*Strasbourg/EU Parliament/Angelo Marcopolo/- European Democracy reportedly being the Most Popular Issue in EU's Conference on Europe's Future, normaly, it Should Apply also to Citizens' Panels, vis a vis the CoFoE's Plenary.

ep_cfe_demopanel_2__ambassadors_election__26.9.3021_eurofora_400 

This may Concern, particularly, the Last Decision of Democracy Panels' first Session, on Sunday, which notoriously is the Election of 20 so-called "Ambassadors" due to Speak at the Conference's Plenary, with Representatives of Member States, EU Commission, or EU Parliament's, etc., afterwards, until Final Proposals are adopted for EU's Reforms from 2022.

In this regard, a Young Bulgarian, just Elected Today as "Ambassador" of this Important Panel on EU Democracy, introduced to "Eurofora" by a kind Lady, Participant Citizen from Germany, appeared to have Both a Good Idea, and a quite Brave Character...

 - Indeed, Alexander Milisov, New "Ambassador" to CoFoE's Plenary for Democracy Issues, speaking to "Eurofora", appeared Adamant :

- "I Feel the Need to Represent the Views of  Not Only Some, But of All the European People !" on Democracy, he Firmly Told us, from the Outset, looking Serious enough.

- "What do you mean by "All the People" ?", "Eurofora" Asked, for Clarification.

- "First for the Participants in the Conference, and then, All the People Outside of the Panel" too, Alexander clearly Explained.  

"Eurofora" Congratulated Milisov, and Encouraged him, inter alia, Also to use a Website in order to Collect European People's relevant Wishes, Ideas and Proposals through the Internet.

Naturaly, the Conference on Europe's Future Web Platform appeared, a priori, as the Most Appropriate Instrument for that purpose, But one may Always do Better than that,... (particularly with a little Help from some Friends).

>>> Indeed, how could a real European  "Democracy" Panel represent Only some Views of a Tiny Minority of Less than 200 Individuals, taken Radomly, if it Droped to a Waste-Basket the Legitimate Aspirations comming among some 500 Millions of EU Citizens ?

Already, several EU Agents dealing with the Conference on Europe's Future, and/or "Moderators" on the Conclusions of its Panels, have repeatedly Incited Citizens, Even Panels' Members, to at least Use the CoFoE's Web "Platfom" in order to Register and Promote their Ideas for the Recommendations to make, from EU Citizens' side, to the CoFoE's Plenary, later-on.

>>> But, it's also a Fact that, at least Until Now, the First so-called "Interim Reports" made by some Unknown to the People, and Apparently, sometimes Irresponsible Individuals, due to Resume the Conference's Web Platform's expressed Ideas and Projects, have, Curiously and Blantantly Failed into giving a Real and Complete, Overall Picture of, at least, the Most Important, Serious, Popular, and/or Interesting and Original relevant Proposals made and Published there by European People !

F.ex., among others, in that 1st such, so-called "Report", made on August and Unveiled Earlier this September 2021, about Participatory EU "Democracy" Ideas and Proposals, it doesN't do Anything else than, Merely, to Repeatedly "Copy and Paste" Links to Only a Few, Hasty, Superficial, and quasi-Identical Copies or Variants of the Already Pre-Existing Idea of "Citizens' Initiatives", (Notoriously created by EU's Lisbon Treaty Since 2007-2010),

WithOut Even Mentioning, on the Contrary, at least a Brand New Idea and Original Proposal, Recently (the very Day of the 1st CoFoE's Plenary in Strasbourg) Published at the Conference's Web Platform, (as well as Elsewhere), by "Eurofora"'s co-Founder, and Already "Followed" by More than ...750 Registered People, some Days Ago, which is Based on Decades of Serious Legal, Political, and Journalistic Work, in great parts Checked and Validated at French University Research levels, (DEA/Master and/or PhD Thesis Research, Officialy proposed for Awards, etc), as well as Endorsed by a Strasbourg EuroMetropole's 2 Days-long Popular Conference on 2019, and Even Topicaly Backed, in its Main Concepts, by Both EU and CoE's latest Resolutions, including until this Last June and July 2021...

