Liberty, health, safety,

Ways of understanding


Finding a balance between freedom and security is an old story. Totalitarian and free countries do not have a common vision on this, except of course in cases of extreme necessity, such as major natural or other disasters, or even NBC.

Some nations, whose calculating leaders have lost faith, and perhaps the compass or even the professionalism that came out of the Cold War, are confining themselves.

There is, however, progress on the part of some heads of state, who are listening and changing their way of thinking, especially when full powers are put in place? However, these powers seem to me to be inadequate to the present health and health situation. Indeed, this is not a war, the subject matter is disproportionate, but a health situation that needs to be addressed in the societal, scientific, medical, laboratory and pharmaceutical fields.

As I pointed out privately at the outset of this case, the central questions are not being answered; Mrs Condoleezza Rice asked the right questions during the video conference at the Hoover Institute on 14 April 2020. Obviously we have seen some bounce back from this intervention.

This raises the question of diagnosis and evaluation.   

This being the case, there is no need to provoke other states like the Chinese in this matter, but to solve the problems in international cooperation.

 Europe has been slow to react, particularly because of the change of Commission last July, and the arrival of many young people inexperienced in European affairs, both in the European Council and the European Parliament. The renewal of the European political generation is a fact that must be taken into account.  

Although the 2019-2024 term of office is experiencing teething troubles, all the players in the European institutions now have a duty to acquire and build on their experience in order to progress.  This also involves a phase of humility in relation to the ambitions of a few. The problems are well known. First of all, I would recommend continuing the work of the Junker Commission and then progressing step by step towards selected and voted developments agreed by the Member States and the citizens.  

We will be able to rely on the experienced players in our institutions, both European civil servants, MEPs and Member States, to meet these challenges.

Finally, after a few months of virtual absence, some progress has been made in tackling the European public health problem: such as the establishment of common resources at different levels to solve the problem, taking into account the disparities between health systems and their approaches in the European states.  

This is a path that helps European progress, in cooperation with the MS that are doing their research, while extending at international level the effort needed to resolve this health crisis. Work together!


There is no need for any autocratic process or authoritarian power drift, whose objectives would not be very clear and would take us back to an earlier period around the 19th century.

Our institutions, nations and citizens are following the curve of progress in all fields, and the scales of value appreciation have evolved positively over the decades, the use of psychological or other techniques to return to the painful past we know is a professional fault on the part of those who use such methods. Let us remain vigilant in the face of these egocentric deviations.

I recall that Jesus Christ liberates and heals; it is also a dimension!  Keep faith and hope!

Freiheit, Gesundheit, Sicherheit,

Wege des Verstehens

Ein Gleichgewicht zwischen Freiheit und Sicherheit zu finden, ist eine alte Geschichte. Totalitäre und freie Länder haben diesbezüglich keine gemeinsame Vision, außer natürlich in Fällen äußerster Notwendigkeit, wie bei großen Natur- oder anderen Katastrophen oder sogar bei ABC-Katastrophen.

Einige Nationen, deren berechnende Führer den Glauben und vielleicht auch den Kompass oder sogar die Professionalität, die aus dem Kalten Krieg hervorgegangen sind, verloren haben, schränken sich ein.

Es gibt jedoch Fortschritte seitens einiger Staatsoberhäupter, die zuhören und ihre Denkweise ändern, vor allem, wenn volle Befugnisse eingeführt werden. Diese Befugnisse scheinen mir jedoch im Hinblick auf die gegenwärtige gesundheitliche und gesundheitliche Situation unzureichend zu sein. In der Tat handelt es sich hier nicht um einen Krieg, die Thematik ist unverhältnismäßig, sondern um eine Gesundheitssituation, die in den Bereichen Gesellschaft, Wissenschaft, Medizin, Labor und Pharmazie angegangen werden muss.

Wie ich zu Beginn dieses Falles privat darauf hingewiesen habe, dass die zentralen Fragen nicht beantwortet werden, hat Frau Condoleezza Rice während der Videokonferenz im Hoover-Institut am 14. April 2020 die richtigen Fragen gestellt. Offensichtlich haben wir gesehen, dass sich einige von dieser Intervention erholt haben..

