European People vote Majority to the Right ! +Earlier Abstention changes into Record Participation !

*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/(Partly UpDated)/- European People gave an Absolute Majority to a Unity of the Right, extended, or not, to the Center-Right, among the 751 MEPs that they Elected this Sunday, after an UnExpected, Last-Minute Surge of a Record-High Popular Participation, Bellying all Polls which had predicted, on the Contrary, a Worsening of the Abstention of the last 20 Years...
According to the Official Results of EU Parliament, mainstream Center-Right ChristianDemocrats/EPP remains the Biggest Group of MEPs, with the Difference that, from Now on, they mathematically dispose also of an Absolute Majority if they are Added Together with all the Various Rightists, currently WideSpread among the Conservatives, EFDD, EFN, independent or unclassified yet, etc.
It's towards such a phenomenon of European People Voting an absolute Majority for a Unity of the Right, that point, obviously, also several Mainstream Newspapers' overall presentations of the results, (including, f.ex., "Welt", "Parisien", etc : See relevant PHOTOS: Here, Conservative Parties are pictured at the Right side):
(EU 2019 Election Results' Highlights
by mainstream Newspapers "Die Welt/Germany and "Le Parisien"/France)
---------------------------
It's a New Political Situation, withOut any known Precedent in the Past.
On the Contrary, Neither the "Socialists", not even the Liberals (Centrists), (despite a slight strengthening of the latter), canNot find Any kind of Majority at all, if they stay Limited Only in various associations between them, and the "Greens", Euro-Left, etc., (most of them due to become even Smaller in case of BREXIT), at the Left Side of the Political Spectrum.
But, theoretically, there is Still Room for a "Center-Right" Alliance, of EPP and Liberals, with More Rightists than before, as in the out-going EU Parliament's Presidency by experienced Italian ChristianDemocrat MEP, and twice former EU Commissioner, Antonio Tajani, (who, as some informed sources have told "Eurofora", might, indeed, be willing to move Forward anew, after his previous Success to get a Stable Majority withOut the "Socialists", but in agreement with some Rightists, already during the period of 2017-2019, See: ..., etc).
It would, indeed, be a Surprise if Emmanuel Macron's New Centrists (reportedly added to Liberals) might, eventually, Refuse the further development of such a Center-Right up to Rightists' de facto Alliance, as in the Recent Past : Since, a Refusal would practically and symbolically mean that they are More at the "Left" than what Guy Verhofstadt's Liberals used to be...
Meanwhile, it's not only true that the ChristianDemocrats/EPP's mainstream Right, still remains, unquestionably, the Biggest EU Parliament's Group, with about 179-180 MEPs, (compared to just 153 for the Socialists, and only 105 to Liberals), but also that the Rightists' 3 Groups (Conservatives, EFDD and EFN) now Reach an almost Equivalent Total, for the 1st Time in History : i.e. about 175 MEPs already Registered, (who Might Extend even Further).
+ Moreover, there is a Potential to Add, eventually, a Supplementary Number of about +14 - 16 More MEPs, i.e. arriving towards a Total of 189 or 190, by Integrating Many New Small Rightist Parties, which have Emerged almost Everywhere throughout EU's 28 Member States nowadays :
- Indeed, among a lot of New MEPs, (mainly various kinds of Rightists), for the Moment designated as "Others", i.e. "Newly elected Members, Not (Yet) Allied to any of the political Groups set up in the Outgoing Parliament", there are, f.ex. :
3 Spanish MEPs of the New Party "Vox" ; 4 "Pirates" from Czech Republic and Germany (perhaps for the EFDirectDemocracy Group ?) ; 2 Slovenians from "Kotleba" ; and 2 Slovaks from "L'SNS Kotleba" ; 1 Estonian from "EKRA" ; 1 Greek from "Greek Solution" ; 1 Croat from "Zidi zid" (Bouclier Humain"); 1 German from "Familien" Partei, (etc)...
Even among Pre-existing "Independents" Might be some recruits, as, f.ex., UK's "DUP" (Northern Ireland's Conservatives, until now Allies of the Brittish Conservative Government) : 1 MEP; Hungary's rightist "JOBIC": 1; perhaps, Later-on, Greece's "GD" rightists: 2 (awaiting imminent clarification), etc.
