*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/- In what might probably be marked as a Record-High Bad Faith in Establishment's Medias, Vote Counting, and Strange Health Care services, Prague, at Europe's Heart, Before Chairing the EU Next Year (2022), gave, in Fact, a Landmark Popular Support to the Main Ideas and Values Supported by its embattled Prime Minister Andrej Babis, who, (against False Appearances), practicaly Succeeded into stimulating Almost an absolute Majority of 54% among the Voting People !

This was Against a distand Minority with Not even 44% of Votes, in a dispersed Opposition, hastily and clumsily set up in some Shaky pseudo-"Coalitions", among Even Opposed or Heteroclite, various Small Parties, (Including with ...Pro-Babis' Ideas in certain cases : See Infra), which attempt to Hide the Fact that those who are Mainly Opposed to the current Prime Minister on Topical Key Issues, Lost badly, being the most Rejected by the People (Ibid)...

Spectacularly United, in Public, Together with the Prime Ministers of Hungary, Victor Orban, and Slovenia's Janos Jansa (currently EU President-in-office for 2021), as well as USA former Vice-President Mike Pence, at Budapest's Castle recent Heads of State/GovernmentSummit for Europe's "Demography", and Against Replacement by a Massive Immigation, from Non-European Foreign Countries, mainly Islamic, wihOut any Cultural Integration in the History and Values of the Host Country, some Days ago, Babis, (already a Critical, Outsider element in EU Politics), was Suddenly Hit, at the Last Minute Before the Election 2021, by unproven allegations Against his personal Integrity by Mediatic so-called "Pandora" Papers, where some Accused him to have, Reportedly, a link to ..."a Castle in France', through Czech off shore Companies, Bought ...Since 2009" (sic !) ...i.e. about 12 (Twelve) Years Earlier, (which, at any case, Already Belonged to Other Czech Companies Also Before that)...

Babis immediately Denounces Fake "Slandering", and observes that this is "Not any International" move, But Only something pushed by a "Mafia" in his own Country, Czechia, which seeked Revenge for his Anti-Corruption Fight, during Many Years, Since 2013, (See Infra). However, Despite the Fact that Even "Wikipedia", (which has an Extensive Record of Many and Various Accusations against him) does Not Publish that rocambolesque Claim Hitting him, Nevertheless, a Few Days Before the Vote, Only the Words : "Babis ...  Pandora Papers ...Chateau in France" (sic ! ) Repeated by a lot of Establishment's Medias without Explanations, reportedly Might have Misled some Voters, serving as a Pretext for an (Otherwise Suspect) Blow up of Opposition's Bulletins OverNight, and/or a Simultaneous Exceptional "Disappearance" of some pro-Babis Candidates' usual Bulletins, Dissuading eventual Denonciations of Last Minute "Fraud" in favor of his Opponents at the Late Night Counting, (almost as f.ex. at the Infamous "Biden v. Trump" Row on the Results mainly of Controversial Postal/Absentees' and/or Electronic Votes OverNight on November 2020)...  

So, his Competitors, echoed by most Establishment's Medias, Hurry up to Claim an alleged Tight "Victory" for them, at the Last Minute, ...Even if a Careful Analysis of the Votes, on the Contrary, Reveals a quite Strong Popular Support for pro-Babis' Political Views by a clear Majority of Czech People, and several Converging Facts provoke legitimate Suspicions of probable Electoral Fraud Against him, (See Infra) !

Indeed, all the First Indications on the Electoral Date, when the Ballot Boxes Closed, was that Babis was clearly Winning the race, with his Big Party "ANO" (means "Yes !") coming clearly 1st, with Slightly Less than 30% of the Votes, and most probably due to Govern anew.

+ This was Expected to be done, with the conditional Cooperation, inter alia (See Infra), Also of an Atypical New Rightist Party, credited with about 10% of the Votes : that of "Freedom and Direct Democracy", (Created by Japan-Origin Tomio Okamura, mutatis-mutandis, as Also mainstream "PanEuropa" movement Founder, Coudenhove-Kallergi, Born at Tokyo by a Japanese Mother and a European, Austro-Hungarian Father), as well ns with a smaller and atypical, Old "Social-Democrat" Party. In fact, Prime Minister Babis had Succeeded to broker an Original Alliance between atypical Rightist and Leftist Parties ! (See Also Infra).

