+ De Gaule's "Great Europe", including Russia, should be ReVived !
*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/- As CoFoE's 4rth Panel of Citizens, on "EU in the World" is unfolding these Days for a 2nd Time (26-28/11/2021), "Eurofora" firmly believes that Recent Developments (f.ex. azound Belarus, Ukraine, France and Germany, EU and USA,, etc.) call for a Change, by Returning Back to the Fundamentals :
Russia of Christianism and Cyrilic Alphabet, Tolstoi, Dostoyevski, Poushkin, Majakovski, Soshtakovich, Chaikovsky, Eisenstein, Leningrad/Saint Petersburg, Stalingrad/Volgograd, Kalina maya, Bolshoi, Russian Sports and Chess, Laika, Gagarin, Andrei Tarkovsky, Soyouz, (etc), are part of Our European History, Identity, Continent, and Future.
Initialy called "the Road from Greeks to the Skandinavians", Russia joined Poland, Lithuania, Germans, Venice, the Vatican and Others in a succesful "Holly Alliance" to Free Europe from the Turkish Ottoman Invasion/Occupation, Fought Together with France and England at Navarino Victory (1828), Won against NAZIsm in Eastern Europe, became integral part of De Gaulle's "Great Europe", served "Detente" after Helsinki Summit, became CoE's Member during Mitterand, formed the "Trilateral" : "France-Germany-Russia" with Chirac-Kohl-Yeltsin etc. since 1998, created "Mir" (Peace) Space Station (+prepares now "ROSS"), Helped Syria face ISIL's a.o. Islamist Terrorists cowardly Killing Civilians, (etc).
If the EU kept Friendly Links with Russia, Europe's PIB Growth would be Boosted, ESA would have a SpaceCraft (that even USA hasN't), Europeans would be since the 2000s already on Mars and Exploring Space, a TTGV could Link Madrid/Paris/Berlin/Varsaw/Moscow to Vladivostok/Beizing/Shanghai, Great Europe would Control its Neighborhood, and might have Jointly Invented Cure + Vaccine against the Deadly Virus, (etc).
=> But a 2014 Foreign Intervention in Ukraine, Snipers killing a Peace Deal, Civil War, etc.,have, meanwhile, Divided Europe...
It's Time for this to Stop !

- "Europe must be liberated from this undermining "wooden talk" of a "unique thought" which hampers democratic debates", stressed incoming EU Chairman, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, speaking to Journalists after his official meeting with EU Commission's President, Jose Barroso, at Elysee Palace in Paris
- "It's precisely because there are not enough Debates, that EU hasn't managed yet to make it clear to European citizens what is really at stake", he added, in an obvious reference to the latest Irish "No" in 2008, after a long series of similar, unprecedented events, from the 1st Majority Abstention to EU Parliament's Elections in 1999, repeated in 2004, to the Dutch and French "No" in 2005, etc.

- "This is not an easy period, but we shall act with determination, while also listening to Citizens' views", he promised.
Sarkozy's move came shortly before his opening Speech, next week in EU Parliament in Strasbourg, for the first Public Debate on the Priorities of the French EU Presidency (July - December 2008), and that's one of the reasons for which he significantly opened his EU Council's Chairmanship by welcoming at Elysee palace EU Parliament's President, German MEP Hans Gert Poettering at first..
The incoming EU Chairman was replying to Press Questions about rumours that controversial British EU Commissioner on Trade, Mandelson, was alone to drop an invitation to have a working Diner at Elysee palace, together with all other EU Commissioners and the French Government, only because he would have been upset for some critical points made earlier by President Sarkozy in defense of European Agriculture vis-a-vis its Foreign competitors.
But, as smiling Sarkozy played down Mandelson's reported refusal to debate, saying that he had to visit Marseille for a Ministerial meeting on Trade the next morning, and that "all our British friends are always welcome to taste a nice diner" in France, perhaps at another occasion..
- "It's urgent to win anew the trust of the People" : Lately, "the European ideal lost its momentum. Since several years, whenever Citizens are questioned on Europe, they react with reserves : They even have .. a tendency to reply "NO".. After this 3rd "No" of a People in some years, there is an Urgency to convince", added French Prime Minister Francois Fillon, after a meeting earlier the same day of all Ministers with EU Commissioners, followed by an interview with Barroso
"According to recent Polls, only 30% of French people believe that the European construction is a source of hope. It's only a poll, but we all now quite well, that, since 2005, it's dangerous to neglect these alarming signals, as it would be dangerous to treat with contempt the Irish "No", Fillon warned.
"We all have a common duty to prove to the European Citizens who have doubts, that EU is more useful, more necessary, than ever" : And "that EU can take decisions needed in order to respond to European or Global challenges", the Prime Minister concluded.
- "We believe, together with President Sarkozy, that EU should open debates on all issues of direct, concrete interest to Citizens", confirmed later to EuroFora the Head of France's governing party (UMP), Patrick Devedjan, after his speech to the European People's party (EPP) Study Days in Paris (2 - 4 July 2008).
He didn't deny that one of them is Turkey : - "Public Opinion in France is very much unfavorable to Turkey's EU bid, and President Sarkozy has said that several times", he told EuroFora.
From European Central Bank's controversial policies on Euro's value, to EU Enlargement Strategy, etc., issues of obvious importance to EU Citizens will be plenty, next week in EU Parliament in Strasbourg, before President Sarkozy launches the debates on EU 2008 French chairmanship's priorities on Thursday.
