French MP UMP.
The international community has, paradoxically, supported those who were held in Tunisia and Egypt against the people, but in Côte d'Ivoire seems to be the opposite ... Is not that amazing?
What strikes me is that the events that shook the world in recent times have shown that there was from the official French diplomacy a great distance from ground realities and aspirations peoples. How to explain that last December, elections have occurred in Egypt in appalling conditions, ignoble, unworthy, with pressures and violence ... Many countries have expressed their disapproval, but France was total silence. In Tunisia, where MPs have accused the Foreign Minister that there was a very powerful dictatorial political power, well, it was radio silence. However - this is where there is a double standard - the scandal of the time it was only Côte d'Ivoire: the official version was to say that the President declared elected by the institutions of his country, the Constitutional Council should be declared and proclaimed an independent commission composed of foreigners and 80% opposition to the outgoing president was to give legitimacy to his opponent! These double standards are absolutely inexplicable. That is why I find it to legitimate travel to the French Parliament in Côte d'Ivoire, because it is in honor of those members wanting to understand the ground realities and not stick to diplomacy is quite distant from the people. 
So you must go that French parliamentarians in Côte Ivory ... 
course! It is normal, given the remoteness of the official policy realities, as parliamentarians to go see firsthand what happens. They even respond to a wish expressed by President Sarkozy during his election campaign, which he said should not be entrusted only to the professional diplomats diplomacy and that elected officials should become more involved. Having halted the planned visit of French parliamentarians in Côte d'Ivoire is very shocking when freedom of expression has won a great victory in Tunisia and Egypt. How to understand that Meanwhile in France, we want to suppress freedom of an independent inquiry on the part of parliamentarians?
You mention the travel plans of French parliamentarians in Côte d'Ivoire: the Elysee and the Quai d'Orsay have clearly prohibits members from three ...
It's setbacks and to reverse the trend in Africa where we are heading towards greater freedom of expression. The advantage of such a journey of parliamentarians is that they came by their own means and not an aircraft funded by the French government or parliament. Indeed, when parliamentarians come official travel, they are frozen, they must use the language of wood and draw the conclusion that generally, after accumulating a wealth of information, is exactly that which they were porters at the start ... There he is parliamentary who had just take a look independent and as objective as possible, on the Ivorian situation.
Thus, even if it angers Nicolas Sarkozy and François Fillon, you tell your fellow members: Have a little courage, remember that you are elected representatives of the Nation ...
I tell all my respect to these parliamentarians. Chairman Obama recalled a very profound truth, which is that Africa requires that we respect the institutions of the country by not going into people's issues. So in this respect that the French members can go and talk to representatives of the Ivorian people, who is experiencing difficulties, to tell them their friendship, their consideration and that we trust them to set themselves their own problems .
In recent weeks, it was noted, particularly when questions of the government, that whenever Members questioned Francois Fillon or Michèle Alliot-Marie on Tunisia on Egypt, they jump like kids: "Côte d'Ivoire, Cote d'Ivoire ..." This seems an obsession ...
I will not criticize Michele Alliot-Marie, because you can not criticize someone who arrives foreign minister and who knows nothing about the field of foreign countries! The act of going as a tourist in a country like Tunisia absolutely do not open their eyes to the social reality of Tunisia ... So they are looking for reviews of Ivory Coast and I do not understand the attitude of the French government with respect to Côte d'Ivoire. This therefore justifies a visit of French parliamentarians in this country. There is a kind of personalization of this problem does presidential business. In other words, the French government has put itself in an impasse. That's what I said there are nearly two months: we do not interfere in internal issues of an independent country. "
These Didier Julia, UMP deputy from Seine-et-Marne and member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
"He remains faithful to his ideas," said the presentation Kernews: "Everyone recognizes that it has always had an accurate vision problems Africa and the Arab world. This week he discusses the news and vote for what he called "parliamentary diplomacy". Indeed, the Elysée and the Quai d'Orsay just prohibit UMP deputies to travel to Ivory Coast. However, Didier Julia believes that parliamentary diplomacy is playing its role. Comments that may still displease Michele Alliot-Marie ... Didier Julia was a guest Yannick Urrien Wednesday, February 16 at 8:10 am. "