That's why he was Already Supported Even by an Historic "Communist" (sic !) Party, to which were Expected to be Added, this time (from 2021 Elections) Also Many Other Small Parties, particularly New ones :  Such, as, f.ex., of the "Oath", just Created by the former Attorney who had Denounced a Large Corruption in a Governing Party Back on 2013, Against which Babis Entered Politics for the 1st Time, Created his own Party ("ANO"), and Became Deputy Prime Minister, and Finance Minister, (i.e. a Potential new Ally, who Succeeded Now to Arrive 1st among All Small Partis !). As well as probably Supported and by anOther Small Party, which had just managed to Double its Voters : the "Free Citizens" Party, of an Atypical Right, until recently Member of Nigel Farage's Group of MEPs in EU Parliament. Perhaps Backed also by the Small Rightist Party "Free Block" or "Sovereignity", which has just Tripled his Votes between 2013 and 2021, (etc).

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

Facing them was Not Any Big Party at all, But Only 2 Coalitions, both composed from Various Medium or rather Small Parties, often of quite Different Orientations :

    - F.ex. the 3 Parties' Coalition "Together", with Two Center-Right Parties : The "Christian-Democrats", and  "Tradition" (alias "TOP 09"), as well as the Conservative "ODS" ("Civic Democratic") Party, whose Joint Results Approached Babis' Party Result.

    - Most Probably Allied to the Heteroclite "Pirates" and "various Mayors" (sic !) Coalition, simply Named "Pirates and Mayors" (re-sic !!), Expected to score a Little-bit More than the Above-mentioned Rightists of "Freedom and Direct Democracy", Babis' Allies (Comp.Supra).

+ But these Dispersed Opposition Parties had Obviously Exhausted their Political Forces on 2021, withOut Hope to Attract Any Eventual Ally among various Smaller Parties, (Except, perhaps, of the "Greens", who Fell Now Down to Less than Only ...0,9% (sic !) of the Votes, Becoming Irrelevant)...

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

=> Finally, (and Even taking into Account those Last-Minute Changes, UnExpectedly made by Late Counting and that Suspicious Last-Minute Slandering of Babis, with Fake Accusations : Comp. Supra + Infra), the Results of the Czech People's Votes were the Following :

- Leaning FOR Prime Minister Babis : His own Party "ANO" ("Yes") 27,13% (First in MPs : 72), + Atypical Rightists of "Democracy and Direct Democracy" 10%, New Party "Oath"  4,68%, "SocialDemocrats" 4,65%, "Communist" Party 3,60%, "Free Citizens" 2,76%, "Sovereignity/Free Block" 1,33%, etc. => i.e. a Total of an Absolute Majority of Czech People's casted valid Votes at about 54 % !

- Opposition AGAINST him : Coalition "Together" 27,79% (But Second in MPs: 71), Coalition "Pirates + Mayors" 15,61%, "Greens" 0,9%, etc. => I.e. a Total of an obvious Minority of People's Votes at about Only 44%...

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

>>> Nevertheless, a strange Late Counting of Ballots, Suddenly seems to have Systematicaly Altered, at the Last Minute, OverNight, severalé Initialy much More "pro-Babis" Czech People's Vote Results, (Comp. Supra), Pushing towards an Astonishingly Harsh Elimination of Many such Votes and Even of Too Many Small Political Parties, Old and New, Favorable to the current, embattled Czech Prime Minister :

- In Fact, ALL Small Parties which would Cooperate with Babis, Suddenly saw the Number of Ballots giving them Votes, Systematicaly Slashed, Reduced, Cut and Thrown Lower than the Crucial Threshhold of 5% Needed in order to have any MPs in the Parliament, as NEVER BEFORE in the History of the Country !