=> See, f.ex., the Proposal for "Dialogue between Citizens and Politicians Before Decisions Affecting their Lives and/or Society at large", at : https://futureu.europa.eu/processes/Democracy/f/6/proposals/32770, etc.

>>> Why isN't such an Original EU Citizen's Proposal on European Democracy, already Published at the Conference's Official Platform, and Followed by more than 750 Registered People recently, at least one Among those Simply Cited in CoFoE's "Interim Report", But, on the Contrary, is Still kept practicaly "Hidden" from Interested People's Eyes and Minds, (while, on the Contrary, a Lot of Other, Superficial, Hasty and Repetitive, Banal Pseudo-"Ideas" only Copying one another, are Scandalously  Spotted and Re-Published by that Controversial Pseudo-"Report" ?

-  Such Blatant and Scandalous Discriminations and/or Grave Blunders, Obviously, consideably Show the Pertinence and the Vital Need of Europe for Ideas and Practice as those just Expressed by Young EU Democracy Citizens Panel's "Ambassador" Alexander Milisov, (Comp. Supra) !

    Scientific innovation joined to Faith for Human Rights, Eastern Partnership and fight against the Crisis, but above all, the need to overcome the "Crisis of Trust" from EU Citizens, are the main priorities for new EU Parliament's President, Polish Jerzy Buzek, that a 555-votes-strong majority of MEPs on July 14,  Strasbourg made a living symbol of the fact that, 20 years after the fall of Berlin Wall (1989 - 2009) there is no more an Eastern or Western Europe, but only one Europe, as the head of the largest group of MEPs, ChristianDemocrats/EPP, Joseph Daul, stressed after the event.

    Speaking later to a group of Strasbourg's Journalists, including "EuroFora", the new EU Parliament's President clarified his stance on concrete topical issues, as f.ex. that of Turkey's controversial EU bid, which was one of the main issues of the June 2009 Electoral campain, clearly won by his party of ChristianDemocrats/EPP :  - "At present, Turkey does not fullfil none of EU conditions", he stressed, (See infra).

imag0958_400

    Buzek is well known in Strasbourg and to "EuroFora" as EU Rapporteur for the Framework Program of Scientific Research and Development of Technologies. A Natural Science Professor from the Historic and Religious landmark Polish City of Częstochowa, active in the famous Solidarnosk grass-roots social movement, he served 4 years as Prime Minister (1997-2001), before being elected as MEP in 2004 and 2009, after he brillantly won the latest EU Election at the head of his party (EPP) almost doubling the number of its MEPs from 15 to 28 !

    - "Innovation" and "Energy safety", as well as fight against the "Cimat change", but also "Eastern Partnership", the "Mediterranean", "Strategic partnerships" with Russia, the USA, etc, and the search for "solutions to the Economic Crisis" that EU Citizens "expect" from us, will be his "priorities", announced from the outset the new EU Parliament's President, reminding also that the quest for "Human and Civic Rights" played an important role in his experience with the Solidarnosc grass-roots social movement in Poland's History

    But, the most important of all, is the urgent need to overcome the "Crisis of Trust" between EU Institutions and the People he stressed : - EU "Citizens often don't understand us", denounced Buzek, launcing a call to "do anything for EU Citizens to understand our work" in EU Parliament : "We (MEPs) need to make EU Citizens involved" in "what we are doing every week, in Strasbourg and Brussels", he proposed. Pointing f.ex. to the hot "Debates" with "strong arguments" exchanged between MEPs during the preparation of their Legislative Decisions, in Committees, delivering often hard struggles between initially opposed points of view, long before forging a majority at the final vote, sometimes more than a year..

    Therefore, EU Parliament will be "open to your criticism, for discussion and exchange of views", he promissed to Journalists in Strasbourg.

    In this way, Buzek, in fact, highlighted "EuroFora"s main idea, that we strongly advocate since 1997-2007, to systematicaly and actively involve EU Citizens in public debates during the decision-making process of important EU measures, which affect their lives and the society in which they live, (and not only just a few weeks each 4 or 5 Years at the eve of EU Elections)...
--------------------
    This is related also to the symbolic gift that Buzek chose to give to the out-going former EU Parliament's President, Hans Gert Poettering, (2007-2009), his collegue in the ChristianDemocrats/EPP, who brillantly won 2009 EU Elections in Germany : A genuine statute of sainte Barbara crafted in Silesia's black Coal by Polish Miners : Those simple but strong people who fought for social change against some technocrats and bureaucrats disguissed into so-called "real-socialists" of old times. (PHOTO).

