Macron - Russia (after EU Summit) : Leave Door Open !
*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/(Partly Updated)/- While it's obviously Hard Times for those who believe in De Gaule's Historic "Great Europe", nevertheless, the current tension in the Clash between USA and Russia over Ukraine, as a pretext to Divide ad downgrade Europeans, unveals some Key Insights on Our Continent's past and future :
Despite a lot of "Condemnations" and more Economic "Sanctions", added to "War'-like talk, by most EU and particularly USA Establishments, French President Emmanuel Macron, who currently Chairs the EU for the Jan - June 2022 Period, Concluded the main Press-Conference of an extraordinary Brussels EU Heads of State/Government Summit overnight by stressing that : - "It's my Duty to leave the Door Open", (vis a vis Moscow), ...for when we find the Right Time to Cease Hotilities for the benefit of all People of Ukraine", (i.e. Both Sides, including Russian-Speaking Dissident Eastern Areas).
Except some Vague Claims against Alleged "Inaccurate" or "Bad Excuses", (withOut specifying), EU Officials, curiously, did Not clearly challenge Denonciations about More than "50.000" Shellings allegedly Hitting suddenly the Pro-Russian Regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, etc., in Eastern Ukraine, Neither about Massive Refugee Displacements seeking Shelter at nearby Russia, etc., among a Civil Population which has Notoriously Suffered a lot, (including by Destroyed Family Homes, Wounded or Killed People, etc), already since 2014-2015+, (until 2 Victorious Offensives convinced Kiev's Putchists to Sign the "Minsk" Agreements, which Ask for a Regional Autonomy in pro-Russian areas, similar to those existing in Germany, Italy, Spain, or the UK, etc, that Kiev's Centralists have Notoriously Skiped, under various pretexts, during 7 Years, until now : 2015-2022).
In consequence, Nowadays (2022) Russian move to, subsequently, Recognize the "Independence" of breakaway Regions Donetsk - Luhansk, (after several public Referenda and popular Elections in those Areas, with Huge Participation from the concerned People), was presented as the only peaceful remaining way to Prevent more Tragedies, Exclusion and Humiliations of the local Population. Turkey has Already done so, in Northern Territories of Cyprus, since 1983 (and even more Hurshly on 2021), withOut facing similar EU/USA Sanctions, but even being declared "Candidate" for EU Accession on 1999, and Paid more than 3 Billions € each Year, in full Funds by the EU (since 2016+), under pretext of Exploiting economicaly and politicaly a lot of Massive Refugees from Syria and other Asian or African Countries... Despite also of the Fact that Ankara's Army has Invaded those Cypriot areas, and still Occupies them by its Military, adding even a Massive Usurpation of Most Family Homes, and the Economic Livelyhood of the Majority of local Greek-Cypriot People, obliged to Flee, as Refugees, often illegaly "Replaced" by Mass Imports of Turkish Anatolia Shetlers, (as repeatedly Denounced by CoE's Assembly and the ECHR, considered as a "War Crime" by the International Penal Court)... Something that Russia, on the Contrary, Never did. => Double Standards by some ?in Brussels ?
The Innovation, Today, is Moscow's declared will to act for a kind of "De-Militarisation" in Ukraine, after Years of aggressive Arms purchaces, particularly sold by the USA, even Turkish Drones, NATO Military Expansion Threats, etc., by Kiev's current rulers, which has Notoriously wbich has fueled Russian Concerns on Security and Peace, around a Formerly Friendly and Safe Neighbouhring Country.... Moscovites stressed that they do not iontend to affect any Civilian People, neither to rule on any Civilian Area at all, but only to Oppose aggresive Militarisation, (f.ex. by Neutralizing Bombing Airplanes, Tanks, Killer Drones, etc). Indeed, this reminds the 1994 International Document with which Ukraine became an Independent State, for the 1st Time in History, (as it was, until then, a simple Region of ex-URSS), by acquiring a Peaceful, Neutral Status, far Away from any Military Organisation, almost as Finland.