Indeed, f.ex., the "SocialDemocrats" (Part of Babis' Government) were thus Excluded from the Parliament, for the 1st Time since 1990 (i.e. practically Since the Fall of Berlin Wall) !... And the "Communist" Party of Czechia, (which Supported Babis' Government), was Also Excluded from the Parliament, for the 1st Time (Since the Liberation from the NAZIs) on 1945-1948 ! Even The Frontrunner, New and Biggest among All Kinds of Small Parties, the "Oath", (Created Now by the Attorney Famous for having Revealed the Largest Governemental Corruption in the Country, back on 2013 : Comp. Supra + Infra), was Excluded in an Identical way... Same Methods Abused also OverNight in order to Exclude anOther 2 or 3 pro-Babis' Small Parties, Old or New, (Comp. Supra).

=> Thus, a Total of More than 915.307 valid Votes casted by Czech Citizens, (Almost 1 Million of People), in a Country like Czechia, with just 10 Millions of Inhabitants, ie. the Equivalent of More than 17% of the Votes, something Like the 3rd Biggest Political Party in that Country, were Entirely Wiped Out of the Democratic System, just by that Strange, Last-Minute OverNight re-Counting of the Ballots, (a Notoriously too "Easy" Moment for Eventual Fraud)...

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

    + Remains, as Last Resort, the traditional and Crucial Decision of atypical and popular President Milos Zeman, on Whom he is Now going to Give an Official Mandate to try to Form the New Government of the Country.

    A Meeting between Zeman and Prime Miniser Babis had been Scheduled for Sunday, October 10. Popular President Zeman has Already given to Others and to Babis himself a Mandate to try to forge a Government Even with a Minority, at the Beginning, and has Vowed to Always choose the Head of the Biggest Party in the Parliament : I.e. Now too Babis' "ANO" ("Yes !"), which has Just Got the Biggest Number of MPs (72, instead of 71 for "Together"), and is a real Autonomous Party, Instead of a Mere Coalition of Smaller Parties, as those of the Opposition, (Comp. Supra).

    >>> But, Suddenly : - AnOther Last-Minute Patatrak ! The President of the Country, reportedly, is obliged to Enter in a Hospital, with his Health Suddenly Affected by UnKnown yet Events, for This precise Moment ! And Rccently, Suspecting a kind of Sympathy, between Zeman and Babis, the Opposition, and particularly the "Pirates", had Asked to Give a part of that Competence to Name a Prime Minister, instead, to the Speaker of the Parliament...

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

+ Meanwhile, however, it's Also the main Political Choices, made by the Czech People's Votes, which Reveal anOther Crystal-clear pro-Babis' positions Preference, by Droping his Most Fiercely Opposed Adversaries :

>>> Indeed, Even Among the Various Components of that Opposition's 2 Coalitions (Comp. Supra), the "Pirates", who were, Notoriously, the Most Aggressive Against Babis' Counter -  Massive Non-European, mainly Islamic Migration Policy, and were Accused by him to Push for LGBT Lobby Interests, "Same Sex" Marriage between Homosexuals, Drugs' Legalisation, and even to "Destroy the Visegrad Group" Alliance with Hungary, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, etc., Surprizingly Lost an Auful Lot of Votes and MPs, Falling Down to Only ... 4 MPs, (Instead of the 22 MPs they had Before), i.e. Losing - 18 MPs Less ! To the point that, If they were Not in Coalition with Various "Independent Mayors", they Might Even have been Excluded from the Parliament, (as having become a Too Small Party)...

+ In Addition, among the 3 Participants in the Other, "Together" Coalition of the Opposition, it's Not the 2 Center or "Center-Right" (EPP) Parties, But Only the "Conservative" Party of "ODS" (alias "Civic Democratic" Party), with its Anti-Mass Migration, Critical vis a vis the EU, and pro-Cultural Integration Policies, who Won the 1st Place. "ODS" is Also reportedly Favorable to a Cooperation with "ANO", in case Babis withdraws.

