*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/- Will Croatia, (who prepares to Lead the EU between January and June 2020, just after succeeding to get brillantly elected also at PanEuropean CoE's General Secretariat, with Marija Buric, for the period of 2019-2024),  evolve like Norway, in internal Politics ?

 In addition to a notoriously Long and Beautiful SeaCoast, added to Natural Wonders at Internal Waterways, (Fjords in Norway, Danube River and Karstic phenomena in Coatia), the currently Richest Scandinavian Country may soon have in common with the Strategically located "Mittel-Europa" Country, even a Political Landscape Advancing towards a popular Unity of all the Right, as the Results of the Crucial 1st Round in its Presdential Election (December 2019-January 2020) have Just Highlighted :

While even German Chancelor Angie Merkel, has earlier hailed as "Best Prime Minister in the World", her Norwegian collegue, Erna Solberg, who Heads a Unity of the Right Government, between ChristianDemocrats/EPP and Rightists,

now it's probably her Croat collegue, Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, who looks Well Placed to Definitively Win the Presidential Election on January 2020, judging by the Results of the 1st Round, Today, where the People Voted for her between Socialist Candidate Zoran Milanevic (almost a retired veteran) and Rightist Candidate Miroslav Skoro (a newcomer, supported by a Brand New Coalition).

Indeed, Kolinda (KGK), also a ChristianDemocrat/EPP politician, and outgoing President, got around 27% of the Votes, closely Followed by rightist Miroslav (MS) with around 25%, (i.e. Totaling, Both taken Together, clearly More than the Absolute Majority), while socialist Zoran (ZM) got about 29%, Isolated at the Left, as the Rest of the Votes were Dispersed among Various and Numerous other Small Candidates.

So that, theoretically, with a Potential of, at least, a Majority of + 52 %, in view for the 2nd and Final Round, scheduled, between the 2 Frontrunners, on January 5, 2020, KGK, (who reportedly "Called for All those on the Right side, to Unite, behind her candidacy"), is, normaly, due to Win that race, which may have an Important Influence Also on the Forthcoming, Crucial Parliamentary Elections, scheduled by Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, (her Ally at the ChristianDemocrat/EPP Party "HDZ" : i.e. "Democratic Union"), also for the Same Year, Later on Autumn 2020.

Mutatis-Mutandis, more or less Similar Political Trends, pleading towards a Unity of the Right, emerged Recently also in Various Other Countries throughout Europe, such as Italy and Germany (according to Regional Elections and Nation-wide Polls in Both), Denmark, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Austria, Spain, etc., (in Addition to a considerable Strengthening of the Rightists also in Sweden, Finland, Belgium, France, etc, not to speak about Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, etc, partly already in Government, without excluding even the Different, but, in fact, Likewise Developments in the UK).

-------------------------

Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, a partly US-Educated Litterature Graduate who studied also Diplomacy, entered her Political Career during the 2 successive Governments of the Most Long-Standing Prime Minister in the History of the Country : Ivo Sanader, (who Succeeded to rapidly Overcome the Scandalous Paradox of having left, in the Past, the 95% Asiatic, 99% Islamized, UnderDevelopped, notoriously Oppressive and Aggressive Turkey, become a Controversial and UnPopular ..."Candidate" to EU Accession, while, at the Same Time, the undeniably European, predominantly Christian, located at the "Heart" of Europe, Democratic and Peaceful Croatia was initially kept Out of the EU - while cultivating Good Relations with the Serbs, whose Minority Party in Croatia was Supporting his Coalition Government, favorable to a sustainable Return of Serbo-Croat Refugees to their Ancestral Land and Family Homes, as he had Often stressed to "Eurofora"s co-Founder), First as European Affairs Minister, and Afterwards as Foreign and European Affairs Minister, (i.e., as Also has done her compatriot Marija Buric, Nowadays the New CoE's Secretary General, who, after serving as a MP in Sanader's era, she had Even been appointed as Vice-Prime Minister). Following unsuccesful attemps by the Socialists to Slander her, and her Husband, when she served as Ambassador to the USA, she became Assistant Secretary General of the NATO, twice. After Surprizingly Winning the 2015 Presidential Election, against an out-going, then, Socialist Candidate, she marked a Symbolic but Real Difference on Policy vis a vis the Socialists during the 2015-2016 Crisis of 1,5 Millions Mass Asylum Seekers/Irregular Migrants suddenly Smuggled by Turkey through Greece into the EU, and held an UnForgetable role at the Moscow Final Games for the UEFA, side by side with French and Russian Presidents Macron and Putin, where the Ukranian Team made an Impressive Performance.

