"Why not here interested? So you have controlled the population?" Asked a senior Spanish to a charge Syria. "More had controlled the Ben Ali and Mubark" he said. For now, the control exercised by the Assad regime appears more effective than its Syrian and Egyptian counterparts, ousted by popular uprisings.
Only a few dozen protesters have gathered outside the Great Umayyad Mosque in response to the appeal of Ira Day, organized through social networks. "Free Syria!" Shouted several young men waving Syrian flags. A team of TVE, which coincidentally came across the protest, made another unusual images in this country, the more airtight the Middle East, before he was invited plainclothes policemen to leave with a forcefulness that brooked no argument.
A dragging and pushing the square was cleared in a few minutes, when the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Trinidad Jiménez, concluded his tour of the mosque and no trace of the event. From Cairo, where he preached the Spanish transition model and praised the democratic changes, the minister met with the heads of the republic hereditary official Spanish documents euphemistically described as "hyper." After being received for half an hour by President Bashar al-Assad, appeared at a press conference with Foreign Minister Walid Muallem at.
"The process of change in the Arab world is tremendously exciting and opens up great opportunities," said Jimenez. Although Spain is supporting these reforms, is aware that "in each country the rhythms are different, given their circumstances," he pointed out. In Syria, the pace of change is almost imperceptible, if it has started.
The Syrian regime recently announced a plan for youth employment and freed some political prisoners, as the octogenarian Haizam to Maleh. "Since 1991 we are implementing a plan of reform and economic opening and throughout this year will be announced steps to political reform," said Muallem.

Referring to human rights, the Minister has assured that whenever possible all the issues "without exception" to the Syrian authorities. "We've done it before and will in the future," he insisted. After his meetings in Damascus, Jimenez has been more skeptical than ever about the no-fly zone the previous day had urged the UN to prevent planes and helicopters Gaddafi use against its population.
"Many are afraid of the consequences that this may have for the future and even call into question its effectiveness in stopping the violence," he acknowledged. And he was not referring to Syria, which barely conceals his opposition, but members of the European Union, like Germany, which has avoided mentioning.