Obviously, there is, still, a Problem of Unity, among the 3 Groups of the Rightists, (ECR, EFDD and EFN), but this may be Resolved, perhaps, if and when the "BREXIT" might, eventually, Start to take Away the British Conservatives, at the Latest : until October 2019, etc., allowing the Polish a.o. to help reGroup all those New MEPs, etc.
But, independently of that, and/or, once that matter Settled, in one way or another, as far as it concerns the Principles, it's Difficult to understand Why the Left should be Free to become United, (as, f.ex., "Socialist" Candidate Timmermans proposed), while, on the Contrary, the Right should stay Always Divided, (as some claim)...
Already, there are several, and various Recent Governments of a "Unity of the Right" throughout Europe, (f.ex. from Norway to Bulgaria, etc), and, even in Austria, it was not only the mainstream Center-Right's "EPP", but Even the ...mainstream "Socialists" who have already acted as Allies of the Rightists' "Freedom Party", Both Earlier, at a Regional level, as well as in Consultations for an eventual National Coalition, and Nowadays, at the National Parliament, in order to just OverThrow the 2nd EPP's Kurz Government !...
----------------
In fact, the New Potential just Created by the Democratic Votes of the European People,looks as an Important Historic Reality in the Making:
=> To put it in a nutshell, the current, potentially "Central" Position of EU Parliament's Biggest Group : that of ChristianDemocrats/EPP, is of Crucial Importance, has a Strategic Responsibility, and Holds the Key :
>>> F.ex., from one Side, it could Rely on a Compromise with Macron's a.o. Liberals in order to Attract the Rightists towards a Strong and Developed, well Integrated and Ambitious Europe, with a Big and Noble Mission in the World,
while, almost at the Same Time, from the Other Side, it should Make Good Use of Rightists' Claims for Security of the People Facing Islamist Terrorism (See Infra), UnPrecedented Mass Asylum Seekers/Irregular Migration, etc., but also for Natural Family, healthy Traditional Values and BioEthics, Hard Working People and basic Solidarity, National and European, Historic and Cultural Identity and Civilisation, aspirations for Less Bureaucracy, but Modern forms of a more Direct Democracy, Peace, etc.
- In Other Words, such a "Central", Strategic Position for the Biggest Group f MEPs, that of ChristianDemocras/EPP (Comp. Supra), must be well used in order to Create, out of Contradictions, Divisions, and Chaos' Risks, right the Opposite : I.e. to Seize the Historic Opportunity, and Dare Meet the huge Challenge, to Forge the Synthesis of a much Needed, Deeper and Wider, Active Group, of "Real Europeans" !...
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Mystery of Last Minute, Historic Record-High Popular PARTICIPATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ The 2nd big Surprise in this 2019 EU Election is the Last-Minute, UnExpected Emergence of a Huge, Exceptional Uprise in Popular Participation to the Votes, Contrary to many Polls, which had previously Predicted a continuation or even a Worsening of the Majority Abstentions of the Recent Past (since 1999) :
=> Indeed, instead of Stagnating or Falling even Lower, as predicted, on the Contrary, People's Participation to these EU Elections, Suddenly Jumbed Up, Growing even Higher than what it had ever been During the last 20 Years of 1999 - 2019 (always a Minority), to the point to Reach a Crystal-clear, Absolute Majority of 51% of Voters now !
- How to Explain this important and exceptional, last-minute Big Change, throughout 28 EU Member Countries ?
It's a well-known Fact that, around and after 1999, the European People had been notoriously Deceived, (many even felt Betrayed, particularly in their best pro-European Ideals), especially by too much concessions made then (under USA's Liberals' pressure) about Turkey's controversial and unpopular EU bid... The 2005-2007 "No" to EU Referenda, were Key parts of those Popular Reactions, as well as Electoral Abstentions, EuroScepticism, etc.... On the Contrary, after what happened recently, Most EU Political Leaders have notoriously tried to show that, at last, nowadays (around 2017-2019), they Hear the Voice of the People, and often Multiplied various Statements Against Turkey's controversial and unpopular EU bid, many asking to put
This might, perhaps, provide a possible Explanation for More Popular Participation to the Votes, in general.
