Jacqueline Hénard, Co-Director, 'What Does Germany Think About Europe?'

Douglas Herbert speaks to Jacqueline Hénard, a writer and expert on Franco-German relations. Is the German public's impatience with cash-strapped neighbours like Greece killing their political leaders' creative vision? Just as the eurozone debt crisis offers Germany a chance to showcase its new leadership, many Germans resent the pressure and the responsibility.

paricipate to change

i believe that what the prince what to achieve in morocco is an ideal.Morocco indeed changed in the last 10 years.the fast change that the prince is dreaming about will bring choas in a country with high rate of illiteracy and poverty and corruption.If you have watching the king actionin the last 10 years , you will conclude that he has been fighting corruption very hard but the problem in arab countries corruption are a complex institution.poverty was the trigger to these protests.I wish if the prince mention the real reasons behind poverty in morocco. the king didn't increase the prices of commodities worldwide.it's good to have a freedom of speech, to elect your representatives.what we need to do as moroccan either in morocco or abroad is participate in fighting corruption,even by doing small things and empower the civic sense on us and on our familty.My advice to those who criticize morocco from there comfort zonen abroad is to find a way to participate in changing morocco, and changing the living conditions of moroccans.

prence mouly hicham has chosen exile instead of taking part in a corrupt system.we love him for taking side to the wide magiority of moroccans.i believe he is really disturbing the royal family by appearing on international channels.we wish him come back home and form a political party,surely things will turn up side down.i remember a long time a go during his interview on aljazera international, he expressed his fear that there will be an uprising in morocco.so,his prophesy is now taking place.
