Abou El-Enein: Arab Spring Aimed to Overthrow, Destroy National State

MP Mohamed Abou El-Enein, Egypt's Parliament Deputy Speaker and Honorary President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean stressed that the Arab spring has left major crises in the Arab countries, as it aimed to overthrow and destroy the national state, for the interests of other countries.

In his word before the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean session, hosted in Italy last week, Abou El-Enein praised the Arab peoples' will, which no one will be able to defeat, highlighting the victory of Egyptians' will against all conspiracies to overthrow the national state.

Moreover, Parliament Deputy Speaker added that some Arab countries are still suffering from interference as a result of the Arab spring.

In addition, the Honorary President of the  Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean explained that the first lesson learned from the Arab Spring is the exit of foreign mercenaries from all Arab territories, especially Libya, which is a direct neighbour with Egypt.

In this regard, the lawmaker hailed Libya, saying: "It is a great country, which enjoys valuable capabilities, as well as peaceful and respectable people."

Abou El-Enein also noted that the Libyan crisis took place due to mercenaries and the entry of ISIS, as well as foreign states that are seeking to seize the Libyan wealth and capabilities, saying:" This will never happen amid the Euro-Mediterranean Parliament's support."

Moreover, he affirmed the parliament's full support for the Libyan people, who presented a new lesson in their ability to free themselves from all external forces that interfered in their affairs.

Parliament Deputy Speaker continued that the second lesson learned from the Arab Spring is related to Syria's crisis, and the entry of ISIS from everywhere.

Concerning Lebanon, Abou El-Enein stressed that it needs a quick move from all international powers and governments to provide assistance to the Lebanese people, who are living in darkness and suffering food security.

Parliament Deputy Speaker also praised the Euro-Mediterranean Parliament's great efforts, saying: "This large parliamentary group has been able to define the problems that surround the Mediterranean countries; north, and south."

Moreover, he valued Sergio Piazzi, Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean Secretariat, who is always doing his best to present the whole entity in a perfect and prestigious form, thanks to his contacts and communications.

Abou El-Enein greeted the Arab Parliament Speaker, Mr. Adel Al-Asoumi, and all the representatives from the brotherly countries of UAE, Morocco, and Tunisia, expressing his happiness at the resumption of the Euro-Mediterranean Parliament's activities.
