"EF"'s Reply to CoFoE's Question on What the EU would do with Russia in a De Gaulle's "Great Europe"

*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/- When PanEuropean, 47 Member States' strong, CoE's Assembly, Lifted Sanctions against Russia on 2019, (Rectifying a Blunder due to 2014 Anti-European Interferences, even with Deadly "Snipers" Killing Both Policemen and Demonstrators at Maidan SQ, provoking the Fall of a Peace Deal, including Amnesty, National Unity Government, and New Elections, Agreed by All parties, under France/Germany/Poland's auspices), the News made Frontpage Headlines at "New York Times"...
Nowadays, at EU's "Conference on the Future of Europe" (CoFoE), a Question was raised, by a mainstream Member at its Web Platform, on "Eurofora"'s Publication, there, about the Topical character of De Gaulle's "Great Europe" with Russia as a Partner, (See: https://futureu.europa.eu/processes/EUInTheWorld/f/16/proposals/169590, etc, i.e. the Latest among Our 5 Ideas proposed there). It concerns, mainly, the Concrete Ways through which this might be realized, and Here is our Answer :
---------------------------------------------------------------

The EU is too weak to push its borders to the Ural Mountains, even with the Eastern expansion of NATO.
Luckily, some former republics of the USSR are already EU members. Over time, more could join. Ukraine, Georgia, Kaliningrad, etc.?
But maybe it is easier to invite first Russians under 25 years of age to visit the EU without visas.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Juha Rannisto,
- Attempts for an "Eastern Expansion of NATO" would Mean return Back to the "Cold War", even "Hot" WAR, and threaten to provoke Europe's Destruction !
- For "some (more) former Republics of the USSR" to "Join" the "EU", (as Ukraine and/or Georgia, etc) that might be, perhaps, Possible, (even if Ukraine faces so big Problems after the Mess provoked by the Foreign Interventions against pro-Russian Ukranians, that it has become practicaly doubtful). At any case, it's Not the Essential point at all ...
- "Young Russians" (and, more widely : Civil Society) "Invited to Visit the EU", (f.ex. "withOut Visas", etc), would certainly be Positive and Useful, (naturaly Carefuly, with Reciprocity, interesting Projects, etc). But largely InSufficient, and too Slow (i.e. Middle/Long Term)...
=> Obviously, the Main Point is direct Big Projects, of common interest, between the EU and Russia, able to Boost Economic Development, High-Tech Innovations, Cultural and Educational Cooperation, as well as Strengthening all the European People's feeling and conscience of a Joint History, Interests, Values, and Future, in a way Stimulating Ambitious Horizons for PanEuropa in the World !
Among many and various Mega-Projects, could be Included, f.ex. :
* A Trans-Continental TTGV (i.e. + 600 km/h) Link, from Madrid to Vladivostok, (that China would certainly be Glad to co-Fund). It would also serve as Backbone to several Vertical TGV Corridors, all along the way. As well as Ready for Possible Future Extensions towards Africa and/or America, as the Center of a Global Network at the Horizon, (in the direction of Cape Town, from one side, and of Port Williams/Cape Horn, at the other).
* Create an autonomous, Manned, ReUsable SpaceCraft, to come and go into Orbital Earth, Moon, March, etc. Space Stations and/or Bases, as well as order to ReLaunch and Develop Human Space Flight, and Space Exploration. (A relevant Joint ESA-RosoCosmos Project exists since 2.000)...
* Establish a Large PanEuropean+ "Free Trade" Area, (the Greatest in the World) from Portugal to Vladivostok, (as Merkel, Austrians, a.o. had proposed on 2013, in order to Boost Commerce all accross EU and Russia, Lifting Contradictions of the Past, as those which had been felt in Ukrania's and/or Armenia's cases, etc).
* Remind, Realize and Develop further the main common Culture and History of the PanEuropean area, on Key matters, Shared by Both EU and Russia, is Obviously a Prime Quality "Must" :
