EURapporteur on WhistleBlowers French MEP Roziere to EF: Assange should be Protected !

*Strasbourg/EU Parliament/Angelo Marcopolo/- In Principle, Assange should be given an Asylum in Europe, from Extradition to the US, Replied bis to an "Eurofora"s Question the EU Parliament's Rapporteur on WhistleBlowers' Protection, Virginie Roziere, French Radical/Socialist (Center-Left) MEP.
---------------
- "According to Press Reports, the New French State Secretary on EU Affairs, (Amélie de Montchalin), would have declared that it should be considered whether to give Assange an Asylum in Europe, in case of Extradition demand. Even if this may not be foreseen yet by the current EU Law on WhistleBlowers (which, for the moment, limits Protection in cases of Natural Environment, Corruption, etc), de lege lata, at least, "de lege ferenda", and from a Political (principles') point of view, according to your Experience, (also as EU Parliament's Rapporteur on WhistleBowers' Protection), what do you honestly think that should be done in this case ? Should there be any Protection from a European side, or should he be Extradited ?", we asked.
+ Taking also into account the Fact that, "in this case, it's a very Particular affair, because it's not only about someone who reveals a truth, or not, but also about Helping, in addition, Others to reveal" certain truths : "It has a Double Aspect", (from the WhistleBlowers' point of view), "Eurofora" observed, as far as "Wikileaks" Founder and Editor is concerned.
--------------------
- Indeed, "if we Focus on the Spirit, and the Political Aim of the Law (EU Directive) that we (EU Parliament) Voted Today, Julien Assange should be Protected !", EU Parliament's Rapporteur on WhistleBlowers clearly Replied positively to the above-mentioned "Eurofora"s question.
- This "should be done by some (EU) Member States, because Asylum is given by States, not by the EU itself", she technically reminded in this egard.
- "Perhaps, the EU should Find a Member State to give Asylum to Julian Assange, while being Supported by many Others" (EU Countries+), she practically suggested. "Because, in such kind of issues, often individual States Hesitate to indispose alone such an important international partner as the USA".
- Thus, at any case, "Yes, I think that, indeed, We Should effectively give him an Asylum, regarding USA's demand for Extradition !", EU Parliament's Rapporteur on WhistleBlowers positively Confirmed, in her reply to the above-mentioned "Eurofora"s Question.
--------------------------------------
- However, "I'd give a Different Opinion on Sweden's demand, which is a European Country, and well Advanced on WhistleBlowers' Protection, so that it's not so much Suspected from this point of view, and, for Sweden, the point is about (alleged) Rape and Sexual Relation, and even WhistleBlowers should have to Reply to Justice vis a vis such kind of Accusations, so that I find normal for Assange to Explain himself vis a vis the Swedish Courts", she added, from a Different point of view.
- "But, there, we are Far Away from the issues of (EU's Directive on) WhistleBlowers, and we are facing issues of Ordinary Law", she concluded.
----------------------
+ Asking and Receiving by EU's Rapporteur the chance to Add an Observation, as far as the Main thrust about Asylum from Extradition to the US was concerned, "Eurofora" noted the Fact that, "also in the USA, there is a Debate about Assange, where Contradictions exist at all political sides, even inside the Governing political family.
>>> Indeed, f.ex., at the mainstream Conservative NewsMedia "Fox News", the popular Journalist, (allegedly Favorite also of new US President Don Trump), Tucker Carlson, stressed, in a Special Edition focused on "Wikileaks"' Founder, that, in fact, ""Assange’s real sin was preventing Hillary Clinton from becoming President", (when she was Candidate of the "Socialists"/Democrats, back on 2016)...
=> Therefore, eventual "Suspicions" (of eventual Political bias) may obviously exist also vis a vis the Swedish "Socialist" current Goverment, (considering, in addition, the fact that former US President Barack Hussein Obama, had notoriusly used tha Swedish pretext as a way to Trap "Wikileaks"' Founder, since he was afraid that Freedom of Speech principles might Oppose a Condemnation in the US)...
At any case, Assange's UK Lawyer reportedly promised that he would accept to give thorough explanations and reply to eventual questions, if Sweden decided to re-open a closed procedure of the Past.
That affair reportedly concerned short relations, withOut any Violence at all, (but focusing on alleged Preventive Health protection matters, particular to the Swedish Law), at an exceptional moment, when Assange's Credit Cards had been Blocked by Obama's US Administration, so that, while visitng Sweden for Public Conferences, he found himself Deprived even from spare Money to Pay Hotels of his choice, and practically obliged to accept the Invitations of 2 Swedish women, who allegedly assaulted him, and one even Boasted, afterwards, to a friend, that she had managed to "Get" Assange...
Later-on, the Swedish Authorities had Stopped any Procedure against Assange, while UNO's Human Rights bodies, at nearby Geneva, have notoriously Judged that the Forced Refuge at Ecuador's Embassy in London, (precisely in order to Escape fro Sweden's demand of extradition, Behind which "Wiileaks" suspected that was Hidden Obama's USA : Comp. Supra), during Many Years, was a blatant Violation of his basic Human Rights, and had already started to Harm his own Health, after being obliged to live in reclusion, without any Freedom to move, during so many Years.

*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.
