*Brussels/EU Summit/Angelo Marcopolo/- The Incoming EU President for the Period of July-December 2016, Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, (an Atypical Socialist, known for his Strong and Popular Views), Replying to an "Eurofora" Question, during a Press Conference in Brussels at the Conclusion of the June 2016 EU Heads of States/Governments' Summit, Didn't Exclude, in Fact, that either BREXIT itself, and/or Other Similarly Negative Reactions also by Various Other EU Member States, Could be Prevented IF the EU Changed its current Migration Policy, in order to Adopt a New and More Adequate one, Closer to EU Citizens' wishes. Otherwise, there might even be More Reactions, also by "Many" Other EU Member States, he Warned.


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


    - "Eurofora" asked Prime Minister Fico Whether he Believed that If the Policies that he had Advised, as well as several Other Heads of State/Government, on the Migration Crisis, Christian Roots of Europe and Social Cohesion, etc., Perhaps, this Might have Contributed to Help Prevent the BREXIT Outcome on the Recent British Referendum, given that such Issues were, precisely Included among the matters notoriously Discuessed by the British People, and/or, Moreover, Help Prevent any eventually Similar Reaction, mutatis- mutandis,s by any other among EU's remaining 27 Member States in the foreseable Future.


    - "I don"t want to Speculate", at least as far as the British Referendum is concerned, started to Reply Fico to "Eurofora"'s Question, as a matter of General Principles, as far as the Past is concerned.


    - "But", one thing is Sure : "Really, My Position is that We (EU) Have to Change our Migration Policy !", the Incoming EU President stressed.


    - Because, "If Not",(i.e. if it doesN't Change, then), "I thing that it's Many (EU) Countries and Governments that are Going to Have Problems", he Warned.


    - "That's why my Understanding is that we (EU) can't continue the Current Migration Policy", Prime Minister Fico concluded.


    => "So, From this Situation,, You can deduce an Answer to your Question", he observeds, as far as "Eurofora"s above mentioned Query is concerned, (Comp. Supra).


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


+ Meanwhile, EU Heads of State/Government Summitsl, had placed Migration Policy at the Forefront of its this Summit's initial Agenda, particularly as far as the Controversial and UnPopular EU - Turkey Migration Deal is concerned.


But UK's BREXIT Developments Pushed that to the BackGround : More than Half of this Summit was Consecrated to BREXIT (the 2nd Day and the Working Diner of the 1st), leaving Only 3 or so Hours during the 1st Day, which were Largely Consumed by at least 3 Different Reports from NATO SG, EU's High Representative on External Relations, Federica Mogerini, (who presented her Draft "Strategy for EU Foreign and Security Policy"), and CEBanks' President Mario Dragi.


In consequence, 28 Democraticaly Elected by the Peuple's Direct Vote, Heads of State/Government hadn't been left but .... Less than Half an Hour, in order to Discuss Recent Developments on EU Migration Policy, All Together,  i.e. Present Facts, Exchange Views, and Discuss Possible Solutions in such a Delicate and Complicated Issue,; in Less than 1 Minute Each  !


That's why EU Council President Donald Tusk had already been Obliged to "Propose", in his "Invitation Letter" to the 28 EU Members, to Simply .... "Adopt" the Draft "Conclusions", i.e. omething "which Should be Possible, given the good Preparatory Work concluded" by Technocrats, even Before Heads of State/Government Asrrive in Brussels, in other words : Obviously, Without any High Political Level real Debate...

Thus, a relevant but clear Hasty Question by "Eurofora", Earlier Today, to the Experienced, New EU Commission's President, Jean-Claude Juncker, former Long-Time Prime Minister of Luxelmbourg and €uroGroup's Chairman, while he passed by, Together with EU Council's President, Donald Tusk, with a Large Smile, and Saluting us, Exceptionaly, remained without any Explicit Response, Contrary to the Usual Habit and Capacity of Juncker to Gives as various Sharp, Short, Fast and Smart Replies to various Other "Thorny" Questions, (Comp, among others, f.ex. : .....)


