More LIGHT in 2017 ?
*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/- While new US President-elect, Don Trump, speaking from New York, has symbolicaly promissed to the American People, just after his November 2016 Surprize Win, that "the Forgotten Man and Woman, will Never be Forgotten Again", but "that We will all come Together, As Never Before",
shortly afterwards, in Europe, at EU Parliament in Strasbourg :
(1) Experienced Top mainstream ChristianDemocrat MEP Paul Rubig, Chairman of "PanEuropa" Group, Earlier this Month here, introduced an Event on bringing Bethleem's Christmas Light into EU Parliament in Strasbourg, by focusing mainly on a growing Need for "Peace" nowadays, particularly after the recent developments mainly in Syria, but also Ukraine, etc, and their manifold repercussions in Europe and elsewhere in the World.
(2) Long-time Minister of Justice in Austria, Wolfgang Brandstetter, speaking just after an Exceptional EU/CoE Meeting on Turkey's crisis in Strasbourg, stressed the importance it has for Europe and the whole World to really support "Human Rights" and Democratic "Values".
(3) EU Parliament vice-President Mairead McGuinness, from Ireland, speaking later-on to "Eurofora", at the Horizon also of the forthcoming 2019 new European Elections, said that, Nowadays, the Main Issue for MEPs "it's about the People" of Europe, "not so much the Parliament" itself. (See also other McGuinness relevant Statements, at : ...).
=> If some managed to simply Bring all that Together : I.e., "Peace", "Human Rights' Values", and European "People", by Combining it successfuly into one main Policy's inspirations, then, naturaly, many things would get much Better and Brighter during the New Year of 2017...
Wouldn't they ?
Just After that recent US Presidential Election, the 2 Biggest EU Countries, France and Germany, notoriously prepare Crucial Presidential and Parliamentary Elections during 2017, while, in addition to forthcoming Elections also in some other Key EU Countries such as the Netherlands, and Austria on 2018 (etc), Both CoE and the EU are due to Start Preparations for an exceptionaly important PanEuropean Heads of State/Government's Summit and EU Paliament's Elections (respectively) in the run-up towards 2019.
=> During this Exceptional Historic Period which has just Started Nowadays, obviously many "Lightings" will emerge from the various Ideological and other Debates and/or infights.
But : Shall we have real "LIGHT" ?...

Pierre Pflimlin's visionary line : Honouring the Memory of the man who wanted to build Europe on the Mountains, based on Spirit !
One of EuroFora's best inspirators is naturally Pierre Pflimlin :
We had a chance to personally meet the dynamic and experienced former President of both EU Parliament and CoE's Assembly, France's Prime Minister and Strasbourg's Mayor, only at his 90th anniversary, during an Historic speech at the Council of Europe, exceptionally full of people.
But his energetic figure looked more like a youngster of 19 years old, eager to win the Olympic games !..
Visionary, 2P was, from many points of view :
His daughter, Antoinette, Artist-decorator, and Senator Jung, President of a group of friends, confirmed us an Historian's revelation, that Pflimlin had initially the idea to build all European institutions (EU Parliament, Council of Europe, European Court of Human Rights, etc) at the spectacular heights of Oberhausbergen hills, with an eye-catching view of both French Vosges and German Black Forest Mountains, in the midst of a Forest : A real vision to create a brand New European Headquarters with a big ambition !
But, it seems, that "someone in Brussels" found that picture, precisely, too big for his taste, and threw a spanner on the works...
Pflimlin stroke back a Decade ago, at his Historic 1997 farewell speech :
He urged Europeans to find another, more substantial way, to lift Europe to more important Heights in Future :
- "On which basis can we imagine the birth of a great Europe ?", he asked.
"Certainly an Economic basis ! A solid market economy, meeting also the needs of social justice. A Political basis : Europe must become a strong Political Power, able to influence World's changes, naturally for Peace."
"But I believe that the essential foundation of a greater Europe should be of Spiritual nature : .... The great pacific Revolutions were Spiritual Victories" : They expressed "People's main motivation to live in a society with our Values of Liberty, Democracy, respect for Human Dignity".
"Then, the roadmap is ready : Yes, the foundation of the unity for a large Europe is the spiritual heritage, inspired by Christian Humanism and the Humanism of Renaissance, of Enlightenment, from which emerged a Civilisation focused on the Human person".
"Here is the task to be accomplished. It's very difficult".
"The Time approaches when I'll have to pass over the torchlight. God willing, this torch should enlighten the path of those who are going to build, tomorrow, the great Europe, marked by this Spirit".
(Extract from the Book "Pierre Pfilmin : Alsacian and European", 2007. Texts by Senator Louis Jung, by the long-time f. Director of Strasbourg's Newspaper DNA, Alain Howiller, and by f. EU Parliament's Press Director, Paul Collowald : See dedications, hand-written by the authors, the day the book for Pflimlin's 100th Aniversary was launched at Strasbourg's Press Club and European Parliamentary Association's headquarters, 13 April 2007).