++ Moreover, the FrontRunner Party of the Opposition is Not Just Anyone : "ODS" (alias "Civic Democracy"), Indeed, was Governing the Country during ...the Biggest and Wider-Spread ever Scandal of Corruption in the whole History of Czechia, Back on 2013, when Even the Then Prime Minister himself, Together with Many Ministers, other Top Politicians, etc., had been Obliged, by a Growing Series of Damning Revelations and Scandalous Findings, to Quit, one after another, Until an Entirely New Governing Team was Elected to Replace them All, while Many had Already been Detained into Prisons, as profoundly Corrupted, in an alleged Plot to Influence the State for their Personal Enrichement... In the Meantime, about 400 Policemen had Raided the Government's Offices, and of various Top Lobbyists, Confiscated  Tens of Kgs in Gold, etc., as several Security Officers (even of the Military) were Accused for "Abuse of Power" and "Corruption", including for having Bribed MPs, Manipulated the Prime Minister's Wife, etc. Andrej Babis, originaly a Businesman, had notoriously Entered in Politics then, and Created his succesful Party "ANO", in order to, precisely, Fight against such kind of Widespead State Corruption (Comp. Supra).                                                             

=> In Consequence, (and given Also a Growing Number of various New Small Parties in Czechia, More radically Opposed to Mass Migration, EU Bureaucracy, LGBT, etc., that "Eurofora" had Not even the Time to Mention here), the Question seems Raised, Whether those who obviously Strived to Undermine Babis' Government, (Comp. Facts cited Supra), Might, Eventually, Soon Find themselves at an Even "Worse" Situation for their Interests, Than Before...

Benedict's "Source" to revitalize Europe : - "The World needs Hope", Pope says, calling to relaunch E.U. via Human Rights !

Paris - Lourdes - Strasbourg : 12 - 17 September 2008.

The vital need to re-launch Europe can be succesfully met by defending fundamental Human Rights of the People, said Pope Benedict XVI in his 1st speech in France, at his meeting with President Nicolas Sarkozy, who currently chairs the EU.

Sarkozy replied by welcoming Christian and other religions' contribution to indispensable Public Debates on crucial issues which affect Human Dignity, Europe, even Humankind, as BioGenetics.

- "When Europeans will see and personally experience that the inalienable Rights of the Human Person .., those of their free Education, their Family life, their Work, ..their Religious Rights, ..are respected and promoted, then, these Europeans will fully understand the greatness of the European construction and will be actively involved in it", Benedict XVI stressed.

- "It's important that during France's EU Presidency, there is, indeed, a desire for the Church to contribute to protect Human Person's integrity, and I think that there is also a growing Conscience, beyond any polemics, to defend Human Rights, and, thus, contribute to ensure respect for Human Dignity", added to "EuroFora" the Pope's Spokesman, Vatican's Press Director Federico Lombardi.

- "Nobody really told us here that Lisbon Treaty was good for this or that reason to the People. They only told us that we "had" to ratify it, and tried to scare us, but failed", said 2 Irish pilgrims to "EuroFora", after 2 Majority Abstentions in 1999 and 2004 EU Elections and 3 "NO" to Referenda in France and the Netherlands in 2005, followed by the Irish "No" in 2008, during a Decade of EU Crisis since the controversial Turkey EU- bid (1999-2008).

More than .."224 cases of Murders, Torture, "Disappearancies" or Destructions" by "agents of Turkish Security forces", where all those responsible for so heavy Crimes still remain scandalously unpunished, despite regular condemnations of Ankara by Strasbourg''s European Court of Human Rights from 1996 to 2008, were examined the same week by CoE's Ministers, who decided to launch a fresh call "urging" the Turkish Authorities to end this dangerous "virtual Impunity" of criminals, without comparison to European countries.

- "Why not Ukraine, instead of Turkey ?", asked EuroFora a Journalist from "Kiev : the city where it's enough to cross the streets in order to realize that it's a European town", as Sarkozy recently said, before solemnly declaring this week, together with Ukranian President Jushenko and EU Commission's chair Baroso, EU's "recognition that Ukraine is a fully European Country, linked to Europe by culture and History".

Europe's "Christian roots" and Values, with "openess and mutual respect" to other cultures and beliefs, were highlighted by Sarkozy in harmony with Benedict XVI.

The Human person should be protected "from his inception until his natural death", added the Pope, faithful to BioEthic principles defended by his predecessor and collaborator, John Paul II, of topical importance in France, Europe and the World today, as Sarkozy announced :

- "Fast and important progres in Genetic Science and procreation raise delicate BioEthical Questions to our Democracies", which "involve our view of Humans and Life, and can lead to Social Mutations. That's why they cannot remain only a business of experts", hestressed.

