*Deauville/G8 Summit/Angelo Marcopolo/- (Humeur). Can Deauville, already known for its seaside Sunset, become also famous for its Sunrise ?

Well beyond its Monetary, Security, Development and other Political, etc. Global or Regional issues, in their 2011 gathering here, the elected Heads of State/Government from the 8 most Powerful Countries in the World, face  the challenge to stand up to their Reponsibilities vis a vis People and Humankind, by starting at least to debate and progressively settle also radicallu "New" questions, never seen before in a G8 Summit, such as the Principle which should guide, or not, Internet's Global Governance, and the Future that will be shaped for all involved by the still going-on Popular uprisings or revolutions in the 3rd Mediteranean and other Arab Countries.

In this regard, could anyone dream to mark this Deauville's 2011 G8 Summit as that where, what is mainly at stake, is "Freedom" in the Internet and in the 3rd Mediterranean and Arab Countries ?

An experienced counsellor of French President Sarkozy, the 2011 G8/G20's Chairman, speaking to "EuroFora", doesn't exclude it at all... - "It might happen, in substance, that, at the very end, it could go down in History as such", he positively highlighted.

In fact, it's already known that Sarkozy's original idea to start, for the 1st time in History, to include Internet Global Governance issues in the G8 Summit's Agenda was discussed with all his fellow Heads of State/Government, who accepted the principle, including naturally, first of all USA's President Obama (See our previous  publication on a relevant Sarkozy counsellor's statement to "EuroFora" at the eve of the French President's visit to Washington DC), who has just elaborated and official "Internet Strategy" for the U.S., only a few Days before Deauville's G8 Summit, as well as a Chinese diplomat's, in principle positive, recent sayings to "Eurofora", etc.

Thus, Internet's issues are scheduled for a special G8 Session, tomorrow, Thursday Afternoon, (which wil be followed by a Sarkozy's Press Conference). IF he succeeds to overcome some blunders inevitably committed by a "too comercial" agent inside a private event organizing business, (apparently too marked by a 2008 contract with .. Turkish Authorities paying to promote "Turkish culture" and assume the "Public Relations" of Turkey, followed even by open Economic support as "Mecene" for a whole Year Publicity toTurkey in 2010, one of the notoriously most Oppressive regimes in the World on Freedom of Expression at the Internet ! Facts which might easily explain some scandalous exclusions, negative "targetting"" of People, etc), as well as the "indifference" of Big Business' actors for Democratic/Human Rights' Socio-Political issues and Movements, already "noted by  several other, mainstream Media.

It's obvious that, in order to really succeed in Future,  the move should, on the contrary, also involve many other People, particularly among those who have a long and mostly succesful Experience of real Socio-Political struggles via Internet in various Countries all over Europe and/or the World, often risking to sacrifice even their Heath, Career, fortune, private/family Life, sometimes even personal liberty and/or Life itself, as various concrete examples have already shown, from Europe up to Asia and Africa, even in the USA, etc., winning several landmark battles via the Internet. This should, naturally, go together with the active involvement of several Serious Internet Experts (f.ex. on Legal issues related to Democracy and Human Right), In addition, Innovative ways should be explored (including, naturally, first of all, via Internet itself) in order to open New Possibilities for all genuinly interested Citiizens to freely Participate in such Debates. For that, it would be enough for Sarkozy to simply develop and reorientate his own precious Political Debate vital instict, in Real pluralist Forums before Important Decisions,  as he has already exchanged with "EuroFora" a.o. both shortly after the landmark 2007 French Presidential Elections, and just before the 2009 EU Parliament's Elections, that he both brillantly Won...           
----------------------

+ But, by a coincidence, at the same time, the spreading Popular uprises, sometimes met with Brutal and/or Deadly Violence by reluctant old Regimes, as in Libya and Syria, etc., became these Days so important that they will inevitably be also discussed in the Deauville G8 Summmit during the Morning Session of its 2nd Day, on Friday,

20110525_22.58.11_400

After this week's famous Sarkozy's statements against "Dictators" who "won't be able, no more, to Muzzle People at the Internet in total Silence by the International Community", (See earlier "EuroFora"s Pubication), an eventual Link between, these two, both evolving, Events might obviously be part of Deauville's 2011 G8 Summit, where, carefully guarded by some 12.000 Security a.o. staff, and followed by about 3.000 Journalists expected from all over the World, (at an International Press Centre equiped even with Ipads !), the Leaders of the 8 most powerful Countries in the World, already started to arrive :