Rightist Candidate Miroslav Skoro, Now Backed by a Brand New Coalition made of at least 4 Parties, initially a Civil-Engineer, turned into a succesful Musician, Song-Writer and Singer, of Popular but particularly Socio-Political Music, ("Don't touch my Plain", "Heroes don't Cry", etc), was Elected MP during Ivo Sanader's era as Prime Minister, but Resigned in 1 Year, reportedly protesting against ill-treatment by several Establishment's Medias. His surprize Candidacy to the 2019 Presidential Election was announced almost at the Last Minute, but he managed to get the support of 4 or 5 small, Non-Establishment Parties, created at the Post-Sanader era, from various, particularly Conservative (Christian : f.ex. with "Radio Maria" etc, Anti-Bureaucracy : f.ex. "Bridge" of Petrov, or other) areas, which came for the 1st Time together, reaching an unexpected 25% : In Comparison, KGK's previous Competitor at the 3rd place, Back on 2015, had Only ...5%. It would be Natural and Logical if this New Big Political Coalition forms a New Movement in view of the forthcoming, Autumn 2020 Parliamentary Election, for an Alliance of All the Right, with the currentlly Governing Party "HDZ".

On the Contrary, the Socialist Candidate Zoran Milanovic (29%), who Studied Law, was a stuborn Adversary to Ivo Sanader, that he pursued and later Persecuted for alleged "Corruption".  Himself, he arrived into Government Only Once, after what is called the ..."Kukuriku" (sic !) Deal, with 3 Leftist Parties (including that of "Pensioners") and 8 National Minority MPs, negotiated at an homonymous Restaurant...

One of the First Reforms of ZM was to Impose "Medically Assisted Fertilization", resulting into Artificial Births through Technocratic Interferences over Human Genetics, since 2012, while, almost at the Same Time, he Pushed for various so called "Rights" of controversial and unpopular Homosexual Couples, Unable to give Natural Births, (almost Immitating the Former Socialist/Liberal US President Barack Hussein Obama, who had been notoriously Elected with the Biggest Private Funds in America's History, particularlu from "Big Pharma" Lobbies, both on 2008 and 2012, and immediately Strived to Impose, Both Inside the US and at Any Other Countries in the World, even in Poor Africa, the Maximum possible Technocratic Interferences on Human Genome, especially under Pretext of so-called "LGBTI" Agendas, including the so-called "Same Sex Marriage", opening Access to Children)...     

But the Majority of the Croat People had more Fighting Spirit than he thought, so that they Succeeded soon, since 2013, to Organize a Popular Referendum, through the "Citizens' Initiative for (Natural) Family", which Protected the Traditional Definition of Marriage, as "a Union Between a Man and a Woman", thus creating a Constitutional Protection of Natural Families and Natural Births, instead of Controversial and UnPopular "Same Sex Marriage", which Risked to Submit Children under the Power of Homosexuals, under Pretext of "Adoption", and Even to Trigger Numerous Artificial Procreations of Human beings Controlled by Technocrats, (Comp. Supra) : Despite Milanovic's vociferous Opposal, Urging to Vote "No" to that Citizens' Initiative, in fact, the Croatian People Voted a Crystal-Clear, Absolute Super-Majority of 2/3, Reaching as High as ...65% in Favour of that Important Popular Referendum on BioEthics and Humanity's Future ! Nevertheless, Zoran Milanovic persisted to Defy the People, and Imposed a Law on "Partnerships", reportedly giving to Homosexual couples the Same Rights as Married People, Except from that of Adoption, thus Sparing the Children, (which is, in fact, the Most Important)...     

On the Contrary, ZM, (Unlike the ChristianDemocrat/EPP Ivo Sanader : Comp. Supra), has a Reputation of being quite Harsh Against the Neighboring Serb People, (the Relations to whom is Obviously Key for a Peaceful Cooperation in the Western Balkans' Future Integration into the EU), to the point that, (reacting to a "Law on Universal Jurisdiction for War Crimes on the whole Territory of Former Yugoslavia), he has reportedly Accused the Serbian Government to be acting "Arrogantly", and Threatened even to "Block Serbia's EU Accession Negotiations", as well as to adopt a Law allowing Croatia to Prosecute Serbians for alleged Crimes in Kosovo, and  adding that "Serbs want to be Rulers of the Balkans, but are actually a handful of Misery !", according to him, (Source : "Wikipedia").     