Unter diesen Umständen ist es sinnlos, andere Staaten wie die Chinesen in dieser Angelegenheit zu provozieren, sondern die Probleme in der internationalen Zusammenarbeit zu lösen.

 Europa hat nur langsam reagiert, vor allem wegen des Wechsels der Kommission im vergangenen Juli 2019, und der Ankunft vieler junger Menschen, die in europäischen Angelegenheiten unerfahren sind, sowohl im Europäischen Rat als auch im Europäischen Parlament. Die Erneuerung der europäischen politischen Generation ist eine Tatsache, der man Rechnung tragen muss.  

Obwohl die Amtszeit 2019-2024 Kinderkrankheiten aufweist, haben alle Akteure in den europäischen Institutionen nun die Pflicht, ihre Erfahrungen zu sammeln und auszubauen, um voranzukommen.  Dazu gehört auch eine Phase der Demut gegenüber den Ambitionen einiger weniger. Die Probleme sind bekannt. Zunächst einmal würde ich empfehlen, die Arbeit der Junker-Kommission fortzusetzen und dann Schritt für Schritt auf ausgewählte und abgestimmte Entwicklungen zuzugehen, auf die sich die Mitgliedstaaten und die Bürgerinnen und Bürger geeinigt haben.  Wir werden uns bei der Bewältigung dieser Herausforderungen auf die erfahrenen Akteure in unseren Institutionen verlassen können, sowohl auf die europäischen Beamten, die Abgeordneten des Europäischen Parlaments als auch die Mitgliedstaaten.   

Schließlich sind nach einigen Monaten virtueller Abwesenheit einige Fortschritte bei der Bewältigung des Problems der öffentlichen Gesundheit in Europa erzielt worden: So wurden auf verschiedenen Ebenen gemeinsame Ressourcen zur Lösung des Problems geschaffen, wobei die Unterschiede zwischen den Gesundheitssystemen und ihren Ansätzen in den europäischen Staaten berücksichtigt wurden.  

Dies ist ein Weg, der den europäischen Fortschritt in Zusammenarbeit mit den MS, die ihre Forschung betreiben, fördert und gleichzeitig die zur Lösung dieser Gesundheitskrise erforderlichen Anstrengungen auf internationaler Ebene ausweitet.

Es besteht keine Notwendigkeit für einen autokratischen Prozess oder ein Abdriften autoritärer Macht, deren Ziele nicht sehr klar wären und uns in eine frühere Periode um das 19. Unsere Institutionen, Nationen und Bürger folgen der Kurve des Fortschritts in allen Bereichen, und die Skalen der Wertschätzung von Werten haben sich im Laufe der Jahrzehnte positiv entwickelt, der Einsatz psychologischer oder anderer Techniken zur Rückkehr in die Vergangenheit ist, wie wir wissen, ein professioneller Fehler derer, die solche Methoden anwenden. Lassen Sie uns angesichts dieser egozentrischen Abweichungen wachsam bleiben.

Ich erinnere daran, dass Jesus Christus befreit und heilt; es ist auch eine Dimension!

Libertà, salute, sicurezza,

modi di intendere

Trovare un equilibrio tra libertà e sicurezza è una vecchia storia. I paesi totalitari e liberi non hanno una visione comune su questo, tranne naturalmente in casi di estrema necessità, come ad esempio grandi catastrofi naturali o di altro tipo, o anche NBC.

Alcune nazioni i cui leader calcolatori hanno perso la fede, e forse la bussola o anche la professionalità emersa dalla guerra fredda, si stanno confinando.

C'è, tuttavia, un progresso da parte di alcuni capi di Stato, che ascoltano e cambiano il loro modo di pensare, soprattutto quando vengono messi in atto i pieni poteri? Tuttavia, questi poteri mi sembrano inadeguati all'attuale situazione sanitaria e di salute. In effetti, non si tratta di una guerra, l'argomento è sproporzionato, ma di una situazione sanitaria che deve essere affrontata in campo sociale, scientifico, medico, di laboratorio e farmaceutico.

Come ho fatto notare privatamente all'inizio di questo caso, le domande centrali non hanno avuto risposta, la signora Condoleezza Rice ha posto le domande giuste durante la videoconferenza all'Hoover Institute del 14 aprile 2020. Ovviamente abbiamo visto un po' di ripresa da questo intervento.

