EU Parliament ECR Group Spokesman Tannock to EuroFora: Debate Cameron+Sarkozy+Merkel v. MultiCulti
The move came in reaction to French Press News, earlier today, that Sarkozy reportedly proposed to start opening socio-political debates on multiculturalism- communautarism and integration from March 2011 and later-on, surfing on Merkel's and Cameroon's parallel statements in the 3 biggest EU Countries, particularly after his earlier public statements surprisingly found en unexpected echo even among some Leftist Intellectuals and Human Rights Defenders honored by UNESCO, CoE, etc, (See relevant recent "EuroFora"s NewsRepot).
- "Cameroon made a speech, you know, against MultiCulturalism (in fact : Communautarism : See infra), it was hard to mention, but it was the 1st time he said that MultiCulturalism failed, because we have particularly come out on People obliged to live in Suburbs-Prisons (Ghettos), in Separate Development, not integrating into the Mainstream, some of them even breaching Laws and respect for our own Country, our own Values, our own (Cultural) Concepts, etc".
- "That, clearly, is not acceptable for the Future !", the experieh MEP stressed.
- "If we don't do anything about it, (then) the Extreme Right will try to exploit that and start gaining more votes", he warned.
- In consequence, "Yes, there has to be a(n EU) Debate. The British People know that we are on their side. Already, too many People are voting for Extremist Parties. (But) we don't want Extreme Parties to become succesful" in their attempts to exploit that.
=> - "(So, it's) the Mainstream (who) has to take ownership of these issues", he concluded.
- On EU level "I think that we (EU Parliament) should have a very full and frank debate about how to go on Immigration, particularly on the MultiCulturalism (more precisely : Communautarism : see supra), and the need for better Integration".
- Because otherwise it's playing the game of Extremist parties, and it's also provoking "huge problems on Social Cohesion in some of our (EU Member) Countries", he observed.
Experienced observers noted that this might be coordinated with, or at least pave the way towards an earlier promissed, and long overdew, Democratic EU Debate on Europe's Future, which includes EU Identity and values, etc.
On the contrary, some "Socialist" and other opposition politicians, f.ex. in France, started at the same time to ask for "Non-EU Foreign Immigrants' Vote in Local Elections", as if they might be feeling that they risk to lose the trust of EU Citizens. (Something that even the long-time former Socialist French President Mitterand never adopted, reportedly judging it unpopular among EU Citizens and/or risking to open dangerous doors against Socio-Cultural Cohesion and for risks of Foreign Interferences in EU Countries' internal affairs by some Foreign Governments notoriously organizing and exploiting their immigrants' separate communautarism, massively closing them into Cultural Ghettos).

Brixen-Bressanone/ACM/3.8.08
An appeal to make the "World more Human", by defending basic Human Values, helping those in need, and paying hommage to Nature, figured high in Pope Benedict's long-awaited speech at his "First Angelus" in the symbolic, beautiful historic small town of Brixen/Bressalone at the Alpes.
- "No Dictature, nor any destructive force can rob us of the most important goods wich are God's gift", stressed Pope Benedict, referring to elementary Human Values, in a last-minute improvisation of his draft speech, before launching also a call to "help those in need", in order to "make the World more human".
- "Jesus is the focus .. In him is Justice and Freedom", said earlier Brixen's Bishop Wilhelm Egger, after prayers including calls to "Truth, Justice and Freedom", read at a Mass of thousands in the town of Archangel Michael, known as defender of christians against the devil.
In what looks as a reference to BioEthics' dillemas of crucial impportance, raised at Strasbourg's unique in the World legally binding International Treaty on BioMedicine and Human Rights (1998, with the "hottest" issues added later through additional protocols, some of whom are imminent), he spoke also of the splendid "Nature" at this Alpen's ressort : This fits well Vatican's earlier anouncement that Pope Benedict's "prayer intentions for August" are mainly to "respect God's design for the world", and "become ever more aware of the great gift of God which Creation represents for us".
- "The most important things in our lives cannot be bought, but are only given as holy gifts : The Sun and its Light, the Air that we breath, the Water, the beauty of Earth, Love, Friendship, Life itself", Pope Benedict added, extending also to Natural Environment, another topical issue after recent Climatic upheavals at several parts of the World.
The "preparation of Pope Benedict's visit to France", which currently heads the EU, at mid-September, among exceptionaly important Council of Europe meetings on Human Rights in Paris and Strasbourg, is part of his work, together with his "book on Jesus", during brief Summer Holidays in Brixen, said his Spokesman, Federico Lombardi.
- The Pope's message is mainly religious, theological. But we are living in a concrete world, and ideas may be taken by readers as references to the actuality. However, it's better to wait to se what the Pope will say in Paris and at Lourdes, added to EuroFora Lombardi, who is also Director of Vatican's Press Office.
Brizen/Bressanone is similar to Strasbourg by succeeding to make a fertile synthesis of Germanic and Latin sources of Europe, like the two local rivers who meet at the historical center of the town, among spectacular ressorts at mountains' hights.
Headquarters for an Historic Religious Seminar, it attracted recently also a Free University's Educational studies. Well-known as a long-time preferred rest place for former cardinal Radzinger and his brother Georg, it includes areas named "St Benedeto" and "St George"...
But Pope Benedict's first speech gave also another symbolic rendez-vous :
- "Next Wednesday, August 6, we shall commemorate the 30st anniversary from the death of late Pope Paul VI", who "concluded Vatican II", and "the Transfiguration of Jesus, mystery of the divine light, which exerced a unique fascination to his soul", he said to some 12.000 applauding People, among the happy few who succeeded to have a rare place for an open-air Mass inside the Domplatz a particularly sunny day at the Alpes.