* Invent a Joint new Hypersonic AirPlane, successor of "Concorde" and "Typolev", for Long, mainly Trans-Continental Flights of Civilian People, (that Europeans were the Only to dispose in the Globe, until a not yet fully elucidated Deadly sabotage of Cocorde, apparently by an USA Airplane, out of Paris on 2.000). It seems that Technical Plans for that, Already exist, somewhere around AF and/or BA, as well as in Russia, waiting Political Decisions, Updates, and Finalisation.
* On the Institutional front, inter alia, the "Trilateral" (France - Germany - Russia) Top Summits, inaugurated since 1998 CoE's PanEuropean Summit in Strasbourg, by Chirac, Kohl, Yeltsin, and continued by Schroeder, Merkel, Sarkozy, Putin, Medvedev, etc, until about 2011+. (Some June 2021 difficulties for all 27 EU Member States to formaly agree for an official meeting with Russia, only showed that the Solution is at the Top, precisely as it was Since the Beginning)...
* To Develop a Popular Consience on "Great Europe"s PanEuropean Dimension Values, History and Potential, a Cultural and Historic approach is also of Vital Importance : This obviously Includes mainly Christianism, but Tolerant to other Religions, landmark Litterature (Novels, Poetry, etc), Music and Theater, Philosophy and Science, Art and Cinema, etc., as well as Tsar Peter's famous "Quest towards the West", (dear to Vladimir Putin, himself a Petrograd native, and Speaking Deutsch), the French Architects' superb Buildings at Petrograd, the Renaissance Philosophers supported by Emperor Catherine, but Also the Succesfull "Holly Alliance" between Russia and Poland, Lithuania, Germans, Venice, French, Vatican, etc. for Liberation from Military Invasion/Occupation of Europe by the Ottoman-Turks, or the Victorious Navarino naval battle of French, Russian, and Brittish against Turks in Greece on 1828, (overshadowed by another Victory of a German Officer with Russian Troops against Ottoman Empire Turkish Invadors/Occupators near Constantinople, that had enthousiasted Marx), added to Russia's participation in the succesful Defense of Wien, followed by the Liberation of Budapest and All Hungary, etc., (without forgetting the paradox of Russia controling even ...Alaska and battling inside Oregon, against ... Mexicans, when USA had Not Yet Started to Develop its forces there), up to the Victory against NAZism at Stalingrad/Volgograd and the Liberation of Eastern Europe (1941-1945); the Conquest of Space (from Gagarin to Soyuz, etc); the Struggle against Deadly Islamist Terrorism cowardly killing Civilian People, as throughout the EU from 2015-2016+, even School-Children in Russia (incl. Chechnya, 1999-2014+) until Syria also recently, (etc).
* Concerning the most Vital and Topical Issue Nowadays : that of the Deadly or Incapacitating Virus C0VID-19, during the Current Limitation of Most Western Countries in Only a Few, Controversial Fake-"Vaccines", (in Fact "Novel Tools" affecting the Human Genome, by Suppressing a Protein via "mRNA": Turko-USA Pfizer + Moderna, or via "Virus' vector": UK's Astrozeneca [with Chimpadji cells] + USA's Janssen), the present and future MisTrust by Many People is due to their Exceptional Precariousness (Needing 3 or 4 Shots in only One Year !), InEfficacy (Pseudo-"Vaccinated" Individuals can be Infected, and even Infect Others in the Society, Contrary to any Real Vaccine... ), Risky "Side Effects" (f.ex. may Kill via Allergy or Heart, even Young + Healthy People, and "mRNA" Fake-"Vaccine" has been Suspended for that, as "Astrozeneca" for Thrombosis, etc), Dangerous in case of Error or Abuse (f.ex. illtreating complex Proteins might have "Catastrophic" Effects [BBC], as such "Individualizable" Gene Therapy Tools [mRNA-BioNTech 2019], Marked under the Skin [MIT 2019], may Manipulate the Human Genome, with UnKnown Results, including perhaps Cancer, etc), Bypassed by many "Variants" of the Virus, (particularly those affecting its "Spike", as f.ex. the latest variant "Omicron", etc).
