French Assembly President Bartolone to EuroFora: Human Rights Values important for Europe's Future

*Strasbourg/CoE/Angelo Marcopolo/- Citizens' basic Freedoms and Human Rights' respect is of fundamental importance for the Future of Europe stressed in reply to an "EuroFora" question the new President of France's National Assembly, Claude Bartolone, after crucial PanEuropean debates at the CoE.
The new French Assembly's President reacted immediately positively to an "EuroFora"s question on the potential importance of basic Human Rights' respect as a means to overcome the recent "Crisis" of representative Parliamentary Democracy also by developing Parliament's potentially effective role in helping to ensure the effective implementation of ECHR's judgements in real practice :
- "Certainly : Europe cannot speak to Citizens only through Economic issues", Bartolone replied from the start.
- Simply because, already from the start, "Europe wasn't build only on the idea of allowing a free movement of Merchandises", as he observed, speaking at the CoE, near the ECHR.
+ Indeed,"there are also (Political) Values of Freedom and Democracy, which were at the origins of the European construction", the French Assembly's President reminded.
- "And they should find anew all their importance, also today and in the Future", he stressed in conclusion.
- Because "this Europe of Values, is of Fundamental importance", as President Bartolone pointed out earlier.

=> - "The Europe of the 21st Century must be the Europe of Human Rights and of Citizens' Freedom", he optimistically stressed with voluntarism, speaking at the conclusion of CoE's 2012 Bi-Annual Summit of Parliament's Presidents in Strasbourg.
------------------
He was welcomed earlied by his compatriot and friend, CoE Assembly's President Jean-Claude Mignon, who anounced also that, after these days' debates in Strasbourg on the above mentioned issues, the PanEuropean Summit of Parliaments' Presidents intends to work, during the next 2 years also in order to find innovative ways to let Citizens have a chance to express their views, not only each 5 years, just in Elections, but also everyy time that important decisions are going to be taken by Public Auhorities :

- For that purpose, Parliaments should use any efficient and adequate, "Innovative" measure, f.ex. the Internet, Social Media and Forums, etc., be it through Referenda, Citizens' Initiatives, etc., and/or otherwise, the experienced President of CoE's PanEuropean Assembly suggested in conclusion, resuming several such ideas expressed by various National Parliament Presidents these 2 last Days in Strasbourg.

Brixen-Bressnone/ACM/10 August 2008
Pope Benedict XVI launched a call "in the name of the common Christian heritage" of "all Christians", to "immediately stop military actions", and "resolutely take, the road of negotiation and dialogue", with "Initiatives" for a "peaceful and sustainable solution" in South Ossetia.
It's with "profound anxiety" that we read "the news, more and more dramatic", on "these tragic events ..which have caused many innocent victims and obliged a great number of civilians to leave their homes". All involved must "avoid to cause more, and worse sufferings to the population", he said.
He warned against "more violent confrontations and retaliations, which may degenerate in a conflict of even larger scope".
To avoid this risk, "the International Community and the most inffuent countries" should "make every effort to support and promote .. initiatives" for a stable Peace, he stressed, shortly before his visit to France, where President Nicolas Sarkozy is the current EU chair.
"Together with our Orthodox brothers, we pray for these aims, and we entrust them to the intercession of her sanctity, virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus and of all Christians", he concluded.
Pope Benedict XVI spoke in front of more than 12.000 People during the Angelus of an Open-air Mass at Brixen-Bressalone (north of Italy), at the end of his short stay at the Alpes, close to German chancelor Angie Merkel's restplace, where he received the visits of two f.Italian Presidents, Ciampi and Cossiga, together with Minister Tremonti.
Pope's spokesman, Federico Lombardi, said ttesterday that he highlighted Brixen-Bressanone's synthesis, a peaceful and mutually enriching meeting point of many cultures, as "a model for Europe".