President Vladimir Poutin and MFA Lavrov nowadays Blamed the notorious "Kiev Putch" of 2014, when an EU-sponsored Peace Deal, Signed by All Sides in the conflict, (including Amnesty, Elections, National Unity Government, Cease Fire, etc., and negociated by German, French and Polish MFAs), had been suddenly Droped, by Deadly Violence, triggered by "Snipers" who, astonishingly, fired Both against Russian-Frendly, elected Ukranian President Janoucovic's Security Guards, and hostile Demonstrators, (according to Independent NGOs), provoking a Bloody Conflict. Those who,Usurpated Power were astonishingly Identic to whom had been Designatrd by USA State undersecretary Nulant, in a Leaked Phone famous for its "Fuck the EU" moto...
Earlier, Merkel had tried, since 2013, to Overcome claims of alleged Obstacles, evoked by a "Socialist" EU Commissioner, against creating a PanEuropean Free Trade Area, ftom Porfugal to Vladivostok, including Ukraine, which was supported by Russia, Germany, Austria, Armenia, and others, vowing to visit, for that purpose, Moscow, at the beginning of 2014. But, Instead, she Surprisingly found herself, Excepptionaly ...Handicaped, with 2 Cranches, after an Unprecedented, Obscure Incident at an International resort in Swtzerland ! So, she witnessed, powerless, the Bloody Kiev "Putch", which soon Divided Ukraine and all Europe (Comp. Supra),
- "Biden is Willing !", had Warned, on the contrary, USA"s Miss Nuland, in her leaked phone call about Intervining in Ukraine's internal affairs; (Comp. Supra), concerning Former VicePresident's early Interest, (which, curiouly, did not attract enouph public attention at the Controversial 2020 Election, despite the Notorious link with his Son's big Pocket Money from an Ukranian Company).. +And Biden's 2021-2022 Maniak Anti-Russian Focus on Ukraine obviously Confirms such suspicions of Conflict of Interest... Such Facts might explain why so Important and diverse Countries as China, India, UAE, etc, Refused to Condemn, i.e. Backed Russia inside UN SC at New York during the Vote of a Controversial Draft Resolution against it, nowadays, which was Clearly Droped by the International Community.
+ But the Real Motives Hidden behind a Recent Hostility versus Russia by some, appear to be Also of anOther, Different and Unmentionable kind, that only a Few realize and admit openly : Indeed, a transnational Technocratic Lobby has been Exploiting Homosexuals as pretext in order to obtain Access at a massive Artificial Fabrication of Children, exposed to Recent dangerous Genome Manipulation Trchnologies, threatening to impose a social "Appartheid", creation of Artificial "Races", Animal-Human "Chimeras", Machine-Human "Cyborgs', etc. "Gene Therapy" was already there when "Genome Editing" emerged on 2014-2015, and inntra-Generaton Transmissible Genome Manipulations became possible from 2018, (Despite remaining Problems). in this context, Obama imposed Genetic Manipulations of Human Embryos and "Same Sex Mariage" (even Abroad), while Biden added "Trans-Gender", and Fake "Vaccines" (mRNA: affecting Human Genome, of Short duration, Risking to be Infected and/or infect other People, "Blint" to Virus' Variants).
