AMF Head Baroin: Virus is Not Only Medical Issue But also Civic Protection+Defense. Many Facts Fit.
*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/(Partly UPDATED)/- COVID-19 Virus' Policy should Not be Exclusively EnTrusted Only to the Ministry of Health, given its current Limits (See Infra), But should have a much Broader Scope, Involving Also the Ministries in charge of Civic Protection and, particularly, Defense, (etc), stressed the Experienced former Many times Minister, Government Spokesman, and Now President of France's Association of Mayors, Francois Baroin, speaking as a Keynote Invitee at the 2020 Annual Congress of French Regions, where Participated also Prime Minister Castex, ECB's Head Lagarde, Senate's President Larcher, European Affairs Minister Beaune, (etc), and for which "Eurofora" had received a Press Invitation to the Video-Conference, (See Also : ..., etc).
- Indeed, well Beyond the Current, Controversial Health Minister Veran, (See, f.ex.: ..., etc), that Post is too Often Linked with certain narrow Lobbies of Interests, (as, f.ex., Big Pharma's relations to Public Hospitals, etc), while, in Fact, Human Lives' and Public Health's Issues May Extend much Further, Including, f.ex., (in Addition to Justice affairs, f.ex. concerning ECHR's relevant case-law, Home affairs and Public Order, etc), Also National Defense, Baroin pointed out.
Such Considerations may also Explain, perhaps, at least partialy, why Veran was, until now, Astonishingly, so Stubbornly Opposed f.ex. to the Simple and Cheap Drug for Anti-Virus' Therapy "HCQ+", (Notoriously Backed by US and Brazil Presidents Trump and Bolsonaro, as well as French Professor Raoult, etc), to the point to commit the Error to Base on a grosssly "Bogus Study", with 11 "Big Flaws", (See : ..., etc), even Moves to Prohibit Scientific Research on "CHQ+", also on WHO's Global Level, Exclude Medical Doctors from Prescribing that well-Known Drug not even to themselves, etc., leading to one of the Biggest Scandals on Establishment's Medical Press in our Century, initialy Whistle-Blowed by "Eurofora", (See : ..., etc), later Known as "LANCET-GATE", etc, but involving also USA's "New England Medical Review", which were, Later, Obliged to "Retract" that Paper, (See : ..., etc). Indeed, "Gilead", the US Company commercializing a Competitor, but much More Expensive Drug, of Dubtful "Efficiency", But full of various "Negative Side Effects" : "Remdesivir", has reportedly Gained, Already, More than 900 Millions $ from being "The Only" Currently Authorized such Drug...
>>> On the Contrary, however, French Defense Minister Parly, has reportedly Stock-piled a lot of "HCQ+" Medical Supplies, as a matter of Precaution, for Eventualy Urgent Army's Needs in the foreseable Future of this Pandemic...
+ Meanwhile, Even France's landmark Military Air-Carrier "De Gaule" was reportedly Blocked by a ...Virus' Infections OutBreak aboard, and Obliged to Stay Immobilized at a SeaPort, precisely when a very "Hot" Issue about EU's currently Unique Oil/Gas Energy Resources at South-Eastern Mediterranean, mostly Located around EU Members Cyprus and Greece, had Faced, last April 2020, Turkey's provocative WarShips' Bullying and Threats, (See, f.ex., among others, also : ..., etc).
