European Alternatives has been engaging in and following the changes in the South of the Mediterranean since the beginning, and believes not only that the outcomes of those political movements will have important implications for people living inside Europe but most importantly that progressive political change in the twenty first century involves transnational and cross-border dimensions which must not be neglected.For that reason our engagement has been in a trans-Mediterranean dimension, attempting to make comparisons and connections \u2013 whilst not neglecting important differences and diversities \u2013 between protest movements and calls for political change in Europe and in North Africa and the MENA region. This was the subject of a debate in <a href=\"https:\/\/euroalter.com\/network\/events\/7223\/\">Paris on 9<sup>th<\/sup> Februar<\/a>y, which you can read about <a href=\"https:\/\/euroalter.com\/2013\/from-tahrir-square-to-puerta-del-sol-what-unites-arab-and-european-social-movements\/\">here<\/a>\u00a0and the transnational dimensions and implications for Europe of what is happening in Egypt are drawn out in this article marking the anniversary of the beginning of the revolution <a href=\"https:\/\/euroalter.com\/2013\/beyond-the-battle-of-alexandria\/\">here<\/a>.<br \/>\n<wbr \/><wbr \/><br \/>\nThe political assassination of Chokri Belaid in Tunisia earlier this month not only shocked us but also reminded us of the sacrifices made by less high-profile activists both inside Europe and more massively across the MENA region.