However, almost at the Same Time, ZM's Government, curiously, was among the First to "Call on Croatian Companies working in Syria to Withdraw from the Country" since February 2012, and to officially Recognize, since January 2013 (i.e. even Before the Arab League), as "the Only (sic !) Legitimate Representative" of Syria, the Controversial "National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces", which had just been Founded in Doha (Qatar), on November 2012, by a former Imam, and was Associated, inter alia, Also with the so-called "Free Syrian Army" para-Military Gang. + Moreover, Shortly Afterwards, Zoran Milanovic even "Sold Weapons to the Syrian Opposition" (i.e. extremist Islamist Armed Gangs) on February 2013, (i.e. when ISIS' Deadly Terrorists targetting Civilian People, Al-Queda's successors, and other such Islamist Gangs were notoriously Preparing the Invasion/Occupation of a "Caliphate" announced on 2014)...         

After having Lost Twice in a row, at the 2015 and 2016 Parliamentary Elections with his "Socialist" Party, Zoran Milanovic Quit Politics and Became a Private Consultant, with main Client ...Albania.

Comparatively, when KGK had also to face a Period with an Adverse National Government in the Past (betweej 2011 - 2014), she had Managed to be Elected Twice as NATO's Assistant Secretary General, competent for Public Information, in Brussels...

ZM Returned Back to Politics 3 Years Later, seeking Now to become President on 2019-2020, but Facts clearly indicate that, most probably, this could be his 3rd Loss in a Row, ... as Something New seems to be Growing Nowadays around Croatia's "Mittel-Europa" Strategic European Heartland.

    An "Eugenic" loophole Amendment, which might expose to Dangers reminiscent of "3rd Reich's" notorious Genetic Abuses, hidden at the last minute inside an otherwise Good, larger Health policy Package scheduled to be voted on Thursday, was strongly denounced by a coalition of MEPs from various Political Groups and Countries, in a Press Conference held this afternoon at EU Parliament in Strasbourg.

    Mainly calling to "Select Human Embryos", via "Genetic Counselling" and "pre-implantation" Techniques including "Genetic Tests", in order to "Eradicate Hereditary rare Diseases", it might open ways to Dangerous Practices in Future, they denounced in substance.

    But they also made it clear that a much larger Report inside which this Controversial Amendment "No 15" was added in dubious circumstances, officialy destinated to struggle against "Rare Diseases", and drafted by Professor Antonios Trakatellis, was otherwise "an Excellent Report", aiming at a "completely Uncontroversial target" of Health policy on which "all MEPs and Experts are united, believing that Europe should act" to protect People's Health (See "EuroFora"'s earlier News).

    The controversy came at a particularly delicate moment for the EU in relation to Citizens, at the eve of June 2009 EU Elections, and shortly before Ireland re-votes for "Lisbon Treaty"..    

- Denouncing risks of "an Eugenic demand, very similar to what we had during the 3rd Reich in Germany, but now coming from some Scientisists themselves", German ChristianDemocrat/EPP MEP Dr. Peter Liese stressed that critical MEPs were against "Eugenic" engineering with "Selection of Human Embryos", and anything which might ultimately lead up to to a "Selection of Human Race". It doesn't help to "eradicate" Human Lives, he added.


    Several Experts and NGOs expressed "Deep Concern", as f;ex. DR M.C. Cornel of the "European Society of Human Genetics", which stressed, on this occasion, that "the importance of Non-Directiveness in Reproductive issues is a Central characteristic of Human Genetics, after the Atrocities committed in the name of Genetics in the first half or the 20th Century".

     - "This is completely Unacceptable", stressed Italian Liberal MEP Vittorio Prodi, on the Controversial Amendment, also because pushes to "eliminate early Human Life", as he noted.

     - "This opens a Dangerous Road, rather a Motorway", denounced Danish MEP Mrs Margrette Auken, from the "Greens", observing that various similar attempts were made in the Past "not only in Germany, but also in several other Countries, "even at the 1970ies", "f.ex. on forced Sterilisation of Roma" People, and other criticisable situations f.ex. in the UK, in Sweden, etc. as she said.

    + Other NGOs, as f.ex. "LebenHilfe" from Berlin, added that, among various other Risks, could also be that, by exploiting the pre-implantation Genetic Diagnostics and the Selection of "healthy" Embryos, some may "propagate" several "Eugenic" aims, starting f.ex. by pushing to eradicate Human Livies which might "Cost too much" to preserve, ultimately exposing to dangers reminiscent of the "3rd Reich"'s atrocious abuses.