++ Earlier, also India's Popular Prime Minister Modi, has Notoriously Faced Loud Accusations by a pro-Pakistan Islamic Foreign Lobby (Previously HeadQuartered in Turkey's Istanbul/Constantinople City, during a Long Period of Time), After a Controversial Trans-National Mass-Meeting of an Islamist Sect, including from Neighbouring Countries, (as Also Indonesia, etc), reportedly "Imported" several Virus' Infections inside New Delhi, and, subsequently, Spread accross several Other Indian Regions where several Participants scattered Afterwards, at the Beginning of the Pandemic's OutBreak, Back on Spring 2020, Provoking Strong Reactions by Many Angered Indian People. Before that Incident, India had an Exceptionaly Good Public Healh Situation, Well Protected against the Virus, also by a Strict Policy of Closure of its Borders towards China, (as Also Russia had initialy done, then, Before being, Later-on, Infected by EU-Imported Cases), But embattled Prime Minister Modi was reportedly DisLiked by Parts of a Muslim Minority, inter alia, apparently, Also Because of his Notorious Efforts to Save from Slaughter the Cows, that the Budhist Majority notoriously considers "Holy", Despite his Efforts to Moderate some People's perhaps excessive Denonciations of what they were Afraid to be a kind of ..."Virus Jihadism" (sic !) by some Extremist Grouplets, as they reportedly Denounced.
+++ In Europe, France has faced, since the Beginning of October 2020, a Sudden Big Acceleration of its Daily Infections Numbers of the Virus' "2nd Wave", soon Becoming (by Far) the Worst-Hit EU Member Country, in Spectacular Proportions, Just After President Macron's Official Policy Announcements, on October 2, against an "Islamist Separatism" Phenomenon, including, also, the Prohibition of "Imported Imams", Chosen, Trained, Funded and Monitored by Foreign States, (as, notoriously, Turkey, in Similar Problems Earlier Found also Imported inside Germany, and Other European Countries). Shortly After that, Macron, and France in general, Notoriously Became a Frequent "Target" of Turkish President Erdogan's Gross Provocations and ..."Too Vulgar" Insults, (as German Chancelor Angie Merkel reportedly Denounced, Together with Many Other EU Top Leaders), of UnPrecedented Hate-Spreading level.... (To the Point that Turkey was Even the Only State which had Not Yet Reacted -until Many Observers made Critical Remarks about ut, Later-on- to the Horrible Be-Heading of French Teacher Samuel Paty, by a Coward Islamist Terrorist born in Chechnya, for having just Discussed with his Students, at a Freedom of Expression Lesson, the Famous "Charlie Hebdo"'s Moameth Cartoons, on Pretext of which, the 1st Massive Massacrre Cowardly Targeting Civilian People in France by ISIL's Islamist Terrorists - Noadays Judged in Paris, with Number 1 Culprit someone Born in Turkey - had, Notoriously, occured on January 2015).
++++ In the Meantime, China has reportedly Discovered the Horrifying Reality of More than ...137 Individuals Infected by (and Spreading) the Deadly Virus, ...But withOut Any Perceptible Symptom on themselves, since they were Completely ... "ASymptomatic" ! This UnPrecedented numerous Collective Incident occured in the Xijiang Western Region of China, reportedly Near its Borders with Islamist Pakistan, (a Notoriously Close Ally to Turkey), at an Area considered to be the Cradle of the troublesome Minority of Turkic "Unghur"s...
+++++ Last (?), but Not Least, even a Long-Forgotten, ...Avian Flu OutBreak hit, Later-on, France's Agricultural Countryside, Topicaly Reminding the Big Problems of a Past Epidemic that had also hit China too), which had Notoriously Originated mainly by that Virus' sources at Eastern Turkey.
>>> All these Strange, but Converging and Alarming Facts, are Not at all Necessarily Linked to the quite Different Controversy about this Deadly Virus' alleged "Natural" or "Artificial" Origin, (f.ex. "made by a Labo", etc), as "Eurofora" has already Observeved, on the occasion of an Astonishingly Long Series of Various "Conservative" Top Political Leaders elsewhere in Europe and across the World personaly Affected by the Virus, (16 were Already traced, to whom were Recently Added also the Polish President Duda -mixed in a "Hot" BioEthical Issue- and Bulgarian Prime Minister Borisev - who had already formed a "Unity of the Right" including on Traditional Values, etc - reaching +18 Cases), withOut Any Similar Incident ever touching upon their "Socialist" Competitors : Indeed, Even a "Naturaly"-Born Virus Might, Perhaps, become Maipulated, Later-on, in Eventual Attempts to Slyly Undermine Political Adversaries, (See, f.ex., at: http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/manyconservativeshitbyvirus.html, etc).

