Hungary welcomes the holding of the first free and transparent elections in Tunisia. Through the high turnout serving the benefit of the process of democratisation, the Tunisian people again demonstrated their willingness and ability to shape their own future in a peaceful way.

The efforts of the interim government to conduct the elections for the Constitutional Assembly in a fair and peaceful manner deserve appreciation. The path Tunisia has accomplished so far is exemplary among the countries undergoing a democratic transition.

The Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is confident that the results of the elections will further facilitate the emergence of a strong and democratic leadership that can contribute to the economic renewal of Tunisia.