    It's enough to have seen a popular open air mass, at Warsaw's center, with many thousands of people, old and young, simple workers and intellectuals mixed together, with references to Poland's history and struggles for survival and liberty, through various ages, (as fex. that organized at the eve of CoE's 2005 panEuropean Heads of State and Government for the beatification of late Pope John-Paul II), in order to understand what such symbols mean..

    But, overcoming the "Crisis of Trust" with EU Citizens obviously implies also to rectify any errors done in the past, fex. on Turkey's controversial EU bid, with controversial decisions taken in 1999 and 2004 to give a "candidate" status and to start EU negotiations, provoking an unprecedented series of 3 "No" to EuroReferenda and 3 Majoriy Abstentions in EU Parliament Elections : 1999, 2005 and 2009, (even if the latest one succeeded to decelerate and almost stop the drop of participation rates, opening hopes for vote's revival after an electoral campaign clearly critical to Turkey's claims in several mainstream EU countries)
    
    Therefore, Buzek was faced with manifold critical Questions on EU Enlargement, most of them citting concrete examples of certain political problems  :  But his replies were almost always given as a matter of general principle :

    F.ex. Questioned on the suspension of EU - Croatia talks because of a Border conflict with EU Member Slovenia, Buzek prefered to speak about principles :

- "We know that during Enlargement, the process can be blocked by failure to resolve this kind of issues",  This concerns also other enlargments' cases", and "these rules are always in force" he warned.


But Buzek avoided to directly reply to a queston on "French and German EPP' calls to define the Borders of Europe", as a German journalist asked him by making a reference to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and German Chancellor Angie Merkel's, critical statements on Turkey at the June 2009 Electoral campain.    

- "Concerning Enlargement, there's always the same rules : There have to be Criteria, which have to be respected if a Country wants to join the EU", he started to simply reply.

- "For my country (Poland) it took us 15 Years to fullfil these Criteria", Buzek reminded, indicating, if proportions are kept, that Turkey, fex. would have to spend some 25 years before eventually joining the EU..

- "Countries wishing to join the EU need to Change their Systems", as we (Poland and other former Eastern European Countries) did, he stressed.

- "'For me, meeting the condition of Human Rights is one of the Key conditions for membership in the EU", preferring again to speak from the point of view of General Principles, on the occasion of an untimely question on Serbia (which is not even a candidate yet)...

- "Turkey" has, "first of all", to fullfil (EU) Copenhagen criteria". Bevause, currently, none of them is fullfiled by Turkey", New EU Parliament's President, denounced, speaking later to a group of Journalists, including "EuroFora".

In particular, on Human Rights :  - "We (EU) can never forget Human Rights", because "this is at the very Foundations of the EU", Buzek added.

On the contrary, when he referred to EU Enlargment for the  "Western Balkans Countries ", Buzek appeared upbeat, finding "promising situations", despite "difficulties" in the Past, since "Countries are queuing to become EU members", and this "generated changes", as he said.

As for Russia, Buzek observed that it was a "very important" country, located "in the same Continent", Europe,  "close to our borders", and "we need eachother". "But Russia' has 'differend poblems : "They claim that their system is Democratic, but rules are differend", and we must be "aware of such differencies", fex. "on Human Rights", that we can't ignore, as he said;

Concerning China, where a journalist observed that the recipient of EU Parliament's latest "Sakharov prize" for freedom of thought is "still in prison", Buzek found that since the 1999 events in Tien Amin square, "we see differencies on Human Rights still today", and expressed his "support" for those who try to ameliorate the situation.

On the contrary, speaking recently to "EuroFora" he strongly supported the idea for an EU - Ukraine cooperation, fex. between Airbus and Antonov, in order to build a  less costly but more performant than the old and problematic A400M, new Military Transport Airplane : - "They (Ukranian Antonov Company) can certainly do it. I'm sure they can. It's a good Idea, and I'd be glad if it was done", he told us. (See : http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/airbusantonov.html )
