...because Civil Society had no voice at all in the plenaries. And just
to rub salt into the wounds, Touré said afterwards that Civil Society
could have spoken. Easy to say afterwards - why not encourage it in the
session? Because some countries would have barked, as they did when the
EU Commissioner took the floor from the Cyprus bench. The barking was
not impressive.
Kind regards,