An "Eugenic" loophole Amendment, which might expose to Dangers reminiscent of "3rd Reich's" notorious Genetic Abuses, hidden at the last minute inside an otherwise Good, larger Health policy Package scheduled to be voted on Thursday, was strongly denounced by a coalition of MEPs from various Political Groups and Countries, in a Press Conference held this afternoon at EU Parliament in Strasbourg.
Mainly calling to "Select Human Embryos", via "Genetic Counselling" and "pre-implantation" Techniques including "Genetic Tests", in order to "Eradicate Hereditary rare Diseases", it might open ways to Dangerous Practices in Future, they denounced in substance.
But they also made it clear that a much larger Report inside which this Controversial Amendment "No 15" was added in dubious circumstances, officialy destinated to struggle against "Rare Diseases", and drafted by Professor Antonios Trakatellis, was otherwise "an Excellent Report", aiming at a "completely Uncontroversial target" of Health policy on which "all MEPs and Experts are united, believing that Europe should act" to protect People's Health (See "EuroFora"'s earlier News).
The controversy came at a particularly delicate moment for the EU in relation to Citizens, at the eve of June 2009 EU Elections, and shortly before Ireland re-votes for "Lisbon Treaty"..
- Denouncing risks of "an Eugenic demand, very similar to what we had during the 3rd Reich in Germany, but now coming from some Scientisists themselves", German ChristianDemocrat/EPP MEP Dr. Peter Liese stressed that critical MEPs were against "Eugenic" engineering with "Selection of Human Embryos", and anything which might ultimately lead up to to a "Selection of Human Race". It doesn't help to "eradicate" Human Lives, he added.
Several Experts and NGOs expressed "Deep Concern", as f;ex. DR M.C. Cornel of the "European Society of Human Genetics", which stressed, on this occasion, that "the importance of Non-Directiveness in Reproductive issues is a Central characteristic of Human Genetics, after the Atrocities committed in the name of Genetics in the first half or the 20th Century".
- "This is completely Unacceptable", stressed Italian Liberal MEP Vittorio Prodi, on the Controversial Amendment, also because pushes to "eliminate early Human Life", as he noted.
- "This opens a Dangerous Road, rather a Motorway", denounced Danish MEP Mrs Margrette Auken, from the "Greens", observing that various similar attempts were made in the Past "not only in Germany, but also in several other Countries, "even at the 1970ies", "f.ex. on forced Sterilisation of Roma" People, and other criticisable situations f.ex. in the UK, in Sweden, etc. as she said.
+ Other NGOs, as f.ex. "LebenHilfe" from Berlin, added that, among various other Risks, could also be that, by exploiting the pre-implantation Genetic Diagnostics and the Selection of "healthy" Embryos, some may "propagate" several "Eugenic" aims, starting f.ex. by pushing to eradicate Human Livies which might "Cost too much" to preserve, ultimately exposing to dangers reminiscent of the "3rd Reich"'s atrocious abuses.
In consequence, ChristianDemocrats/EPP and "Green" MEPs "decided by Majority to vote against" this Controversial Amendment, anounced to Journalists the 5 MEPs who participated in the Press Conference, representing a wide spectrum, from Liberals to "Greens" and ChristianDemocrats, and from Hungary, Italy, Germany and Danemark up to Ireland (Gay Mitchell), etc.
----------------------------------
Hungarian ChristianDemocrat MEP Laszlo Surjan said "that it was "Suddenly, at the End of the Procedure" in Committee, that "appeared this (Controversial) Amendment, which has nothing to do" with the main purpose of the Report, on which all agreed.
He denounced an "Unhonest" move, and called to "avoid this kind of unacceptable situations". Nobody should "Select People", Surjan stressed.