- While Russia is a Big country, Permanent UN SC Member, has Technology and Nuclear Power, Historic Links with the developed West, Part of Europe, CoE + OSCE Member. On BioEthics, inter alia, Moscow Opposes Propaganda for Homosexuality particularly In front of Children, stands for Natural, Traditional Mariage and Bieths, between a Man and a Woman (that the European Human Rights Convention Protects: Art. 10), etc, with President Putin symbolicaly celebrating main Christian feasts, (in a Society Open also to Muslims, Boudists, and Other Religions). For this (and a consequent Fight against Deadly "Islamist" Terrorists Targeting Civilians) Pütin was proclaimed as the Most Popular Head of Governement even among American People, and the Biggest International Organisation on Family (Based in USA's Illinois) chose Moscow for its Global Congress, (fanaticaly Undermined by LBGT and UKUISA Lobbies). On 2020 Natural Mariage was Voted by Popular Referendum into the Russian Constitiution. Meanwhile, a Growing Contradiction emerged, particularly Since 2013, fueled by UKUSA and French "Socialist" Technocratic Lobbies, Exploiting Homosexual activists in order to Control Massive Artificial Fabrications of Babies in Labos, exposed to Genetic Manipulations (Comp. Supra), as Russians actively participated in Criticism by CoE and other Human Rights/Democracy European/International Organisations on uinpredented Oppression, (mainly by former "Socialist" , French President Hollande) versus Dissident People, Demonstrating against Controversial and UnPopular "Sama Sex Marriage", Artificial Births, Genetic Manipulations; ;etc. The Provoked Ukranian Pretext, Since 2014. Ousted Russian MEPs from the CoE, until 2019. +Nowadays, on 3022, Russia prepares a new Vaccine against the Pändemic Virus, (due to be Ready in some Months), designed as "Classic" Vaccines, with Methods already Tested and Used during 2 Centuries based on the Principles Established by World famous French Professor of Strasboueg Louis Pasteur (1980-2022): Ie. Not Manipulating the Human Genome, But Durating Long Enouph, Excluding Infecting Other People or again the recipients, and Able to Recognize Variants. (Until Now, only 3 Vaccines Authorized by the World Health Organisation are of a "Classic" structure, made by China and India, Widely Spreading accross the World, while another 93 follow in Tests, But ...None was yet been recognized by EU-USA Bureaucracy ! On the Contrary, the UKUSA+ Establishment Restricts Peuple Only to a Few (5) Fake "Vaccines", Novel Tools Affecting the Human Genome, via mRNA or Virus Vector, of too Short Duration, Exposing Recipients to Infections, Transmisuble also to Other People, and "Blind" to many Variants, even with possible "Individualizations", concerning the mRNA)...
in such a context, it's not surprizing that one of the most Hostile Adversaries to Moscw is pro-Big Pharma Lobbyist, current EU Commission Chair, Ursula von der Leyen, (wife of a Bio-Technocrat and Minority in her own CDU Party on Bio-Ethics about Births already since 2010 Congres at nearby Karlsrue (See: ), who Nowadays announced, on 2022 for the FIirst Time in History, (Immediately Following USA's "Socialist" POTUS Biden's relevant Decision) that the EU would Pay Half a Billion € for ...Deadly Weapons to the Kiev Regime ! But such a Bloody-Thirst move in an already Dangerously Divided Europe, goes Opposite to Kiev President Zelensky's alleged readiness ro discuss on 2022 an eventualy "Neutral" Status for Ukraine, as Russians wish, according to the 1094 International Document which had declared the Independence of Ukraine, (Historically a simple Region of ex-URSS): a possible Basis for a Peaceful Deal Nowadays.
+ But, in Addition, Von der Leyen's further Decision to Even Hinder European People from having Access to Russian Medias, by Imposing Censorship throuhout the EU f.ex. against "Sputnik" Press Agency, and 'Russia Today" TV, together with Kiev Regime's parallel measure to impose everyday "Curfew", as Early as from 5pm, on Ukranian People, (800.000 of whom immediately Left the Country to seek Refugy Status in the EU, added to more than 1 Million Displaced inside Ukraine itself, notoriouly Cut between a Pro-Russian and a Pro-West Parts), as well as several Polls in Key Western Countries indicating a Large part of the Population Favorable to Good PanEuropean Relations with Russia; (fex. France, Italy, etc), obviously raise Questions vis a vis Citizens...
