Michèle Jeanne Honorine Alliot-Marie the 64 year old French Minister of Foreign and European Affairs I do not feel I have committed any wrongdoing (March 6 2011)

Michèle Jeanne Honorine Alliot-Marie the 64 year old French Minister of Foreign and European Affairs has been forced to resign after criticism for sending teargas to Tunisia as civil unrest spread throughout the country and suggesting that France send the Tunisian regime riot police support to help restore order during the Tunisian Revolution. Revelations had also surfaced that she and her family had links to former President Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali and his regime via a business arrangement, and that she had visited Tunisia during the course of the uprising on a personal holiday that included flights on a private jet belonging to an associate of Ben Ali. Alliot-Marie has denied any wrong doing and blames the media for creating suspicion.
