Trinidad Jimenez admits that now there is no way to oust Qaddafi

Madrid's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Trinidad Jimenez, acknowledged Friday that the "opposition" to the regime of Muammar Gaddafi will not have "easy" to get establish a democratic state they want and has acknowledged that at present "There is no possible way" to prevent the dictator remains at the forefront of the country.

"There is now no possible way to prevent further there," said the minister in an interview on Onda Cero, stressing that however you are looking for the international coalition that is implementing the UN resolution is "to prevent further bombing his own people. " As for the rebels to the regime, the minister, who has met with "some of them," he preferred being termed the "opposition" because "they joined the opposition to Gaddafi." However, he admitted that "it is a rather heterogeneous group" that attaches to "the need for a twist to his country" with a view to the establishment of the rule of law.

But, he added Jiménez, unlike in Egypt and Tunisia, but had one-party regimes and a "tight control", "did have a well-established state structure that will be adapting." In Libya, has resulted, "will be a bit more complicated but there is a sufficient basis to work from (...) national reconciliation" to build "a new state." "It will not be easy," insisted the head of Spanish diplomacy, ensuring that the Libyans, who are those who "decide how to reconcile the country", "will have the full support of the international community." As for the military operations which started last Saturday by a "coalition of the willing", including Spain, the Minister explained that he step as NATO, which now assume the command of the offense, "is always a slower process than it urged the UN resolution.

" In addition, the formation of a coalition of the willing allowed the incorporation of other countries, including Arab countries, "which would give greater legitimacy," he pointed out. From now on, NATO will have "the military operational commander" and the coalition of countries will have "a policy coordination not only at present but to think a bit about the political consequences could be the establishment" of the cease fire.

In this sense, Jones recalled that in addition to allowing the imposition of a no-fly zone over Libya, the UN resolution 1973 "contemplates using other means to avoid having an attack by Gaddafi to his own people."
