Brittish Prime Minister Cameron, speaking as CoE's chair, explains refusal of "State Multi-Culti"
*Strasbourg/CoE/Angelo Marcopolo/- Incoming CoE Chairman (11/2011-5/2012), Brittish Prime Minister David Cameron, replying to MEPs' questions at CoE's PanEuropean Assembly in Strasbourg, gave a definitive and crystal clear confirmation of the main EU Leaders' refusal to admit "Multi-Culturalism"'s divisive effects against European Society's cohesion, reiterating in an even more detailed manner his agreement with German Chancellor Angie Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy on a key Socio-Political issue that some Turkish networks, (including in the recent Past even Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan) had notoriously attempted to exploit in order to keep "their" immigrants in separate, "parallel" groups, socio-culturally cut-off from host EU Countries' History and Culture, instead of integrating it, to the obvious and well known detriment mainly of young Children's learning potential, notoriously risking to provoke "Ghettos" controlled from the ourside by Foreign States, (as some Danish. a.o. Experts had initially warned at CoE's Conferences in Strasbourg, as early as since the 1990ies)..
- Asked by Azeri MEP Seyidov to "clarify" his "understanding" of the refusal to accept more "Multi-Culturalism", the Brittish Prime Minister referred from the outset to his "Speech in Germany" on 2011, while also praising Britain's "demonstration how you can tackle racism and have people from different cultures and countries living Together", "with full rights and full participation", from "People from all over the world", living inside "a successful multiracial democracy", as he said.
- "MultiRacial democracy is .. possible". "I say yes to the building in Britain of a multiracial democracy", and, both "we in Britain", as well as "many of the countries represented here", at CoE's PanEuropean Assembly, "are showing how it can and should be done", he distinguished. I.e. "Those people who come and live in your country are not just expected to assimilate into your culture: they are bringing something to your country that is going to be different and will benefit you", he acknowledged at first.
>>> But this goes only if and when "you build something positive together", Cameron stressed, apparently as a central, key condition.
=> Thus, launching a strong Criticism of Errors committed by others in the Past, the new Brittish Prime Minister denounced the fact that, "however, ....we have sometimes made Mistakes. ...there was a time when we had an approach that ...as "State Multi-Culturalism", ...almost as if the State were encouraging people from different countries and cultures, instead of trying to Integrate more, and build a new home together"
- "The State was almost treating them as Separate cultures and entities... . That ...has been a Mistake, ... State Multi-Culturalism has Failed !". "People" "should Not" be "treated" "as representatives of Different Blocs", Cameron denounced.
- F.ex., referreing to the way in which UK's "Chief Rabbi in Britain (Comp. his earlier replies to "EuroFora"s Questions at EU Parliament) has put it particularly well: we are Not trying to create, he said, a series of Different, Segmented houseS; we should be focusing on a Home that we are Building Together", as he characteristically said, naturally pointing at social and cultural Cohesion.
=> Therefore, "I say No to State MultiCulturalism, that treats people as members of (separate, differend) Groups. We should treat our citizens as Citizens – as individuals with full rights – rather than just thinking that they belong to a Different Bloc", Cameron concluded, widely applauded by many MEPs from various European Countries on this landmark point.

Renew Europe's Historic Legend with Parthenon's pure white marble at the eve of crucial 2009 EU Elections, was the ambition of an interesting Art Exhibition, with more topical Symbols than expected, organized by EU Parliament's 1st vice-President Rodi Kratsa-Tsagaropoulou and MEP Marie Panayotopoulos- Cassiotou, Chair of the Inter-group on Family policy, during March A session in Strasbourg.
According to the Ancient Legend, God Zeus, charmed by young Girl Europe, was trasformed into a strong Bull with Wings, and when she tamed him with Human affection, they flew over the Sea to live together in a New Land with large, fertile landscapes.
- "There, they saw the Continent with a "Large Front" ("Eureia -opse" in Greek => Eur-opse => Europe)", reminded the Sculptor, Mary Papaconstantinou, of the European Women Association, honored by awards in Paris, Athens and Strasbourg.
Thus, Europe's Legend combines Symbols of Energy and Strength, with caring Human personality, to bring towards New, large Horizons :
- "Modern Art for this Ancient Greek Legend here in Strasbourg reminds that Europe, placing Human dignity at its heart, always finds the strength to overcome any Crisis towards New achievements. And EU Parliament offers Citizens a chance to artfully interact", said MEP Panayotopoulos-Cassiotou.
Made by sparkling pure white Marble full of Symbols, they incite to think but also to act, as in front of a Book with half of its pages full of written text, but another half, free to write on white paper..
While several EU politicians think that one of the most important characteristics of the 2009 EU Elections is that from their outcome may depend Europe's Identity and Future, Culture Minister of Greece, Antonis Samaras (a former MEP) send the message that, precisely, such modern Art linked to Historic legends may help "EU Citizens search the origins of Europe's Identity".
- "The Legend says that they founded a New City, Thebes, and that reminds us that Europe is always a project of Invention and Creation", added EU Parliament's vice-President, Rodi Kratsa - Tsagaropoulou.
Sculptor Mary Papaconstantinou said that she "tried for years to find the same White Marble from Penteli Mountain that was used by Praxitelis and all those who created Parthenon", symbol of Democracy and one of the 7 wonders of the World.
- "By shaping this millenary Greek Marble to revive Europe's Ancien Legend with Modern Art, it reminds that Europe is a Hope for a better Future after Crisis, combining Energy for Development, with care for the Human person", said the sculptor's compatriot from Chios island, famous from French artist Delacroix's historic painting, MEP Panayotopoulos - Cassiotou.
Organisers of both events said that it was a pure coincidence. People are free to believe them, or hope otherwise...
**********************
They disagree in almost everything, except from one thing :
- EU Parliament's Art unites even opposed politicians in a common belief for Europe : Cyprus' example...
Rarely united together, but posing for "EuroFora" with the statute of Europe and Zeus flying over the Sea, ChristianDemocrat/EPP's MEP Yannis Kasulides, a frontrunner Presidential candidate in 2008, former Foreign Minister and Government Spokesman, and EuroLeft's MEP Kyriakos Triantafylides, Chairman of EU - Palestinian Council delegation, from the governing party AKEL (new Left) of the elected President, disagree on almost everything, except from their common claim that Europe of the Ancient Legend, when she flew with God Zeus from Ancient Phynecia to the West, must have crossed the island of Cyprus !
Hard to prove the contrary, 3.000 years later...