20110525_23.15.32_400 

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

1rst or all, Russian President Dimitri Medvedev, just arrived at Deauville ahead of all others, apparently fond of its famous .. Sunsets, (that he had recently discovered in a Franco-Germano-Russian Trilateral Summit just a few Months ago : See "EuroFora"s previous publication on a statement by a Sarkozy's counsellor, in paralel with UNO's SG Ban Ki Moon's trip to Strasbourg, where we had been obliged to stay also for EU Parliament's session : + See UN SG Ban Ki Moon"s statements in reply to "EuroFora"s 2 Questions), he rightfully chose the precise, accurate Timing of a ...really splendid Wednesday evening Sunset, closely followed by Election Winner Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Meanwhile, apparrently fond of ...Paris, USA's former 1st Lady, and current Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, has aready arrived in France in order to be the Key-note Speaker at OECD's 50th Anniversary Summit, together with oher MInisters and/or Prime Ministers, (See yesterday's "EuroFora"s publication) while U.S. President Barack Obama himself, Symbolically preferred to start earlier a Long European trip since last Monday, crossing first through Ireland and the UK, where he's also due to revive his ..Irish  Family roots, so that he can make, late tomorrow morning, his .. "Normandy landing" from the right side of the channel.

German Chancellor Angie Merkel, who might have inspired his inseparable friend, the French President Nicolas Sarkozy, (due to arrive tomorrow from early Morning), to choose a splendid Seaside Natural area, with Long, Sandy Coasts, as she had done herself, back on the 2007 G8 Summit in Heiligendam (a Baltic Sea ressort at Northern Germany), being the only Lady of the 2011 G8 Deauville Summit, naturally arrives .. after all others, due to welcome her tommorrow, on Thursday Noon.

But, new Brittish Prime Minister David Cameroon, jumps over the Manche channel as early as since 9 o'clock, being the 1st to arrive tomorrow Morning, apparenty eager to accept, at last, the symbolic, silent sinvitation that French President Sarkozy had implicitly launched to the new UK leader, when he had taken the Surprising but Spectacular Decision to host, a  few Months earlier, a Trilateral Franco-Germano-Russian Summit, curiously, Not towards the North-Eastern part of the France, but, on the contrary, at one of its most .. Western standing areas, right in front of the U.K...

He might face a "competition", Japanese sources told "EuroFora",  for the 1st, earliest arrival tomorrow, Thursday Morning, by Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan, who was, together with Hillary Clinton (See supra) at nearby Paris, to participate to OECD's 50th Anniversary Summit, (See "EuroFora"s NewsReport from the spot).

Meanwhile, almost together with Sarkozy (see Supra), arrive, just after 10 o'clock, both EU Commission's President, José Barroso, and Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, apparently also for  probable bilateral talks with "Sarko" which might be related also with developments in the Mediterranean

Most probably, nobody really knows (except , perhaps, from Sarkozy himself, who is the only one to have spoken with all other 7 G8 Leaders on these 2 issues : See supra), igf they are al fully Consious of what is really at stake in these 2 interrelated and parallely evolving issues (Comp. supra), and what the Final Outcome of the 2011 Deauville G8 Summit might be.


And, of course, RealPolitics, are a... "Wild World", as the famous, good old Cat Stevens' "classic" Song warned...

But a Claim is always a claim, which generates, even by itself, at least some concrete effects, as it is well known to be done, in one way or another, in the Media, in Law and/or Ideologies.

And, in this regard, nobody sould underestimate also the Factor of .. "My People", as Cat Stevens added recently, in a contemporary New Song, currently distributed for "Free" at the Internet, inspired by and dedicated to the Mediterranean/Arab Popular Movements...

 [NDLR : Our Christian roots and horizons, naturally protest against the fact that Stevens was later led to become Musim back on 1977, but it's obviously good that he reportedly condemned the 9/11 Deadly Barbary, by simply and profoundly stressing that "whoever kills an Innocent, harms all Humanity". And, meanwhile, things seem rather settled now, with "Equality" going both ways, as "EuroFora" recently heard even n ..

