*Mulhouse/Angelo Marcopolo/- No Cold War division of Europe when Islamic Extremist Terrorists as ISIS' atrocious BeHeaders threaten it, but a Strong Franco-German core of a much better Integrated €uroZone, and a slimer but larger EU focused on certain big policies, possibly with Ukraine, but without Turkey, urged Today the Top-EuroPolitician who had notoriously succeeded to Stop a War between Russia and Georgia, back on 2008, Nicola Sarkozy, at crucial moment for the Ukranian Crisis, which affects all Europe and well beyond..

 
  - "If some have nothing better to do than go back to a Cold War against Russia, this means that they don't understand the Gravity of World issues", particularly "when we see Barbarians of another age who Cut People's Throats in direct at the front of TV cameras !", strongly denounced the experienced former President of France, and currently front-runner to a race for the Leadership of main Opposition party, UMP, Nicolas Sarkozy, that Polls, political logic and many People, picture as the most probable future Winner at the forthcoming Presidential Election of 2017.

 

   - "That's common sense", he concluded, indirectly but surely criticizing the opposite, "Cold War" trend as Nonsense, in a Criticism which was Widely Applauded on that obviously Topical point Tonight, since, according to various converging indications, both in France and elsewhere in Europe, even at the USA, many start to understand Today, that it would certainly be a Nonsense to provoke a return back to the Cold War against Russia, when the Brutal Islamic Extremists BeHeaders and throw-cutters of ISIS emerge around Europe, from Africa's Sahel up to Iraq and Syria etc. While also realizing that Sarkozy seems to be the only able to attract Voters both from the Center and the Right sides of France's political spectrum, as, already, his 3 Brillant and crystal-clear Wins both at the Presidential and Parliamentary 2007 National Elections, as well as at the 2009 European Elections, attest. The 2012 incident being precisely due to the fact that some Apparatchics undermined, misled and even almost muzzled, up to the last days of a pre-electoral campaign (which was marked even by a Deadly Terrorist attack not yet entirely elucidated), his authentic and popular positions on key issues, slyly restricting his original links to the People then.


    + Meanwhile, "Recent developments show that we were Right when, Together with (German) Chancellor Merkel, we had Opposed NATO's Enlargement to Ukraine", he reminded, the same Day that reports about "Total War" warnings had arrived from the Crisis' area.

 This occured a the same time that the World-wide Public Opinion was shocked by the atrocious spectacle of even more atrocious be-headings of helpless hostages by coward criminals of the Islamic Extremist ISIS Terrorist gang, who also Cut the Throats of eleven disarmed Syrian soldiers, POWS, while it was reported that among the horrible, Deadly Criminals were at least 3 French citizens, (who, like almost all the others, had travelled from Europe to Turkey, anti-chamber for Iraq/Syria). 

Only recently, during the last 10 Months : from December 2013 until October 2014, according to the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence (ISCR), cited Today by CoE's PanEuropean Anti-Terrorism Experts' (CODEXTER) sources, among those travelling mainly through Turkey, to Fight with "ISIS" armed Deadly Terrorists in Syria, were more than 1.752 citizens of European Union Countries, (such as the UK, France, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, etc, in descending order, according to the respective Numbers for each one among EU's 28 Member States, totalling some 550 Million Citizens in all), 800 from Russia (with 150 Millions of Citizens), 400 from Turkey (with 75 Millions of Citizens), which notoriously  serves as road for Supplies, Money Laundering, Weapons, Recruits, etc. to various Islamic Extremist Terrorists,  including ISIS, who have emerged from -and are still based - at its Borders, etc. In addition, according to American mainstream Media, (such as "Washington Times", etc), several other individuals had tried to leave the U.S. to join ISIS too, (some having fallen in disguised FBI agents' traps at the Internet)...

So that, even in the USA, the recent Mid-Term Elections' surprising results, revealed that the American People were more Worried about ISIS (including on its reported links inside the US, via some among the reported "Islamisation" lobbies activated there in recent years), than about Ukraine...

