporters of the deposed dictator: MP Eric Raoult.

"The more they attacked Ben Ali, the more I wanted to defend," he said by way of justification. The weekly Jeune Afrique, or the Cahiers de l'Orient Antoine Sfeir, have helped to prevent them thoroughly to know the true face of the regime of Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali. The Tunisian opposition and human rights had beautiful strive to denounce the repression, France stubbornly singing the praises of Ben Ali.

Until the fall of the dictator, the Elysée and the Quai d'Orsay have analyzed the former French protectorate through a reading grid entirely inappropriate. In Tunisia, the quarrels of the French Foreign Minister, Michele Alliot-Marie, seem, these days, almost secondary. These "little arrangements between friends" had indeed become a part of everyday life of Tunisians.

As far as Tunisia is the image of France which has suffered from these collusion incredible.