    In consequence, ChristianDemocrats/EPP and "Green" MEPs "decided by Majority to vote against" this Controversial Amendment, anounced to Journalists the 5 MEPs who participated in the Press Conference, representing a wide spectrum, from Liberals to "Greens" and ChristianDemocrats, and from Hungary, Italy, Germany and Danemark up to Ireland (Gay Mitchell), etc.
----------------------------------
    Hungarian ChristianDemocrat MEP Laszlo Surjan said "that it was "Suddenly, at the End of the Procedure" in Committee, that "appeared this (Controversial) Amendment, which has nothing to do" with the main purpose of the Report, on which all agreed.

    He denounced an "Unhonest" move, and called to "avoid this kind of unacceptable situations". Nobody should "Select People", Surjan stressed.

    - "We (MEPs) had No Chance to Discuss" this last-minute Amendment earlier added at a Committee's level, said German MEP Peter Liese

    Speaking to "EuroFora", Dr. Liese, the Spokesman of the ChristianDemocrat/EPP Group in EU Parliament, said that MEPs didn't oppose other references of the Report f.ex. on "Genetic Tests", because they were "no proposals" to impose them, while, on the contrary, there was "a Problem" if anyone attempted to "impose" f.ex. this or that Genetic Technique and "Genetic Counselling", etc. to the People on human reproduction.
-------------
The precise Text :
-----------------
    Controversial parts of Amendment No 15 ask mainly "to lead finally to the Eradication" of "Hereditary" "rare diseases", "through Genetic Counselling .., and ..pre-Implantation Selection of healthy Embryos".

    But  EU Rapporteur Professor Trakatellis, said to "EuroFora" that fears should be alleviated by Guarantees that all this should be done only "where appropriate", when it's "not contrary to existing National Law", and "always on a Voluntary basis", according to other Parts of the Amendment.

    He stressed that the main aim was to allow "a free and informed choice of persons involved", without imposing them anything :  - "It's not an obligatory, but advisary" text, he said.

    To make that point clear, he was ready, in agreement with many MEPs, to eventually drop at least that part of the controversial Amendment which initially called for "efforts to ..lead finally to the Eradication of those rare diseases" "which are Hereditary".

    But, until late Wednesday evening, reportedly together with many other MEPs, he stood by all the rest of the controversial Amendment, (fex. on the "Genetic Counselling" and the "pre-implantation Selection of healthy Embryos"), so that critical MEPs, going from ChristianDemocrats as Dr. Liese, to "Greens" or "Ind/Dem", observed to "EuroFora" that "this was not enough" to close the dangerous loophole.

    Particularly since, as Professor Trakatellis noted himself, "this is already allowed to the U.K.", and "other National Legislations would probably follow, sooner or later" in a similar direction. As for a general call to "Eradicate Hereditary rare Diseases", this "should happen, at any case, in practice, de facto", to protect public Health.

    On the contrary, "our goal should be to help patients suffering from rare diseases, not to eradicate the patients. In case of genetic disease risk, the decision should not be guided by scenarios" made by politicians. "Perents who may decide to accept a child, even if handicapped or with genetic disease, must be respected and supported with solidarity", critical MEPs stated.

    - "Any Pressure" to "a patient or couple (who "should be able to make an informed choice consistent with their own values"),"from health Professionals, Public Health Policies or Governemental Institutions, or Society at large, should be avoided", stresses the "European Society for Human Genetics".

----------------------------------

Each MEP's vote will be registered !

-----------------------------------   

The Socialist Group requested a "Split vote" on the Amendment 15, first without, and afterwards with the words "lead finally to the Eradication" etc.


    But the first "split vote" leaves intact all the other parts of the Controversial Amendment, (i.e. "Genetic Counselling", "Selection of healthy Embryos", etc).

    That's why, 3 Groups of MEPs : ChristianDemocrats/EPP, "Greens/EFA", and "Ind/Dem", have asked for "Roll Call Votes", on everything regarding the Controversial Amendment No 15, and on the final outcome of the resulting Report as amended, which will register all the individual positions to be taken by each MEP.   

Something which will obviously make each MEP think twice before voting for one or another choice, to be sure that he/she will make the right choice in front of EU Citizens, particularly at these pre-Election times...


    Crucial Votes were scheduled between 12 Noon and 1 p.m. local Strasbourg time, in the middle of a long series of various other Reports, and after a long Public Debate on the larger Health policy package, from 9 to 11.50 am.

    The specific Report inside which was hidden the controversial Amendment is due to be debated between 11 and 12 am.

    So that more last-minute Surprises may not be excluded a priori...

    Particularly at the present Historic moment, when even the Institutional Future of the EU depends on the result of a second Referendum on "Lisbon Treaty", later this year, in ...Ireland, a mainly Catholic country, where People are particularly sensitive in such kind of socio-cultural and values issues...