And, at any case, Last, but not least, what wil say Europeans, when they wil Soon see Europe Excluded, for a 2nd Time in a row, from any Access to Planet Mars, (not to speak about the ISS...) An ESA(EU)-Russia 2010 plan to reach Mars for a New Project around 2014-2016 was already Postponed because of the 1st Ukrania Conflict. +Now it's anOther such Rendez-vous, Scheduled for This Year (2022), of the French EU Presidency, which Risks ro be Droped Again, due to rhis 2nd Ukranian Clash... Desperate Europeans may Try to use ...Australian Businesman Elun Musk's Space Dreams in the Future, or Web Shop-Keeper (Amazon) Jef Bezos' Caricatural plans, instead of Russia's efficient "Soyouz" Space Rockets, but withOut any guarantee... However, Meanwhile, China notoriously Succeeded to reach the "Dark Side of the Moon", and Planet Mars (on May 2021). => Who will be Next to Bypass such a Divided and Weakened Europe ?
People made Dreams about Europe mainly for Big Projects, Unity and Peace, Historic Values and Identity, an Autonomous Role in the World. ...Not for a Machine of "Sanctions" (again and again), Division and Conflict, Disregard to History, Subordination to Foreign Interventions ! => Real Europeans must Take Over, Rectify, and Advance ahead.

3 EU Parliament votes to boost EuroGroup !
---------------------------------
After EuroZone Paris Summit's succes, Sarkozy calls to "think anew how to re-construct Europe !
"EuroZone and EU Institutional debates pave the way to 2009 discussions on EU Future, including Enlargment, Turkey etc. ?
23 October 2008
After EU Parliament strongly suppported in 3 successive Votes this week in Strasbourg French EU Chairmanship's move to boost Euro-Group at EU's core, while ideas on EU Institutional problems are awaited on December, "it's an open Question now" if this may lead to a debate on EU's Future, or not, told us French President, Nicolas Sarkozy''s Spokesman, Pierre-Jerome Henin.
MEPs voted on Thursday fresh Funds to support EuroGroup, after adopting on Wednesday a Resolution asking a "further Evolution" to "the 1st ever meeting of Heads of State and of Government of the Euro-Zone, taking decisions in that capacity", while earlier this week a Report asked "a stronger Institutional setting" for "EuroGroup", extended from "competitiveness/industry" to "environment, employment and education", with "increased powers for Political decision-making", according to a text drafted by French MEP Francoise Beres and German MEP Werner Langen, "10 Years after the creation of Euro" (1999 - 2009).
- Brussels' subsequent "EU Council ..(simply)..ratified the measures decided by EuroGroup on October 12" in Paris, which "were necessary to contain the current Financial Crisis", Resolution observes, expressing also support to the new process succesfully initiated by Sarkozy and due to be completed by agreements with USA and other countries at a Global level.
From now on, it's between two differend but parallel moves : EU's delay, and EuroZone's acceleration, that Enlargement and particularly Turkey's controversial EU bid, will have to search its way :
Indeed, EU's 27 expect a "Roadmap on how to deal with the Irish problem" on Lisbon Treaty ratification after December, risking to pass even 2009 Elections and next Commission with the old Nice Treaty of 2000, out-dated and unfit even for 2004's Enlargement...
On the contrary, EU's core launches a real "Economic Governance for EuroZone at the highest level of Heads of State/Government" of the 15, which started in Paris on October 12 and was strongly supported this week in Strasbourg by Sarkozy and EU Parliament.
----------
- "It's a good idea, to launch such a debate ("on EU's Future") in EU Parliament in view of 2009 Euro-Election : Perhaps some MEPs will seize an opportunity", told us mainstream French MEP Alain Lamassoure, former EU Minister and EU Spokesman for France's governing party UMP.
- "All MEPs' debates on such EU Councils are also part of the larger debate on Europe's future : Now with EuroZone, and even more when, on December, Irish Prime Minister is due to table proposals in Strasbourg on how to deal with EU Treaty's ratification", replied earlier to our question EU Parliament's Press Director and Spokesman, Jaume Duch.
--------------------------------------
Sarkozy has formally anounced his intention to open EU Debates on Economy, Identity/Enlargement (i.e. mainly Turkey), etc. both linked to a popular Political view of Europe, since his Historic speeches on EU in Strasbourg, on February and July 2007, when he stressed that "Europe needs a New Renaissance". At the beginning of the French EU Presidency, on July 2008, replying to a MEP, he suggested that EU Parliament takes an active part in Debates on EU's Future.
