Too many, moreover, the interests at stake in the Mediterranean because Brussels may raise their voices against what threatens to become a real massacre. Even before the riots in Egypt, Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network (Emhtn) denounced in no uncertain terms the "closeness" of some EU states with the Tunisian regime.
