Spain and the EU preparing for possible evacuation of European citizens from Tunisia

Spain and the EU preparing for possible evacuation of European citizens from Tunisia: "Spain and the European Union are coordinating a plan for the ‘eventual’ evacuation of Tunisia.

There are some 1,600 Spaniards living in the country, and some 200 tourists in addition.

Spanish Foreign Minister, Trinidad Jiménez, commented that it for now it was better to avoid any sort of predictions on the situation.
Speaking in Moscow where she is on an official visit, Jiménez said that Spain and Europe were planning flights to take European citizens out of the country, saying that if an evacuation proves necessary they are prepared. She made a call for normality to be restored in Tunisia, to create the conditions for a democratic solution.

Some Spanish tourists have been complaining. El Mundo reports that one said ‘The Government has done nothing to get us out of here’. 118 Spaniards returned home in the early hours of Sunday, after their tour operators Iberojet and Solplan, chartered a plane.