- Now, in 2008, "Crisis are an opportunity to re-think how to re-construct Europe", Sarkozy stressed. At any case, the Historic 1st EuroZone Summit of Heads of State/Government, which started replying to the Financial crisis,"is a Turning Point : After that, Europe cannot be governed as before, but differently" : People "like a Europe with Strong Will".
- "We must make the System move !", "Europe needs Innovation" and free political debates. EU "Elections are in a few Months", Sarkozy warned.
He invited EU Parliament to fully play its role as "the Democratic Heart of the Europe we want : United, Independent and Voluntarist, because the World needs Europe's voice".
- "It's no more possible for Euro-Zone to continue without an Economic Government" at the Highest Level of Heads of State/Government, who provide "Democratic Legitimity" and can take important decisions, he announced, strongly supported by EU Parliament's Economic Committee which just voted to boost the "Institutional" aspects of "EuroGroup".
Plasticity offered by the current absence of a special Treaty on EuroZone's Institutions "made it easy to adapt the organization of the 1st Summit with imagination, to efficiently meet urgent needs", he observed, on the occasion of Brittish Prime Minister's exceptionnal presence at the greatest part of EuroGroup's Paris Summit.
- "In EuroZone we have the same Bank, the same Money, and, thus, a same duty for Unity" : "By bringing together EuroGroup's 15 members States we suceeded to find a solution and prepare a Giant Plan of 1.800 Billion euros", Sarkozy reminded of Paris' 1st Historic EuroZone's Summit.
Afterwards, Brussels' EU Council followed the move, and USA's Paulson II Plan was inspired from that. "Europe must promote the idea of Global Economy's Refoundation", he stressed.
- "I was frankly astonished when I found, at the EU, a rigid system, where any New Idea was seen from the outset as a sacrilege, while, on the contrary, Europe needs Innovation !", he described.
F.ex. ,"'When we first spoke about the "Union for the Mediterranean", it was misunderstood as something extraordinary.. When later we had the Russia -Georgia crisis, it seemed against EU's custom to act "in the middle of August", instead of staying a passive spectator ! And when, in front of the Financial ciris, we gathered the 1st EuroZone Summit of the "15", some thought of it as a lese-majesté", he denounced.
----------------------
On Geo-Political Principles :
----------------------
- But, by moving resolutely, "EU obtained the ...withdrawal of Occupation Troops in 2 Months !", reminded Sarkozy, observing that Russia "fulfilled its commitments", in the Georgian crisis, where a "disroportionate reaction" from Moscow followed a "totally inappropriate action" from Tbilisi's troops. "It would be crazy to reply by military means : EU should not become accomplice of another Cold War, imposed by lack of cool heads".. as he said.
In future, "the creation of a common European Economic Area with EU and Russia, would also obtain a raprochment on our Human Rights and Democratic Values", added Sarkozy, in a statement which should logically be applied, a fortiori, to controversial EU "candidate" Turkey..
Particularly when, the same week that EU Parliament voted 2009 EU Funds for Turkey's controversial EU bid, ECHR took a series of judgements condemning Turkey for grave Violations of Human Rights, such as : Torture, death of a political prisoner in unclear circumstances followed by failure to conduct a proper Investigation, "enforced Disappearance" of a youngster aged 17, Killing of a sepherd with Tank Shells, persecuting Journalists for articles on "Missing" People, even a former President of Human Rights' Association, (etc)
- "We (EU) can defend our ideas on respect of Sovereignity and territorial Integrity, on Human Rights and other differences ... without confrontation", Sarkozy stressed, on the occasion of Russian/Georgian conflict, reminding that : "we were only 2 steps from catastroph", when a Peace agreement brokered in Moscow prevented, at the last minute, Russian troops' advance towards Tbilisi.
An EU Parliament Resolution adopted Wednesday in Strasbourg on the occasion of Russia - Georgia conflict, outlines a set of Principle which apply elsewhere too, (particularly when EU Rapporteur for Russia and Turkey is one and same person ; Dutch MEP Ria Oomen-Ruijtanen !)