    - Sarkozy also pleaded in favour of a strong Franco-German "Convergence" in a Dual Europe, where €uroZone's currently 18 Member States would Deepen their Integration, with main Economic policy Decisions being taken by Heads of State/Governments according to the Magnitude of their population, while, on the contrary, the EU's 28 Countries would Enlarge further to 32, 34 or 35 Member States in the foreseable Future, focusing, at the same time, to certain "Big Policies", such as Industry, Agriculture, Energy, etc, but enhancing EU Parliament by giving it also a Legislative Initiative, after almost 30 Years of Direct Elections by EU Citizens,  (as he said by developing further the overall schema that he had initially presented at the Adenauer Foundation, when it had invited him to speak in Berlin, back on February 28, 2014, after a more than 1 Hour-long exchange with Angie Merkel at the Chancelery).


    I.e, something which apparently implies a sooner than expected possibility for Ukraine's EU Accession, (for which Sarkozy had already Opened a way, as early as since 2008, by officially recognizing  -then as EU Chairman- that it's an "unquestionably European Country", as he had declared, together with long-time f. EU Commission President Barroso, when was welcoming in Paris the former Ukranian President Jushenko, (See relevant "EuroFora"s  Report, then, sent from the spot, at Elysee Palace : .....).


    An almost Austria and/or Finland-like formula,  open to Ukraine's eventual EU bid, but recalcitrant yet to a NATO enlargement, where, mutatis-mutandis, even Ukranian President Poroshenko and Russian President Putin, might, eventually find a ground for a compromise Agreement..


    However the People spontaneously applauded when he reminded his famous opposition to Turkey's controversial and unpopular EU bid, on the contrary, based mainly on the fact that it's not a European but simply an Asian Country, geograpically, historicaly and culturaly, (Unlike European Ukraine), something which doen't exclude at all for it to be, nevertheless, a normal Country with its own Dignity, that he always scrupulously respected,in his Statements, (sometimes even more than certain others)..

    Sarkozy was speaking during a massive Political Meting at the "Palais des Sports" mega-Building, in Strasbourg's Region Alsace's Mulhouse City, at a Trilateral Border between France, Germany and Switzerland, close to where will soon take place OSCE's Annual Ministeral Summit at the beginning of December 2014, which is due to focus on Ukraine, very probably in Cooperation with CoE and EU, as the two Chairmen of both PanEuropean/TransAtlantric Organisations, Belgian vice-Prime Minister Reynders, (a notorious Sarkozy's Friend), and Swiss President Burkhalter, respectively, have already indicated to "EuroFora",  at various moments and formats, earlier.

  On this occasion, the experienced Top French Euro-Politician, (who has also Chaired both the EU, the 1st €uroZone Summit and CoE, as well as the G8 and G20, in addition to welcoming an official visit of the Pope), confirmed also a strong will to boost Citizens' active participation in all decisions of  a renovated and popular UMP party, able to forge Direct Contacts between its Political Leadership and the People, without any risk to be short-circuited by "intermediaries", as he stressed, referring to one of the most interesting aspects of his Victorious 2007 and 2009 National and European Elections. For that purpose, Sarkozy promised, in particular, to open a Permanent and Direct possibility for all simple militants to present their opinions, exchange views and/or receive replies from the Party leaders, through Modern Internet patforms, as he said, (I.e. an obviously interesting Political Innovation very close to "EuroFora" project's original idea !).. 

Meanwhile, he started already moving in this direction, by accepting to reply even "live" to Questions raised by simple Citizens, Members of the Party, in all his recent Political Meetings, including Today's. We must guarantee Free Speech to all Militants, and not fear to hear what People have to say, nor exclude Public Debates on everything that matters to them, because, otherwise, there is always a risk to be surprized by some popular reactions only afterwards, Sarkozy critically observed, (in an obvious hint to the exceptional results of various kinds of "EuroSceptics", particularly among the Rightists, but also from the Leftists, in the latest, May 2014, EU Parliament's Elections), largely applauded by a numerous audience.

