EUParliament President Tajani to EF on Daphne Web Journalist Murder to Malta: Find Instigator Timely
*Strasbourg/EU Parliament/Angelo Marcopolo/- Questioned by "Eurofora" if he was aware of a Risk even for the underlings who executed the Bomb Murder of Independent and critical Web-News Journalist Daphne Caruana-Galizia on 2017 in Malta, to get out of jail in a few Months, if the Enquiry did not result in a Condamnation 18 Months after their arrest, EU Parliament's President, Antonio Tajani, replied that European level action is on its way in this regard,
(Comp. among others, also: http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/webjournalistmurder.html, + http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/euparliamentpresidentoncoeandjournalistmurder.html, + http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/daphnewebjournalistmurderenquiry.html, http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/daphnepressfreedomandcorruption.html, http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/rsfleaderondaphnemurderandjournalism.html, etc).
- "We are Working on that", soberly but promptly replied EU Parliament's President, (an Experienced former twice EU Commissioner, Top MEP and Italy's Foreign Minister) to the above-mentioned "Eurofora"s Question.
+ In Fact, "we (EU Parliament) are Asking" from the Maltese Authorities "to Find an punish those who are the Instigators of that Murder", Tajani firmly stressed to "Eurofora", going right to the Essentials in that pending affair.
=> I.e., by a Symbolic Coincidence, practically almost soon After the European Elections of May 2019, (around June or July 2019), Marking the Fact that Efficient Action on this Emblematic Affair is another Key "Test" for Europe in front of EU Citizens' eyes...
President Tajani had just chaired a Special Event in honor of the Victim's Memory, Togeher with her Family, earlier this week in EU Parliament's Press Conference Room in Strasbourg, which bears the Name of Daphne Caruana-Galizia, (as its Brussels' Press-Briefing Room has the Name of Russian Dissident Journalist Anna Politovskaya).
Paul Caruana-Galizia had been, moreover, Invited, earlier, in an EU Citizens' Consultation, for the "Europe of Justice"/Home Affairs' Future, organized by CEIFAC, the "European College of Financial and Criminal Investigations", headed by Strasbourg University's Professor Chantal Cutajar, (See also : ..., etc).
______________
- During the Debates, the Youngest Son of the Murdered Web-News Independent Journalist, had emotionaly expressed his Support to any adequate Advance of European Edification in these areas, "which might have Saved the Life of My Mother", as he characteristicaly said for possible new EU Tools such as, f.ex., an Enhanced EU Prosecutor, the creation of a European Criminal Court, more Transparency in trans-Border Business/Financial Transactions, etc.
-------------------------
>>> F.ex., among others, - "We don't even Know Today Who are the Owners" of a Controversial Private Medical Centers' Mega-Project reportedly linked to a "Global" Network, backed by a Minister of Health/Tourism suspected for Corruption by his Murdered Mother as Web-News Investigative Journalist, that this strange Maltese Politician was "still Suing in the Courts, attacking her (and/or her Family) even Now", i.e. after her Death, as Paul told "Eurofora" earlier. A Foreign, Non-European Project, with a quite Foggy content, eventually Linked also with a Legislative Reform in Medical/BioEthical Issues, pushed by the current Maltese Prime Minister, who notoriously is a Close Pal of that Minister...
+ Recently, on the sidelines of CoE's PanEuropean Assembly's Plenary Session at the Beginning of October 2018, "Eurofora" Met and Discussed in Strasbourg also with the International Cordinator of the "Daphne Project", Jules Giraudat from Paris, (a Journalist himself too), who is overseeing the organisation of a Collective Pilot Project for original Investigations on the Murdered independent Web Journalist's main areas of interest, seeking for those who Assassinated her.
- Giraudat told us that this International Group, (including also several Mainstream Newspapers, TV Channels and other Medias, throughout the World), was striving to Both to Continue those Original Press Investigations that the Murdered Web Journalist had initiated hershelf, and to Find and UnMask those who pushed at her Brutal Murder, probably, inter alia, also that they had, perhaps, thought that she was Weak because Alone : Something that this landmark Group of Active Solidarity among Journalists Publishing original and critical NewStories of General Interest for the Society, wants to Challenge in real practice.
In this regard, he found Interesting an apparently UnExplored yet, "New" concrete Area for Investigations, suggested by "Eurofora", according also to Daphne's own Authentic circle of interests, (in Addition, and, probably, in Liaison with the already well known ones : f.ex. "Panama Papers", Money Laundering, ordinary Corruption, etc).
+ Meanwhile, the Lawyers of the critical Assassinated Web Journalist's Family, Barrister Jonathan Price, from "Doughty Street Chambers", and Tony Murphy, from "Bhatt Murphy Solicitors", both from London, UK, mainly Focused on ECHR's well-established case-law about each CoE Member State's Obligations to try to Prevent and/or Persecute efficiently all those who Violate the Human Right to Life, (according to the relevant PanEuropean Convention's Article 2).
------------------------------------------------
=> During that CoE Assembly's "Side-Event", the PanEuropean Organisation for Human Rights, Democracy and Rule of Law's Rapporteur on Daphne's Murder, experienced Dutch ChristianDemocrat/EPP MEP, Peter Omtzigt, warned that Maltese Authorities claim that they have not yet found sufficient Evidence for a process, and confirmed his Intention to Visit anew Malta and organize, afterwards, a 2nd Hearing, (Comp., for the 1st such Hearing, at the CoE in Strasbourg, : ..., etc).

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).
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 )