Clearly rejecting any "military solution to the conflicts", MEPs "condemn ..all those who resorted to force and violence". They denounce a "disproportionate military action", "as well as (an) unilateral decision to recognise the independence" of brekaway regions, "calling.. to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity" of the concerned country, "and the inviolability of its borders recognised by all EU Member States". They warn that "EU must review its policy towards" a 3rd Country, "should .(it)...not comply with its commitments", and "stress that the withdrawal of.... troops from the areas ....is an essential additional step".
EU Parliament "calls for the safe and quick return of refugees, (accepted by Russian President Medvedev) accompanied by the deployment of EU observers on the ground", and "regrets ...that ..EU Monitoring Mission (EUMM) is not allowed to enter the ...breakaway regions". Moreover, "It's important to ensure that persons and NGOs ..engaged in defending human and civil rights can operate". "Until ...all remaining issues (are) resolved..., and notably the continuing ...Military presence", "relations with the EU ..cannot be fully normalised", MEPS warned.
As nobody likes to be accused to practice "Double Standards", this should be regarded as "Principles" applicable to any Third Country at EU's Neighborhood.. No ?
-------------------
On Economy :
-----------------------
- "When Financial crisis shook US and EU's Banks, without result from the 1st (American) Paulsen plan, it was the common reply of the 1st EuroZone's Summit, involving some 1800 Billion euros, which started a positive move in the markets, soon strengthened by the follow-up of the US Paulson 2 Plan, noted Sarkozy.
- "Europe should not be only on the defensive, but, if necessary, know also how to take an offensive", he said, brushing away hesitationsto act on Economy: - "I'm for a refondation of Capitaliism, but against Speculators, who betray its values" : "Lack of Rules was profitable to speculators, Not to businessmen !" We must make sure to prevent any such crisis in future". "We, the rest of the World, cannot continue to bear the deficits of the 1st World power without saying anything !", the French President said, applauded by EU Parliament. All this needs "a New Global Governance", on which EU Parliament must debate. That's why "we proposed together with USA, several Summits from mid-November", to which G-8, enlarged to China, India a.o. countries, should participate. UNO's SG; Ban Ki Moon, the IMF, etc.
Financial crisis lowered shares' prices even for healthy companies, sometimes to 1/3 of their initial price, so that strangers might buy EU industries for only a portion of their real value, and Europeans may wake up one day with their main industries sold out to foreigners !
That's one of the reasons for which EU should debate about creating "Golden Shares" for States to jointly take Strategic participations to help European Industries until the end of the Crisis, particularly against distording competition, he suggested, pointing at USA's 35 billion $ plan for American Car Industry."We shall struggle for Europe to be able to build Airplanes, Ships, Trains, Cars, because we need a strong Industry", he concluded.
"F.ex. as we did back in 2004, when as Finance Minister, we bought Alsthom's shares for 800.000 euros, and, after restructuring, we sold them for 2 Millions : Help a company and make money is not so bad"...
As for the UK, "when Ireland announced that it would guarantee only Irish Banks, London City emptied from liquidities in 24 hours : It's the EU which helped to restore the situation, Not the UK alone !", reminded Sarkozy to nationalist British MEP Nigel Farage.
On the contrary, in a last-minute attempt for the EU to catch-up with its Institutional delay "before the European Elections" of June 2009, MEPs simply voted a call for a "set of proposals" to be made for the "Irish public opinion" at the end of the year...
- "As long as Lisbon Treaty is not ratified by all 27 EU Member States, there is an unanimous decision to stop Enlargement, reminded Wednesday in Strasbourg the French Minister for EU affairs, Jean-Pierre Jouyet..
Added to an indirect but clear warning that, without Lisbon Treaty, all 27 EU Member Countries may not have a Commissioner in the 2009 resuffle, MEPS in the Constitutional/Foreign affairs Committees applauded hoping that this might motivate their Irish friends..