=> On the Contrary, "Classic" Technology Vaccines, Already Tested during 2 Centuries, as invented by Western European scientist Louis Pasteur (Strasbourg), and which constitute, even Now, the absolute Majority of finalized Projects having Reached a 3rd (Last) Phase of Tests, according to the WHO, including an Important Project concluding Nowadays in Russia, are Not so Precarious, might have Less Side-Effects, Protect Recipients and/or their Contacts from Infections or Transmissions, do Not Manipulate Human Genome, and might Not be so Affected by Virus' Variants, (since they do Not Focus only on its "Spike", But use an Entire Virus, previously "Weakened"). So that a relevant EU - Russia scientific Cooperation might, eventualy, Succeed to Invent a Good and Real Vaccine asap !
+ In Addition, Scientific Research and/or Cure by "Convalescent Plasma" Therapy (i.e. using AntiBodies Naturaly created by the Human Immunity System of ex-Patients who Recovered succesfuly, and Donated plasma - Contrary to "Monocloal AntiBodies", artificially Fabricated by Animal-Human "Chimeras" using Mouses, etc, and Too Expensive), might find Better Perspectives through a relevant EU - Russia Cooperation in the foreseable Future.
Indeed, China First spotted the Potential of that approach, (But soon run out of Test possibilities, after its Succesful Fight against the Virus left so Few Infections in the Country, that Foreign Trials there had to Stop, while even Chinese Trials on COVID had to Search Participants in Other Continents)... Former POTUS Trump's Health Secretary, Alex Azar, had afterwards Pointed at Convalescent Plasma as having a "Breakthrough" Potential, (even if its Scarcity Needed further Innovative Solutions in order to Hopefuly Treat all the People, some of which were Already Visible at the Horizon). But, Later-on, after "Socialist" Biden's Controversial Election, started Some Ambivalent and/or Partialy Negative Estimations, claiming about "Insufficient" Yet Studies and/or some alleged Shady Limits on the matter, (Often in curiously Doubtful Format [f.ex.: "16 Trials on 16.006 Patients"..., or "= Effects if taken in 3 Days after Infection, But Not if taken more than a Week Later" (sic !)], and/or by, comparatively, Small Groups [f.ex. from Only 21 out of 194 WHO Member Countries], composed mainly by "Experts" either InCompetent on Such Issues, or obviously Linked with an Establishment having notorious Interests into Exploiting, on the Contrary, Expensive and/or Human Genome Manipulating, Artificial Alternatives, Animal-Human "Chimeras", etc, Instead of Natural Donations])...
=> However, the Fact that EU has been Twice at the "Epicenter" of the Pandemic, this time Together with Russia, Both having had Record-High Numbers of Infected People, obviously Facilitates, more than elsewhere, the Collection of Convalescent Plasma Donations, in order to try to Save Human Lives, with, comparatively, Lower Cost and Abundant Natural Means. The Rest is a matter for Solidarity, Cooperation, Science, Invention, Technology, and Orgaisation,where the "Great Europe" could make a Good and Big Demonstration of its Potential, for the Benefit also of the whole World, particulaly in terms of Scientific Breakthroughs for Human Health !
-------------------------
* At any case, last, but not least, by a Timely "Coincidence", these same Days, it was a Good Surprize to see that, in EU Parliament's recent landmark Ceremony in the Memory of Historic former President of France, Valery Giscard d'Estaign (1926-2020), the Musician chosen in order to play a wonderful piece of Brahms, at the Conclusion of that exceptional Franco-German and European Event in Strasbourg, was a Young Pianist, living in France, but of ...Russian origin : Alexandre Cantorow, (Winner of a Prize awarded at an important Tchaïkovski festival in Moscow)... A European Franco-Russian, by his Mother and Father, (with whom he has worked and played Together Many famous Musical artworks).