- "We (MEPs) had No Chance to Discuss" this last-minute Amendment earlier added at a Committee's level, said German MEP Peter Liese
Speaking to "EuroFora", Dr. Liese, the Spokesman of the ChristianDemocrat/EPP Group in EU Parliament, said that MEPs didn't oppose other references of the Report f.ex. on "Genetic Tests", because they were "no proposals" to impose them, while, on the contrary, there was "a Problem" if anyone attempted to "impose" f.ex. this or that Genetic Technique and "Genetic Counselling", etc. to the People on human reproduction.
-------------
The precise Text :
-----------------
Controversial parts of Amendment No 15 ask mainly "to lead finally to the Eradication" of "Hereditary" "rare diseases", "through Genetic Counselling .., and ..pre-Implantation Selection of healthy Embryos".
But EU Rapporteur Professor Trakatellis, said to "EuroFora" that fears should be alleviated by Guarantees that all this should be done only "where appropriate", when it's "not contrary to existing National Law", and "always on a Voluntary basis", according to other Parts of the Amendment.
He stressed that the main aim was to allow "a free and informed choice of persons involved", without imposing them anything : - "It's not an obligatory, but advisary" text, he said.
To make that point clear, he was ready, in agreement with many MEPs, to eventually drop at least that part of the controversial Amendment which initially called for "efforts to ..lead finally to the Eradication of those rare diseases" "which are Hereditary".
But, until late Wednesday evening, reportedly together with many other MEPs, he stood by all the rest of the controversial Amendment, (fex. on the "Genetic Counselling" and the "pre-implantation Selection of healthy Embryos"), so that critical MEPs, going from ChristianDemocrats as Dr. Liese, to "Greens" or "Ind/Dem", observed to "EuroFora" that "this was not enough" to close the dangerous loophole.
Particularly since, as Professor Trakatellis noted himself, "this is already allowed to the U.K.", and "other National Legislations would probably follow, sooner or later" in a similar direction. As for a general call to "Eradicate Hereditary rare Diseases", this "should happen, at any case, in practice, de facto", to protect public Health.
On the contrary, "our goal should be to help patients suffering from rare diseases, not to eradicate the patients. In case of genetic disease risk, the decision should not be guided by scenarios" made by politicians. "Perents who may decide to accept a child, even if handicapped or with genetic disease, must be respected and supported with solidarity", critical MEPs stated.
- "Any Pressure" to "a patient or couple (who "should be able to make an informed choice consistent with their own values"),"from health Professionals, Public Health Policies or Governemental Institutions, or Society at large, should be avoided", stresses the "European Society for Human Genetics".
----------------------------------
Each MEP's vote will be registered !
-----------------------------------
The Socialist Group requested a "Split vote" on the Amendment 15, first without, and afterwards with the words "lead finally to the Eradication" etc.
But the first "split vote" leaves intact all the other parts of the Controversial Amendment, (i.e. "Genetic Counselling", "Selection of healthy Embryos", etc).
That's why, 3 Groups of MEPs : ChristianDemocrats/EPP, "Greens/EFA", and "Ind/Dem", have asked for "Roll Call Votes", on everything regarding the Controversial Amendment No 15, and on the final outcome of the resulting Report as amended, which will register all the individual positions to be taken by each MEP.
Something which will obviously make each MEP think twice before voting for one or another choice, to be sure that he/she will make the right choice in front of EU Citizens, particularly at these pre-Election times...
Crucial Votes were scheduled between 12 Noon and 1 p.m. local Strasbourg time, in the middle of a long series of various other Reports, and after a long Public Debate on the larger Health policy package, from 9 to 11.50 am.
The specific Report inside which was hidden the controversial Amendment is due to be debated between 11 and 12 am.
So that more last-minute Surprises may not be excluded a priori...
Particularly at the present Historic moment, when even the Institutional Future of the EU depends on the result of a second Referendum on "Lisbon Treaty", later this year, in ...Ireland, a mainly Catholic country, where People are particularly sensitive in such kind of socio-cultural and values issues...
