SOUNDBITE (German), Robert GOEBBELS (S&amp;D, LU), The goal is to have real democratic elections in Tunisia. He is saying that there are around 500 International observers in Tunisia and in all provinces there are 5000 observers coming as well from different national NGO&rsquo;s or are send directly by political parties. He is saying that with an observing system there is no possibility to prepare votes in advance. As it looks here now, it is well organised and democratic; the only &lsquo;unknown&rsquo; figure is how many Tunisians will really participate in the elections.

SOUNDBITE (French), H&#233;l&#232;ne FLAUTRE (Greens/EFA, FR), (About the province of Sidi Bouzid) &ndash; It is a region like others which are extremely marginalised, where young academics are often unemployed and it is very interesting to observe how the younger people, how the population got engaged in this election event and use it as an opportunity to closer to their aspirations of a new way of dignity.