- "It's Politician's responsibility to set a proper framework for such Public Debates", as "France will do on BioEthics in 2009". "Religious and Philosophic traditions must take part, with their ideas and centuries' long experience : A positive Laicity is an open invitation to Dialogue", he said.

- "France engaged in Europe at another Debate on how to make Financial Capitalism more moral", and the "Social doctrine of the Church fits well what is at stake in modern Globalized Economy"

- "But, a "Real Dialogue is not for an elite of a Globalized world : It penetrates deep into the People : That's why Churches should actively participate : .. It's bringing New Oxygen to Public Debates", stressed Sarkozy.

- "Democracy must not be cut off Reason", which is "compatible with Faith", thanks to "the meeting between Christianism and Greek philosophy ", he added, referring to Pope's views. "It means to advance with logic arguments, search what's best and respect common principles of thinking :... It's an everyday need for Public Administration and the Political Debate", he added.
----------------------------
Pope Benedict's 1st visit to France looked like the start of a brillant, manifold demonstration that this was well-founded and could become true in the lives of the People : After its Theoretical foundations unfolded at a "speech to the world of Culture", inaugurating Bernadins' cultural centre, and its dogmatic instrument shaped at an address to the Clergy in the Historic Notre Dame' Cathedral, he started to resolutely reach out to the People :

dsc01185_400



The move went upwards like Bach's music : Begining with a call to more than fifteen thousand enthousiastic Youngsters gathered at Notre Dame's parvis with overnight celebrations, it gained strength in an impressive open-air Mass at Paris'central Invalides'area facing Alexander III's bridge, attended by more than 150.000 people, French Prime Minister Fillon, many Ministers, Foreign Ambassadors, etc, and culminated in a series of pan-European Mega-meetings at Lourdes 150th anniversary, together with all French Bishops, EU Commission's vice-Chairman Barrot, and some 200.000 enthousiastic People from all over Europe and beyond : After a Sea of Lights astonishingly braved Saturday Night's rain, an open-air mass at riverside fields among Pyrenees' Mountains Sunday Morning, was followed on Monday by a Sea of "Compassion" to those facing Health or Life threats, surrounded by an endless gathering of People, whose gigantic dimensions obviously surprised the organisers..

Meanwhile, Benedict had the occasion to speak to the French Priests at Notre Dame of Paris, and with the Bishops at Lourdes, where they prepare a crucial November plenary meeting, due to take important decisions on imminent EU debates and choices about Europe's identity, BioEthics, etc.
-------
- "A new way of thinking about Laicity has become necessary", agreed the Pope with President Sarkozy at Elysee. While keeping the "distinction between Politics and Religion, to guarantee Citizens' Liberty", "religion is important for shaping Consciousness and contributing, together with others, to create a basic Ethical Consensus in society".

- "Searching Essential realities", (as "God" for christians), needs "Speech : "Logos" in greek, i.e. Reason", "able to shape a Community","with creative work transforming Human History". But "Dialogue" is instrumental for "Reason", because it's the way to "search" for Truth", in "Liberty", according to Greek Platonic Philosophy, with Socrates' dialectics. "Reason" implies "Spirit and Liberty", hence the polyphonic "Music" of "Dialogue", in a responsible, "well balanced" way, to avoid "destruction".

Starting with a "Dialogue between christians and intellectual or artistic movements" highlighted at Bernardins' Cultural Center. with former Presidents Chirac and Giscard d'Estain, UNESCO's chair Anastassopoulos, etc., as well as representatives of Muslim Communities, (including a separate Turkish), after contacts with Jews at Vatican's Embassy, the Pope turned towards the People :

To French Priests : "Church built on the rock" !
---------------------

dsc01076_400


- Speaking to thousands of French Priests at Notre Dame's Cathedral, Benedict highlighted a solid "Church built on the Rock" of conscious and active persons, transmitting "a lively, energetic and sharp" "God's Speech, actively working on Human History".

"Praying together" with "representatives of Christian Churches and ecclesiastic communities", (as Orthodoxes, Armenians, Protestants, etc), he called "to reinforce the Unity of the church", against "any form of Division", around Holy Spirit', "the Word","Christ's Justice", and "Love" to fellow- humans : Essentials which "resume all holy scripts", as he said.