*Paris/ACM/12 October 2008/-

When Europeans really feel a vital need to urgently launch common replies to challenging World Crisis, as the present Financial turmoil of Global Markets, they forge new decision-making tools and new dynamics :

The 1st in History EuroZone Heads of State and Government Summit, organized in Paris at the invitation of French President, and current EU chair, Nicolas Sarkozy, with the participation of 15 national leaders and EU institutions' chairmen, partly enlarged to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, after a highly symbolic duo with German Chancelor Angie Merkel, at General De Gaulle's birth-village, 50 Years after he welcomed there former German chancellor Adenauer (1958-2008), may have not one, but two results :

- The first, and more urgent, was to launch an "ambitious", "coherent", and "efficient" common European movement, able to stimulate "solutions" to the World Economic Crisis, as Sarkozy anounced from the outset : State Garantees (to new Bank debts up to 5 years), fresh Capital input (f.ex. by buying shares), support to distressed banks, (while also restructuring them), incite the European Central Bank to facilitate commerial bills europe-wide, etc.

"Acting swiftly", from tomorrow, national measures will quantify all these targets, with coordinated actions from all EuroZone's Governments : France, Germany, Italy and others, decided to anounce, at the same time, such concrete measures, according to agreements that we have already made all together, revealed Sarkozy at the final Press Conference, flanked by EuroZone's chairmen : EuroGroup's Jean-Claude Juncker, and Central European Bank's Jean-Claude Truchet, as well as EU Commission's Jose Baroso, to solemnly stress the will to find common European solutions.

- "United and Determined, all EuroZone's Countries will act to prove that Citizens can Trust" the Economy, Sarkozy concluded. If we attract also all EU's 27 countries, Wednesday in Brussels, then we can coordinate action with our American Friends at a Global level, he anounced.

- "With this new Toolbox, we do not want to serve Bankers, but to work for Europe and its Citizens' interests", added Juncker.

- "For the moment, we want to act urgently to regulate the Crisis. But the time will come when those responsible for this, will have to account for their actions. Yes to real Capitalism, No to Speculators. Those who abused, will face sanctions, Sarkozy warned.


Need stimulates activities which create new organs, say biologists, and Gordon Brown, compatriot of Spencer, the famous bio-Historian, would certainly not deny that, after his surprise visit to EuroZone's Summit in Paris, which attracted him one hour more than scheduled...

Decisions include also the creation of a Crisis-management European mechanism, which "requires constant Monitoring", as well as strengthening Economic policy cooperation between EuroZone's countries.

Sarkozy will be judged by History not just by the immediate Economic results, expected at the end of this week's decision-making proces at National and EU level, but also by the more far-reaching consequences at the aftermath of this Historic EuroZone 1st Summit : Will it succeed to become a precursor forging a New era in European institution's revitalization ?

Significantly, the French President sat, during discussions, between German Chancelor Merkel, and British Prime Minister Brown, facing the chairmen of EuroGroup, Juncker, ECB : Truchet, and EU Commission, Baroso, with Prime Ministers of Spain, Zapatero (a hot partisan of EuroZone's Summit) at his right side, and Italy's Berlusconi, at his left, surrounded by Austrian, Belgian, Cyprus', Finland's, Greece's, and Ireland's leaders, as well as Slovakia's, Slovenia's, Portugal's, Netherlands', Malta's and Luxembourg's leaders.

Meanwhile, those who tabled for a rift between French and German positions were faced with a smiling Merkel at De Gaulle-Adenauer's meeting place, a sunny Saturday morning, and a particularly active-looking Merkel inside the French Presidential Palace at Elysee's gardens on Sunday, (as happy few photographers discovered)..

- "De Gaulle's hilltop, at Colombey-les-2-Eglises, gave an astonishing overview to a huge landscape, entirely surrounded by splendid Nature, as far as eyes could see", said to EuroFora an obviously charmed German Journalist.

She was describing Saturday's inauguration of a High-Tech Memorial close to the Historic Giant Double Lorraine's Cross, built by famous Novelist Andre Malraux, to perpetuate the Memory of his famous call for "Resistance" to NAZI, and his vision for the creation of New Institutions and Franco-German reconciliation, to foster Europe's role in the World, also for the Future.