We need a reNovated and reVitalized, great Party based on Values, where f.ex. a CEO can meet and speak with his Workers, a Rich man with a Poor one, (etc), he characteristically concluded, while, in addition, as one of his allies, the current Mayor of Mulhouse City, Jean Rottner, speaking to Journalists, included "EuroFora", confirmed that Sarkozy, during a meeting with Strasbourg Region Alsace's political representatives, earlier Today, confirmed his recent promises, to popular French NGO's as "Common Sense", that he is in favor of Repealing a controversial and unpopular recent Bill which imposed (despite large Protests and Opposition by Millions of People, astonishingly Oppressed in an so brutal way that it shocked as unprecedented in Modern France, and was even Condemned by a CoE Assembly's Resolution), the so-called "Same Sex Marriage" and even "Adoptions" of Children by Homosexuals, as well as, particularly, in order to clearly and definitively Outlaw any risk to see the atrocious "Surrogate Mothers" exploitation and/or the Artificial Procreations of Human Beings, being Massively abused by many Tens of Thousands of Homosexual couples in the foreseable Future, (resulting in a Dangerous control by Technocrats of the Procreation of many Human Beings). The former French President's stance on such topical BioEthical issue, obviously dangerous for all Humankind, were even more crystal-clear in the 2007 and,2012 Presidential Elections, but, in the latter, a more than +5% group of Participating Voters among the "Far Rightists", suddenly prefered to Vote "Blanc" or "Nul" for other reasons, practicaly provoking a facticious "win" of the "Socialist" Party, even if it remained a Minority among the Voters)..

As for the experienced, former Minister, and current President of Strasbourg's Region Alsace, Philippe Richert, speaking earlier to "EuroFora" and other Journalists on the spot, he focused on Sarkozy's anouncement that he would never accept another, highly Controversial Draft Law, that Socialist MPs just adopted Today at the Parliament in Paris, which obliges Alsace to fusion together with Lorraine and Champagne-Ardenne, inside a Huge, North-Eastern France's Mega-Region, whose proposed name "ALCA", obviously risks to be maliciously difformed by competitors or adversaries in .. "ALCA(PONE) Region, unavoidably reminding that World-famous Mafia network Chief at Chicago in the Past ; A Borderline area, as "ALCA" is suggested to become, by sharing borders with other 4 Countries : from Switzerland and Germany, up to Luxembourg and Belgium. - It's a very Bad Reform, which risks to practically Destroy our Region's identity, cohesion and role, by artificially adding it inside a patchwork of various other regions, without any idea on how they will be governed all together, only in order to satisfy some politicians of the governing part, and without even consulting the concerned People, denounced inter alia Richert, while also tabling at a forthcoming joint meeting between representatives of the National Assembly and the Senate, (which had Rejected, on the contrary, the proposed "Fusion"), to become "a 1st Step" towards a Change of that controversial Bill, knowing also, after Sarkozy's crystal-clear Opposition anounced Today, that, at any case, it is almost certainly due to be abrogated just in a few years' time...

As for Charles Buttner, experienced President of Superior Rhine's Department, located at the Heart of the "Drei Ecker Land", i.e. the Land standing between 3 European Countries : France - Germany - Switzerland, and one of the Political Leaders of Alsace who are the most Opposed to the Controversial "ALCA" Reform project, speaking to "EuroFora", didn't avoid a spontaneous big Laugh when he heard about the Risk to be called ... "ALCA(PONE) Region" by any malicious competitor region in the Future, (while also risking to progressively forget, or Blurr in the collective Memory, the Historic names of the concerned Regions, which are well known until Today)...

Moreover, new MEP from Strasbourg's area, Anne Sander, a former collaborator of EPP Group's and currently Party's President Joseph Daul, speaking to "EuroFora" at this same Mulhouse event, she appeared concerned also about the Future of the "OberRhein/Superior Rhine" Trilateral TransBorder EuroRegion, between France, Germany and Switzerland, which "is a very good Project", as she stressed, strategically located for Sarkozy's plan for a deeper Franco-German Integration at €uroZone's core.

  Ten Years of ECHR : 1998 - 2008 show need of Revival in 2009-2010 coinciding with 2009 EU Election
   

A threefold, coordinated move by new Top French Political actors in the 2009 EU Parliament Elections, expressed in Strasbourg a will to boost Europe's Political dimension close to Citizens' concerns, going from protection of Economy to defence of Human Rights.    

The move met an exceptional ECHR's call for a "revival" of Human Rights' protection mechanism', in a Mega-Conference, early 2010.   

Obviously focusing on June 2009 Elections to EU Parliament, it involved from the outset the recently nominated "dual" Head of French Governing Party (UMP)  Michel BARNIER and Rachida DATI :

imag0282_400

     - "As President Sarkozy has clearly said, we (France) are in favor of a Strong, Sovereign and Independent, Political Europe, which protects its Citizens, and not for a large Super-Market, nor for a Europe under influence",

    "This goes for everything, including Energy", added to "EuroFora" the experienced former EU Commissioner, Minister of Foreign affairs, currently of Agriculture and Sarkozy's new pick as Leader of the Governing party UMP to EU 2009 Election, Michel BARNIER                                              .                             