Ciò solleva la questione della diagnosi e della valutazione.   

Stando così le cose, è inutile provocare altri Stati, come i cinesi, ma risolvere i problemi della cooperazione internazionale.

 L'Europa ha reagito con lentezza, soprattutto a causa del cambio di Commissione dello scorso luglio 2019 e dell'arrivo di molti giovani inesperti negli affari europei, sia al Consiglio europeo che al Parlamento europeo. Il rinnovamento della generazione politica europea è un fatto di cui bisogna tenere conto.  

Anche se il mandato 2019-2024 sta attraversando un periodo di difficoltà iniziali, tutti gli attori delle istituzioni europee hanno ora il dovere di acquisire e valorizzare la loro esperienza per progredire.  Ciò comporta anche una fase di umiltà in relazione alle ambizioni di pochi. I problemi sono ben noti. Prima di tutto, raccomando di continuare il lavoro della Commissione Junker e poi di procedere passo dopo passo verso sviluppi selezionati e votati concordati dagli Stati membri e dai cittadini.  Per affrontare queste sfide potremo contare sull'esperienza degli attori delle nostre istituzioni, sia dei funzionari pubblici europei, sia dei deputati al Parlamento europeo e degli Stati membri.   

Infine, dopo alcuni mesi di assenza virtuale, sono stati fatti alcuni progressi nell'affrontare il problema della sanità pubblica europea: come la creazione di risorse comuni a diversi livelli per risolvere il problema, tenendo conto delle disparità tra i sistemi sanitari e dei loro approcci negli Stati europei.  

Questo è un percorso che aiuta il progresso europeo, in collaborazione con gli SM che stanno facendo la loro ricerca, estendendo a livello internazionale lo sforzo necessario per risolvere questa crisi sanitaria.

Non c'è bisogno di alcun processo autocratico o di una deriva di potere autoritario, i cui obiettivi non sarebbero molto chiari e ci riporterebbero a un periodo precedente, intorno al XIX secolo.

Le nostre istituzioni, le nazioni e i cittadini stanno seguendo la curva del progresso in tutti i campi, e le scale di apprezzamento dei valori si sono evolute positivamente nel corso dei decenni, l'uso di tecniche psicologiche o di altro tipo per tornare al passato che sappiamo essere una colpa professionale da parte di chi usa tali metodi. Rimaniamo vigili di fronte a queste deviazioni egocentriche.

Ricordo che Gesù Cristo libera e guarisce; è anche una dimensione!

Liberté, santé , sécurité,

chemins de compréhension

Trouver un équilibre entre liberté et sécurité, vieille affaire. Les pays totalitaires et les pays libres n'ont pas de vision commune à ce propos, sauf évidemment en cas d'extrême nécessité, style catastrophe majeure naturelle ou autre, voire NBC.

Certaines nations dont les responsables calculateurs ont perdu la foi, et peut être la boussole voire le professionnalisme issu de la guerre froide, confinent.

Il y a cependant des progrès de la part de certains chefs d'état, qui sont à l’écoute et évoluent dans leurs façon de penser, en particulier lorsque les pleins pouvoirs sont mis en place, cependant, inadéquats à cette présente situation sanitaire et de santé. En effet il ne s'agit pas d'une guerre, le propos est disproportionné, mais d'une situation sanitaire à régler dans les domaines sociétaux, scientifiques, médicaux, laborantins, et pharmaceutiques.

Comme je l’ai signalé dès le départ de cette affa, ire, les questions centrales ne sont pas répondues, Madame Condoleezza Rice a posé les bonnes questions au cours de la visioconférence à l’Institut Hoover le 14 avril 2020. Évidemment on a vu rebondir certains suite à cette intervention.

Cela pose la question du diagnostic et de l’évaluation  

Ceci étant il est inutile de provoquer d'autres états comme les chinois en la matière, mais de résoudre les problèmes en coopération international.

 L'Europe a mis du temps à réagir, du fait notamment du changement de Commission en juillet dernier, et de l'arrivée de nombreux jeunes inexpérimentés en la matière européenne, aussi bien au Conseil Européen et au Parlement Européen. le renouvellement de la génération politique européenne est un fait dont il faut tenir compte.  