VGE EUParliament Event Topical on EUFuture for Inviting EF, Portugal President v. Forced "Vaccine" +









+ De Gaule's "Great Europe", including Russia, should be ReVived !
*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/- As CoFoE's 4rth Panel of Citizens, on "EU in the World" is unfolding these Days for a 2nd Time (26-28/11/2021), "Eurofora" firmly believes that Recent Developments (f.ex. azound Belarus, Ukraine, France and Germany, EU and USA,, etc.) call for a Change, by Returning Back to the Fundamentals :
Russia of Christianism and Cyrilic Alphabet, Tolstoi, Dostoyevski, Poushkin, Majakovski, Soshtakovich, Chaikovsky, Eisenstein, Leningrad/Saint Petersburg, Stalingrad/Volgograd, Kalina maya, Bolshoi, Russian Sports and Chess, Laika, Gagarin, Andrei Tarkovsky, Soyouz, (etc), are part of Our European History, Identity, Continent, and Future.
Initialy called "the Road from Greeks to the Skandinavians", Russia joined Poland, Lithuania, Germans, Venice, the Vatican and Others in a succesful "Holly Alliance" to Free Europe from the Turkish Ottoman Invasion/Occupation, Fought Together with France and England at Navarino Victory (1828), Won against NAZIsm in Eastern Europe, became integral part of De Gaulle's "Great Europe", served "Detente" after Helsinki Summit, became CoE's Member during Mitterand, formed the "Trilateral" : "France-Germany-Russia" with Chirac-Kohl-Yeltsin etc. since 1998, created "Mir" (Peace) Space Station (+prepares now "ROSS"), Helped Syria face ISIL's a.o. Islamist Terrorists cowardly Killing Civilians, (etc).
If the EU kept Friendly Links with Russia, Europe's PIB Growth would be Boosted, ESA would have a SpaceCraft (that even USA hasN't), Europeans would be since the 2000s already on Mars and Exploring Space, a TTGV could Link Madrid/Paris/Berlin/Varsaw/Moscow to Vladivostok/Beizing/Shanghai, Great Europe would Control its Neighborhood, and might have Jointly Invented Cure + Vaccine against the Deadly Virus, (etc).
=> But a 2014 Foreign Intervention in Ukraine, Snipers killing a Peace Deal, Civil War, etc.,have, meanwhile, Divided Europe...
It's Time for this to Stop !

_________________________________________
"Eurofora" published 3 Projects at EU's platform for Europe's Future
*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/- Until Now, in Total, "Eurofora" has proposed 3 different concrete Ideas, Published at the Web Platfom of EU's Conference on Europe's Future:
2 on Citizens' participation in Democratic Decision-Making, and 1+ on Digital Sovereignity + Popular "Green" Technologies.
They are Added to our Press Coverage for relevant Citizens' Panels and/or Plenaries, (and Already attracted about 900 Registered "Followers" each).

Macron: New Model with Big Decisions +Historic Investments at EU Presidency 2022: Believe in France!