  - Human Rights are important because they are at the Heart of the Political Europe that we aspire for : I.e. a Europe able to act and protect its Citizens, stressed also the New French Minister for European affairs, Bruno LE MAIRE, while meeting Strasbourg's Journalists at his first visit to the CoE.   

imag0313_400_01 

This is one of the main interests for CoE, which is also a natural place for cooperation between EU countries and Russia or Turkey, which was recently helpful at the Middle East crisis, he added.

The move gained momentum with French Minister of Justice, Rachida Dati's main observations at ECHR's 5Oth Anniversary :   

- "While we are seeking Europe's Borders and Identity, you (ECHR) remind us also of its Values", Human Rights, Dati noted.   

Citizens seek more and more often ECHR's help, and the tempo accelerates, Europa awaits a symbol, while national legal orders are not freezed   

And she expressed "support" to ECHR President Jean-Paul Costa's call to satisfy the vital need to revigorate the PanEuropean Court by deciding big changes at a High-Level Conference open to a large audience, a kind of "Etats Generaux" of Human Rights, at the beginning of 2010.       

dati_a_cedh_1_400 

It's not so much the recently growing number of applications for Russia or Ukraine etc, which seems to be Costa's main concern : In fact, the cases declared "admissible" are much fewer...    

But rather the persistent violations of Human Rights, sometimes very grave (ie. murders, torture, abritrary deprivation of liberty, oppression of freedom of speech, destructions of homes/properties, etc), despite numerous, repeated condemnations by ECHR. So that CoE's Ministers, due to "supervise execution" of ECHR's judgements, are overloaded.   

F.ex. most Media noted that Turkey still remains, even in 2008, the 1st among 47 CoE member States in the number of condemnations by ECHR :  257, compared to 233 for Russia, with a population more than the double..    

The problem is that it's not the 1st time at all : During all the last Decade 1998-2008, Turkey was condemned by ECHR much more than any other State, and for particularly grave violations :   

- 1.652 condemnations, compared to 605 for Russia, 548 for Poland, 494 for France, 476 for Ukraine, etc.   

Italy's second place with 1.394 condemnations is a misleading false appearance : In fact, most of them (999) concern mere "procedural delays" in national courts. Same for France.   

On the contrary, Turkey was condemned 180 times for Killings, 192 times for Torture or Inhuman/Degrading treatments, 340 times for arbitrary deprivation of Liberty, 528 times for "Unfair trial", and 169 times for oppression of Freedom of speech, (etc). And the latest, 2008 numbers, indicate no change in this trend, (See supra).   

The current Spanish CoE Presidency (November 2008 - May 2009) has made of the implementation of ECHR's judgements its 1st Priority.   

ECHR's President, Jean-Paul Costa, stressed in its 2009 Annual Press Conference, CoE Member States' obligation to implement the judgements, according to Article 46 of the European Convention on Human Rights.   

Moreover, if CoE's Committee of Ministers delays to ensure implementation, then, the repetition of violations in similar cases provokes a multiplication of complaints tabled to the Court, which overload the mecanism for the protection of Human Rights, denounced Costa.          

A series of Debates on "the situation of Human Rights in Europe", focusing on the "need to fight against Impunity" of perpetrators of grave crimes, is  currently prepared by CoE's Parliamentary Assembly for the session of June 2009.  

The final Timing comes shortly AFTER the EU Elections, but the main Reports should have been adopted before.

Meanwhile, French President Sarkozy and German Chancelor Merkel's recent call "for a Political Europe" in 2009 EU Elections (See earlier "correspondence from Paris, Elysee Palace), seems more and more endorsed also by other EU Countries' Top MEPs :

Thus, f.ex., EU Parliament's 1st vice-President, Greek MEP Mrs Rodi KRATSA, speaking to "EuroFora", agreed that 2009 EU Election would be a "naturally good" opportunity to debate what really interests EU Citizens : "The Future of a Political Europe, able to face the Economic Crisis, with a Culture and identity which attracts the People"