Bien que la mandature 2019-2024 connaisse des ratés au démarrage, l'ensemble des acteurs des institutions européennes, ont maintenant le devoir d'acquérir et de bâtir leur expérience pour progresser.  Cela passe aussi par une phase d'humilité par rapport aux ambitions de quelques-uns. Les problèmes sont connus. Dans un premier temps, je préconise la continuité des travaux de la Commission Junker puis de progresser pas à pas vers des évolutions choisies, et votées, agrées par les EM et les citoyens.  

L'on pourra s'appuyer sur les acteurs expérimentés de nos institutions, aussi bien les fonctionnaires européens que les eurodéputés et les Etats membres pour répondre à ces enjeux.   

L'on note enfin, après quelques mois de quasi absence, quelques progrès face à la problématique de santé publique européenne: comme la mise en place de ressources communes de différents niveaux, pour résoudre le problème en tenant compte des disparités entre les systèmes de santé et leur approches dans les états européens.  

C'est un chemin qui aide au progrès européen , en coopération avec les EM qui font leur recherches, et en prolongeant au niveau international l'effort nécessaire à résoudre cette crise sanitaire.

Il n'est nul besoin de quelque procédé autocratique ou de dérive de pouvoir autoritaire, dont les objectifs ne seraient pas très clairs  et ramèneraient à une période antérieure vers le XIX siècle. Nos institutions , nations et citoyens suivent la courbe du progrès tous domaines, et les échelles d'appréciations des valeurs ont évolué de manière positive avec les décennies, l’emploi de techniques psychologiques ou autres pour revenir au passé que l'on connait est une faute professionnelle de la part de ceux qui utilisent de telles méthodes. Restons vigilants face à ces déviation égocentriques

Je rappelle que Jésus Christ libère et guérit; c'est aussi une dimension!

Sarkozy and Merkel : June 2009 solution to May 2005 "NO" ?

 - Will French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angie Merkel live up from June 2009 to their obvious Historic European mission to revitalize, and re-launch the "European Dream", after the series of 3 "NO" since May 2005 in France, the Netherlands and Ireland, by renewing, and changing the EU with fresh stimulus, big horizons, and values attractive for EU Citizens ?

Whatever views anyone might have, it's a Fact that, recently, EU's political spectrum didn't produce other more charismatic and popular EU leaders than Merkel and Sarkozy, starting from September 2005 and May 2007, respectively.

This trend was confirmed, in one way or another, both during the German EU presidency in 2007 (shared by Merkel with the SPD), and mainly during the French EU Presidency in 2008, (with Sarkozy "free" to move).


The positive 2009 EU Polls are a natural consequence :

- Both with 72% Sarkozy and Merkel are considered by EU Citizens to be "the most Influential" leaders in Europe, by far.

- They are the only EU political leaders to attract a Majority of "Positive" views by EU Citizens, (Merkel over 60%, Sarkozy over 50%, particularly in the continent).

- 60% of EU Citizens find the 2008 French EU Presidency "Good", (and the satisfaction grows up to 67,5% in continental Europe).

The Poll was made by "OpinionWay" in big EU countries as Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK, (with the only exception of France), from 26 to 28 May 2009.

sarkozy_merkel_polls_400

But the most important is that both Franco-German leaders seem willing to, at last, really start serious business on EU's indispensable renovation and Renaissance from 2009 : Year of crucial EU and German Elections.

Therefore, this time, the joint European move by Sarkozy and Merkel, which just published a common Franco-German Manifesto, aims to stimulate aspirations and action not only in their respective countries, but also in many other EU "partners", as they say.

Both on EU economy, social values and scientifico-technologic research, as well as on Turkey's controversial EU bid, obviously incompatible with a popular Political Europe, whose Citizens can find a collective Identity and popular Values, they have already started to magnetize various growing voices accross the European landscape :

"Today, more than ever, it' time for action", they stress from the outset.

Facing "an unprecedented Global financial and economic Crisis", "Europeans must get resolutely involved if they want for the World which is being built to meet their Values of Liberty, Solidarity and Justice".

"That's what we want" and "propose to our Partners" :

* "A strong Europe, able to protect us" :

- "We refuse a Bureaucratic EU, which mecanically applies burdensome rules and is afraid of change. We want a European Union which listens what Citizens have to say, which innovates, stimulates".

