Editorial

Arab
Spring two years on, time for a regional
progressive alliance

On
the eve of the second anniversary of the Arab
Spring, the message of our progressive
conference could not be more significant: it is
time to put hope into action.
Last weekend in
Cairo saw the coming together of 200 progressive
European and Arab representatives to discuss the
recent developments in Egypt and across the
region. Our aim is clear and simple. We need to
remind ourselves, our citizens, and the media,
of the initial goals of the Arab Spring.
Two
years ago, the Arab Spring burst into bloom in
Tunisia and then across the region. This was a
new flowering of hope for open and democratic
societies and this hope was nourished by a
belief in universal and fundamental principles.
The ideal of democratic rights and social
justice enriching the region captured the
imagination of the world. Two years later we are
forced to think hard and remind ourselves of
these principles.
