El director de la ODFS, Ribal Al-Assad, asisti\u00f3 recientemente a la Conferencia Pol\u00edtica Mundial 2015 en Montreux (Suiza), que fue inaugurada por Didier Burkhalter, Consejero Federal, Jefe del Departamento Federal de Asuntos Exteriores de Suiza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Conferencia de Pol\u00edtica Mundial fue fundada por Thierry de Montbrial en 2008 y es una organizaci\u00f3n independiente cuyo objetivo es contribuir a mejorar todos los aspectos de la gobernanza, con vistas a promover un mundo m\u00e1s abierto, m\u00e1s pr\u00f3spero, m\u00e1s justo y m\u00e1s respetuoso con la diversidad de los Estados y las naciones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Su reuni\u00f3n anual, de escala humana, congrega a personalidades de los cinco continentes -dirigentes pol\u00edticos y empresariales, representantes de la sociedad civil, acad\u00e9micos y periodistas- en un clima de confianza y esp\u00edritu de tolerancia para examinar, debatir y sugerir soluciones constructivas a los grandes retos regionales e internacionales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El discurso de Ribal vers\u00f3 sobre el extremismo isl\u00e1mico y las crisis actuales en Siria y Oriente Medio. Tras su intervenci\u00f3n, Ribal hizo la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Me gustar\u00eda expresar mi pesar por el hecho de que Su Excelencia el Ministro de Asuntos Exteriores qatar\u00ed no estuviera en la sala para la sesi\u00f3n final, ya que me hubiera gustado que escuchara lo que tengo que decir, \u00a1pero aparentemente se niega a estar en la misma sala que yo! \u00a1Y se trata del m\u00e1s alto diplom\u00e1tico de Qatar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y ello a pesar de que fui exiliado de mi pa\u00eds cuando era ni\u00f1o y he sido un cr\u00edtico declarado del r\u00e9gimen durante toda mi vida adulta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me temo que este tipo de estrechez de miras debe poner en duda las afirmaciones de Qatar de estar comprometido con la democracia en Siria y con el di\u00e1logo inclusivo en lugar de la divisi\u00f3n y el conflicto sectarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Es cierto que he sido cr\u00edtico con Qatar precisamente por su apoyo a grupos extremistas como Al Nusra, los Hermanos Musulmanes y otros en mi pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creo que demuestra que no les interesa en absoluto la democracia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Por el contrario, temen un efecto domin\u00f3 que lleve la democracia a Qatar, por lo que prefieren atizar el conflicto sectario en Siria y en la regi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\u00ed que, aunque lamento la ausencia de Su Excelencia, son cosas que hay que decir, y espero que todos los verdaderos pluralistas y dem\u00f3cratas est\u00e9n de acuerdo\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