- "We want a strong and united EU in the World, while also respecting its Member States' Diversity", which "brings Courageous Replies to the Questions of our Times, ensuring our Prosperity :  

This implies to "favor Research and Innovation", "Economic Coordination", to "develop real Policies on Immigrationn, Energy, Defence, and modernise  common policies, particularly Agriculture".

*  "EU must bring immediate replies to the Global Crisis".

- "Lawless liberalism failed". "The Model we want is that of a Responsible Market Economy, which favors Enterpreneurs and Workers, above Speculators ;  Long-term Investment, over immediate profiits".

- "We appeal upon the EU to take, from June, the first decisions to ensure a real European Regulation of Financial Markets, based on coordination and cooperation". "On speculative funds, on fiscal heavens, CEO's and financial operators' earnings, EU must give the example".

- "We call to change the rules of accounts, which are important for our Economy's revival : The competent normative authorities must take action". "The issue of a sufficient Credit offer is of central importance for our Economy". "We don't accept that, during this Financial Crisis, the European Banks' capacity to lend money might be unjustly reduced by Capital's requirements and accountant's rules

* "During the German and French Presidencies, EU has resoçlutely prepared itself for the fight against Global Warming... EU is the 1st and only area in the World to have adopted a package of ambitious and legally binding rules to comply with International Aims"

- "We have now to convince our Friends and Partners, to get involved, in order to atteint, next December at Copenhagen, a Global Agreement worthy of whay is at stake. Our closer ally, the US, but also other big industrial countries, must commit themselves with the same force as the Europeans".

"Green Growth is a Chance ... and an opportunity to create jobs turned towards the Future. Europe must be a leader".

- But, at the same time, we must ensure that our companies remain competitive in the World. The ambitious European involvements on Climat must not lead into a position where EU industry might become a Victim of Unfair Competition. Climat protection and Competitvity must go together. If our International partners refuse to associate themselves to our efforts, we are determined to take measures to protect European Industry"

* "Europe must be more ambitious for its Industry" : "It must favor the emergence of strong European enterprises at a Global level".

- "As long as an International mechanism" to "monitor Public Aids at WTO level, and hinder 3rd Countries to give abusive subsidies to their enterprises, provoking unfair competition", is "not yet set up, we must consider Transitory European Solutions".

* "The current Public Debt is too heavy... We must head anew towards sound public finance, as soon as we'd have passed the crucial stage in this crisis".
-------------------------------------------------

* Last, but not least :  "Europe must play a top-level role in the World"

- "For that purpose,  it needs efficient Institutions. That's why we need Lisbon Treaty". "The 27 Member States decided, last December (2008) that the Treaty should enter into force before the end of this year (2009)". To obtain that, June EU Council must agree "on the Guarantees for Ireland".

- But, "to be able to act, EU needs Borders. An Enlargment without Limits is not possible", Sarkozy and Merkel stressed in an obvious reference to Turkey, etc.

- "In order to be strong, Europe must assume its Values and its Identity". "Human Rights .. are at the basis of our commitment for a Peaceful Development accross the World".

- "For that purpose, we shall strengthen our common Defence and Security policy".
----------------------

* "We are ready to contribute to activate the EU towards the realisation of these aims, with our EU Partners".

"In order to succeed", Europe  "needs the active involvment of all, starting by Citizens themselves. That's why the June 7 rendez-vous is important", and "we are calling all Europeans to vote".

"We are convinced that, if Europe wants, Europe can", they conclude.
-----------------------

Precisely : - What can better forge "Europe's Will" than a "European Consciousness" emerging from political, democratic struggles to face Global Challenges, and open big New Horizons, including by crystal-clear Public Debates, with active EU Citizens' involvement, before the most important EU Decisions affecting People's lives ?

Precisely what "EuroFora"s project warns since 1997-2007, and unprecedented Majority Abstentions, since 1999-2004, added to 3 "NO" to EU Referenda in 2005 and 2007, proved meanwhile..

Let's hope that the Time wasted by some scandalous anti-European and anti-Democratic obstacles of the Past, will stimulate faster, simplified but substantial and persistent, efficient action.-

Polls

2009 EU Elections were won by Parties against Technocracy and Turkey's controversial EU bid, while the 1999-2004 Majority Abstention trend decelerated. What should be done in 2009-2014 ?