To Young People : "New Horizons"
------------------------
To some 15.000 enthousiastic Young People at Notre Dame's parvis, along Seine's river, Benedict spoke about "the Energy of the Holy Spirit" and "the Mystery of the Cross" : - "The Holy Spirit opens New Horizons to Human Intelligence .. and makes it conscious of the real greatness of Christ's sacrifice, dying and resurecting for World's life".

Some "may slander you as crazy, laugh at you, or even persecute you. But, "the Holy Cross is a symbol of God's love", and "givesmoral strength" : "Witness of People's pains, it's at the same time, a precious, unique expression of their Hopes", he told them at Paris' dawn.

Invalides' plateau : "People chosen to become God's friends"
---------------------------------------
At the 1st open-air Mass in Paris' center area of Invalides, facing the Grand Palais, along the river Seine, during an impressive gathering of more than 150.000, French Prime Minister Fillon, Ministers Alliot-Marie, Bachelot, Dati, Jouyet, Assembly's President Accoyer, Senate's Chair Poncelet, former 1st Lady Bernadette Chirac, former Prime Minister Raffarin, many foreign Ambassadors, and other political personalities were present. (While earlier, from the Socialist opposition, Paris' Mayor Delanoye, artist Robert Hussein a.o. assisted at the Elysee meeting).

But the "Entry Song" focused on the "People chosen to become God's Friends". The September 11 mass was Dedicated to "Saint Chrysostomus, that great priest of Constantinople", with his "wonderful eloquence and great courage to face challenges", who "made out of despaired and godless people, a people of brothers", opening a possibility to "become all one complete entity", as Pope Benedict reminded.

- "Reason never enters in real contradiction with Faith", stressed Pope Benedict, who prepared his speeches for France during a short Summer rest at Brixen/Bressanone's Seminar, whose Library honors both "Faith and Science".. - "We must use not only our Reason, but also our Faith" : "Get away from Idolatry", "cupidity", "avidity for money, power or even knowledge deviating from essential aims", and other "falses appearances". and "build your Home on the Rock", "with the force that Holy Spirit gives to those who let it act in them", he said to the People of Paris.

Benedict at Lourdes : - "Become Light (even) in the Dark !"
------------------------------------------------------------------
- "Our World needs Hope", stressed Pope Benedict, addressing an impressive TorchLight procession at Lourdes' sanctuaries, where a Sea of Lights held by Hundreds of Thousands of People gathered at Pyrenee's Mountains from all over Europe astonishingly kept their flames despite a heavy Rain at a windy Dark Night...

- "150 years earlier (1858 - 2008), ..here, in the cave, ... a simple young girl, Bernadette .. saw a Light". "The everyday life of her Family was, however, made of Misery, Sadness, Sickness, Misunderstandings, Rejection and Poverty... It was hard to live in Jail". Today, "we think to all Human Beings who suffer : The innocent Victims who face Violence, War, Terrorism, Hunger, Injustices, Catastrophes, Hate and Oppression, Violations of Human Dignity and of their fundamental Rights, of their Liberty to act and think. We also think to those who face Familial problems, sufferings from Unemployment, Sickness, Infirmity, Isolation, or their situation as Immigrants, without forgetting those who suffer and die for the name of Christ", he said.

- "But the Shadows of the Earth, did not hinder Sky's Light to shine : <<The Light shines in the Dark>>" ..."A Way full of Light opens in Human History even in its Darkest moments" : ..."As Night falls, Christ tels us : <<- Keep your Lamps alight !>>."Hold a Light while walking in the Night .. sums up our condition as Christians on their way : "We need light, and we are called to become Light !", Benedict stressed to People setting in motion Lights, Flags and Songs with enthousiasm.

"<<- She looked at me as a Person, who speaks to another Person>>, the poor girl had noted."Light emerges from such a Dialogue", stressed the Pope : "A small Flame called Hope, Compassion and Tenderness dwells inside those who return after being moved by Lourdes' experience". "Christ .. entrusts us with the Mission to let the Light of Charity shine : To make of our Prayers an Act of Love to our brothers and to Fraternal Charity", he concluded.