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


However, already, a Recent Development inside Top EU Institutions was that those "Conclusions" have, for the 1st Time, Started to Acknowledge the Fact (First Denounced by "Eurofora"s relevant Critical Publication of: http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/unpopulareuvisafreefor80millionsturksuseless.html), that Turkey's Controversial and UnPopular "Deal" with the EU had Not even Started to Operate when the Curb of Mass Arrivals through Turkey and via Greece, had Already been Pushed to Fall Down in Dramatic Proportions, leaving only a Comparatively Minor Part, Because of Previous European ReActions and various Measures on the  Balkan Routes :

Mainly the "Full Application of the Schengen Borders' Code", and "the Closure" of Balkan Route's Borders,  Already as Early as Since Mid-February and Early March 2016, as an Eloquent, June  2016s EU Graphic clearly shows, (Comp. Photo)..

(Opinion).

 In Democracy, the forthcoming choices for EU's Top Jobs, as the New EU Parliament's President, new EU Commission's President (+ probably EU Council's President, EU Foreign Minister, etc) should be made according to EU Citizens' Votes in June 7, 2009 European Elections, and main EU Governments' strategic policies.

At the heart of the biggest EU Countries, in France and Germany, EU Citizens clearly voted for a renovated, non-technocratic but Political Europe based on Values, declared explicitly incompatible with Turkey's controversial EU bid.

This main choice was also supported in several other small or medium EU Countries, such as Austria (cf. promise of a Referendum), Spain (cf. EPP program's reservations vis a vis Enlargment), etc., while EPP Parties won also in Poland, Hungary, Cyprus, etc.

In other Countries, whenever Governing coalitions didn't make these choices or eluded them, continuing to let a Turkish lobby push for its entry into the EU, they paid a high price, and risked to damage Europe, by obliging EU Citizens to massively vote for euro-Sceptics whenever they were the only ones to offer a possibility to promise  real change and oppose Turkey's demand to enter into the EU :

It's for this obvious reason that British UKIP (IndDem) succeeded now (after many statements against Turkey's EU bid) to become Great Britain's 2nd Party, unexpectedly growing bigger even than the Governing Labour Party, as well as the Liberal party  ! Facts prove that it's not an isolated phenomenon : A similar development occured in the Netherlands, where Geert Wilders "Party for Freedom" (PVV) became also the 2nd biggest in the country, (after EPP), boosting the chances of a politician who had withdrawn in 2004 from an older party "because he didn't agree with their position on Turkey". And in several other EU Member Countries, even previously small parties which now focused on a struggle against Turkey's controversial demand to enter in the EU, won much more or even doubled the number of their MEPs (fex. Bulgaria, Hungary, Greece, etc).

On the contrary, whenever Socialist and oher parties were explicitly or implicitly for Turkey's controversial EU bid, they obviously lost Citizens' votes and fell down to an unprecedented low.

In consequence, EU Citizens clearly revealed their main political choices, in one way or another : They voted to change for less Bureaucracy, but more Politics and Values in a Europe really open to EU Citizens, but without Turkey's controversial EU bid.

Recent political developments are obviously different from the old political landscape which existed in the Past of 1999-2004, when Socialists based on Turkish 1% vote governed undisputed not only in Germany, but also in the UK, Greece and elsewhere, France followed old policies decided when it had been divided by "cohabitation", before the 3 "NO" to EU  Referenda since May 2005, before Merkel, before Sarkozy, etc.... before the surprises of 7 June 2009 new EU Elections.

If the current candidates to the Top EU jobs promise and guarantee to respect People's democratic choices, OK.

Otherwise, Europe must find new candidates, really motivated and able to implement these democratic choices of the People.

The beginning of crucial, final Decisions are scheduled for the 1st EU Parliament's plenary session in Strasbourg, in the middle of July, and they could be completed towards the October session, when Lisbon Treaty's fate will have been fixed.
