European Commission president: Egypt on its way to democracy, freedom | Al-Masry Al-Youm: Today's News from Egypt: "Egypt is now on the road to democracy, freedom and openness, said president of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso on Thursday. He noted, however, that the Egyptian revolution is not over and that the road to democracy is littered with obstacles.
'The spirit that fueled the revolution is capable of completing it,” Barroso said in a speech delivered at the Cairo Opera House entitled “Partners in Freedom: the EU response to the Arab Spring”.
The speech was attended by a number of Egyptian ministers and ambassadors.
At the start of his speech, Barroso lamented the deaths of so many young people during the 25 January revolution. He pointed out that Europe is working toward a society free of corruption, and that such an outcome can be possible someday in Egypt as well."
