We have seen very radical parties come to power in Tunisia after [the “Arab Spring” uprising]. That’s one of the lessons of what they call this ‘Arab Spring’. This also created the possibility of a large middle class in Tunisia, all of which helped Tunisia come through the turmoil of 2011 more smoothly than others. I don’t believe in this word called the Arab Spring. In most of the Arab world, there was so much turmoil, where was this spring?