*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/- Embattled French President Emmanuel Macron, bravely seized the opportunity of another Crucial Juncture in the Hard Fight against the Deadly Pandemic Virus, where Europe is anew becoming the World's Epicenter at the End of 2021, as at the Beginning of 2020, in order to Highlight the Forthcoming EU Chairmanship by Paris from January 2022, notoriously expected right in the Middle of a Global Health Crisis, but also at the Conclusion of EU's landmark Conference on Europe's Future, (2021-2022).
Apparently stimulated by the exceptional Challenge, he launched a vibrant Call to "- Believe in France !", Even if its People still has to Choose Leaders in Crucial Presidential and Parliamentary Elections, between April and June 2022, where, in Addition to an Extended Rightist Competition, with Frontrunner Marine Le Pen, aside Rocketing Outsider TV-Journalist Zemour, it's also Mainstream, Center-Right's Frontrunner Xavier Bertrand, former Long-Time Minister and Recently Re-Elected Lille Region President, (between Brussels and Paris), aside experienced EU Heavyweight Michel Barnier, Paris Region's Chief Valery Pecresse, etc., from Sarkozy's "Republican" Party, who might gather a Large Number of Voters, if they stay United, according to the Latest Polls.
- Firmly Focused on his own Mission, Macron Vowed to reach asap a "New Model of Growth", made by "Big Decisions" and "Historic Investments", Both "in France and in Europe", where the Public Institutions have to play an Important Role, since "the Market Alone is Not Sufficient", requiring "a Strong Public Intervention", as he stressed from the outset.
- "In a Context of Clash between USA, China, Russia, Continental SuperPowers, added to a DeStabilisation of Many Areas of the World, and what is at Stake", "it's Only a Voluntary European entente, with Solidarity, which Can Bring to Our European Countries a Backing and FirePower", the French President observed. "France will Not be Strong Alone", while "it's enough to Open the Eyes in order to realize how Our (EU) Interests Meet and Fit to eachother", he underlined.
- In fact, "we Prepare ourselves to Face the Challenges of the Future", "because we are living a Profound Revolution" nowadays :
- "This Virus has Blocked the entire World", and "we realized our Dependance from Foreigners, Even for Basic Products, such as Masks, Paracetamol, and others", while "we found that Innovation could Change everything, sometimes with an UnPrecedented Speed, as on Vaccines", he reminded. +But, "at the Same Time, the Big Issues dating from Before this Crisis, didN't Disappear : Planet's protection, Demographic Challenge, Ageing, growing InEqualities", etc...
=> "That's why", f.ex., "in order to Invest in 10 sectors of the Future, as the DeCarbonisation of Industry, the Electric Car, the Airplane with Zero CO2", or "Culture, Health, Space, Maritime" areas, etc., as well as "to Educate and Train our Youth in Jobs of the Future", "Secure ...the Production of Essential Components and Technologies, as Semi-Conductors, Robotics, or Cyber", with "a Clear Aim : The Products and Technologies which will forge the Economy, Jobs, and Lives of 2030, should Not come Only from USA or Asia, But Also from France and (all) Europe", inter alia, "we Launched the Plan France 2030, with 30 Billions € over 5 Years", he Started to enumerate.
- "Some thought that it was an Inacheivable dream", But "I Believe the Opposite : It depends from a Feasible Ambition, Lucid Voluntarism, if we continue, Nowadays, towards Reforms, Changes, and Investments", Macron stressed. - "Yes, ...we Have the Means to Strengthen our Position of Great Power in Education, Industry, Agriculture. To Innovate, Create, Produce, while keeping our Climate and BioDiversity targets, If we Invest, Lift the Brakes against Action, the UseLess Complications and Corporatisms".
+ As for "working to Build our Energy Independence", for the 1st Time since Decades, we are going to Launch the consruction of Nuclear Reactors", announced Macron, in a notorious Context of Energy Prices' "Boom", (See, f.ex., : ..., etc), and practicaly Adopting ...Xavier Bertrand's original Proposal, (made just Yesterday, in the 1st Debate between "Republican" Candidates : Comp. Supra), as if they might Converge, perhaps, somehow... Concerning the EU, meanwhile, France had Notoriously Agreed, in the Past, to Help Italy Develop Nuclear Energy, (during a Chirac - Berlusconi Summit at Elysée Palace : See "Eurofora"s NewsReport from the spot, then), But this was Blocked, Later-on, by an Opposed Political Swift in Rome and other EU Countries.
- "It's in this Context ... that our Country will assume, in 2 Months, the duty to Chair the European Union" (1 - 6/2022), whose "Orientations are Not Far Away, Neither Fainting" : On the Contrary, they are even the Backbone of Our Lives, and of the Years To Come !", he highlighted.
- F.ex., inter alia, "withOut the EU we wouldN't have, so Fast, at our Disposal, a Vaccine", Macron claimed, (Apparently pointing at a Commercial Acquisition of Foreign Fake-"Vaccines", as Real Europeans obviously consider Scandalous the UnExpected Fact that Europe did Not Create, yet, Any Vaccine or Cure, Abandoning everthing to the USA, China, Russia, the Turks, etc, Contrary to Macron himself's Initial Dream for Europe to Invent a real "Antidote" against that Deadly Virus : See ..., etc)....
+ Indeed, "Our (EU) Partners are Not Strangers : In this Continent, that Fate gave us, they are Facing the Same Upheavals, the Same Tornados, as those that We meet. That's why, it's With Them that we Shall Strive, during the Next Months, to Better Face our Challenges", the French President Vowed, citting, in particular :
- F.ex., inter alia, "to Better Protect our External Borders together".
- "To continue Building with Africa a relation of Peace, Stability and Growth, together".
- "To better Regulate the Digital Giants, (as USA's "Google", etc), together".
- "To build a credible Strategy of Reducing our CO2 Emmissions, in a way compatible with Industrial and Technologic Sovereignity, together".
(+Etc.)
=> "This New Model of Investment and Growth, to which I Believe for France and (all) the EU, I will Defend it, on your behalf, From next January (2022), by Taking over the EU Presidency (1-6/2022)", Macron promised.

EU Rapporteur on Enlargment Strategy, maistream German MEP Elmar Brok, speaking to "EuroFora", welcomed the proposal made earlier this week by French President Nicolas Sarkozy for the EU to"start Now Talks with Turkey to create a common Economic and Security area", instead of full Accession, at a period when Ankara looks more and more unfit and/or unwilling to respect EU conditions.
- "For Europe to have strong Political will, it must stop dilutiing itself in an endless Enlargement. It must have borders...Diversities enrich, on the condition that they don't undermine European Cohesion, and don't weaken EU Unity", Sarkozy stressed.
- "Countries like Turkey share a part of common destiny with Europe, with which they have a vocation to build a Privileged Relation, to be closely associated, but not to become Member of the EU" : "Noone respects his friends by telling them lies. Noone respects his friends by making them promises that will be never kept", he added.
That's why "we'd better start, from now, negotiating with Turkey to create a common Economic and Security area", Sarkozy proposed.
Significantly, the French President was repeatedly and largely applauded by EU citizens, 3 times, when he made the Turkey point, (strategically placed between Europe's "Political Will" and its cultural heritage, historically open to mutually enriching dialogue with all the World, but never diluted).
- "We could propose such a great ambition also to Russia, which must not be percieved as an Adversary of Europe, but as a Partner. Thus, we'd create a wide area, of more than 800 Million inhabitants, sharing the same Security, the same Prosperity", he concluded.

Sarkozy's move was anounced at the eve of a Franco-German Top meeting with Chancellor Angie Merkel in Berlin on Sunday, to jointly launch the EU Elections campain, after an EU Summit at nearby Prague, to launch a new kind of relations, called "Eastern Partnership", with neighboring countries such as Urkaine, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaidjan, etc, (to which Russia, reportedly, is not - and does not want to be - included).
As for Ukraine, which has already expressed her wish to join the EU in future, "Kiev will have a special place, and a very important role to play", replied earlier this week in Strasbourg, to an "EuroFora" question EU Chairman in office , Czech vice-Prime Minister Alexander Vodra.
- "This direction is more Realistic for Turkey than Accession negotiations", reacted immediately EU Parliament's Rapporteur for Enlargment Strategy, mainstream German MEP Elmar Brok, commenting Sarkozy's idea for "EuroFora"
Particularly "as far as it concerns the respect of EU Rules by both sides", he added, hinting at Turkey's now obvious inability and/or unwillingness to abide with EU Acquis, EU Commitments (fex. on Cyprus, etc), and European Democracy/Human Rights rules. (Comp. infra).
Brok added that, in his view, a similar proposal might be made also to Ukraine and other neighbouring Countries, regardless if they have, or not, a "European vocation". This would not necessarily mean that there couldn't be any accession prospects at all." for all the countries that might be included in this area, according to Brok. But it's preferable, particularly for Turkey, "because it's a more Realistic approach than full Membership".
On this point, Sarkozy's proposal, (which he'll share with German Chancellor Merkel), seems more crystal-clear.

- "Turkey does not fullfil EU Criteria, and will never fullfil EU Criteria" on Human Rights, Democracy and Rule of Law. "Some have been lying to Ankara, but we must tell the Truth, and have honest and close relations with her", said meanwhile to "EuroFora" on the same issue also the President of EU Parliament's largest Group of MEPs (ChristianDemocrats/EPP), Joseph Daul.

"Hot" Debate at EU Parliament reveals CHANGE of mood towards "Suspension" of EU - Tukey talks.
------------------------------
Earlier this week, many MEPs, and even some of those who were previously in favor of Turkey's controversial EU bid, strongly criticized the persistance and even aggravation of serious Human Rights violations in the country, that ECHR continues to "unanimously" condemn ":
- "After winning a big victory in the latest Local Elections, the pro-Kurdish party DTP almost doubled its Elected Mayors from 52 to 98", but afterwards "more than 400 politicians were thrown to Prison and prosecuted" by the Turkish Authorities, denounced on behalf of the ChristianDemocrat/EPP Group, Belgian MEP Frieda Brepoels.
At the same time, "more than 1.500 Children are closed in Turkish Prisons", she added. "What will the EU Commission do" against these facts ?
- "Turkey appears to be at greater Distance away from Copenhagen Criteria after 4 Years of accession Negotiations, than when they started !", denounced on behalf of the Liberal Group, German MEP Alexander Lambsdorf.
"On the central issue of Press Freedom, Critical Journalists face obstacles for their accreditation, others are prosecuted, condemned, fined and/or jailed, Media blocked or closed", he denounced.
- "EU Made 2 grave Mistakes with Turkey : To start accession negotiations, and to continue them", despite everything, criticized Dutch MEP Bastian Belder, on behalf of the Ind/Dem group.