>>>But, obviously, canNot Explain at all Why the Abstention Trend reportedly Remained still in place, (according to Most Polls), Changing Only at the Last Days, (possibly Hours or Minutes), and so Radically, that Popular Participation, Suddenly, ..."Exploded" Now, surging from only a Minority of around 40%, Up to a Majority of More than +51% !
=> Only a Last-Minute Surprize Event, of so Vital Importance that it was Able to Speak right to the Hearts and Minds of the People, to a point to Make them Move, Massively and Suddenly, towards a New Direction, could have, naturally, Provoked such a Big, Massive, Fast and UnExpected Change...
- Was there, at least, One (1) ?
- Facts show that there were, indeed, ...Three (3), convergent and closely interRelated :
------------------------------------
(a) At First, on May 15, Many People were Astonished by the Scandalous, last-minute Exclusion of any Discussion on the Need to Protect EU Citizens from Islamist Terrorism, during the unique EU Parliament's Debate among Top Candidates in EU Elections, Despite the Fact that it had been Initially included in the List of Topics, and was generally considered as Number 1 Concern for the People throughout Europe, (See : http://www.eurofora.net/newsfl ashes/news/euparliamentelectoraldebatemaimed.html).
(b) Soon afterwards, on May 24, a bloody Neal Bomb Explosion, (at a pedestrian street in a shopping center, a busy Day), hits 13 Victims who are Wounded and Hospitalized, including 9 Women and a Girl aged 8 y.o., several among whom, must be Operated in order to take out of the Wounded Feet various inserted pieces of Metal. Those Explosives are frequently used by Islamist Terrorists, a.o., and the specialized anti-terrorist Police finds that the Perpetrators "acted certainly with the Aim to Kill". An official Investigation for attempts of Murders in relation with a Terrorist activity, started.
Various relevant Statements were made by French President Macron, CoE Assembly's President Pasquier, and Rightist opposition leader Marine Le Pen, etc. See: http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/paceheadonlyonterrorattackinvestigation.html).
(c) But, suddenly, on 24-26 May, what a Surprize : The 1st (and during More than a Day: Unique) PHOTO of the "Wanted" Bomber, Published by the Police, at an Official Document (called "Appel à Temoins" = "Call for Witnesses"), astonishingly pictures an invisible Face, Hidden under a complete Cover 100% !
Head, Eyes and all the rest of that Head were Totaly Covered, by a Hat, big Black Glasses, and Something Else which Hides even his Ears, Mouth, Cheeks, Neck, Thorax, etc... (it all looks as a kind of Grey/Black strange ...Burka, or, rather, an afterwards added Paint, as often done in Police Photos in order to Blurr the Image of unrelated Persons, etc).
And this unique Suspect Bloody Bomber is Wanted Urgently, because he still is on the Run, and officially declared as "Dangerous"...
Naturally, that 1st, Falsified "Official" PHOTO, which obviously HINDERS to see anything from the FACE of Lyon's bloody Nail Bomber, (Comp. Supra), immediately Started to Provoke various Question-Marks, Protests, Criticism and Denunciations by Many People, at several Web a.o. Fora.
>>> But it's Only More than one whole Day Later, (from Friday Afternoon until ...Saturday late Evening !), that the Police, at last, accepted to simply issue a follow-up Publication Adding +2 OTHER PHOTOS, which, at last, were Not Blurred (so that the Face of that Bearded Bloody Neal Bomber could be seen), Contrary to the 1st one. And this was done with a Minimum (if not at all) of Mediatic Impact, since Most Medias had already Finished their Week-End Editions...
=> Result : The Identity of the Bloody Lyon Bomber is practically Hidden to the People as they arrive to the Crucial Election Day, withOut even Knowing that the Nail Bombing against 13 Civilian Victims Wounded, was, in fact, an Islamist Terrorist attack !
On the Contrary, some_Morbid "Trolls" went as far as to even Spread "Fake "News" suggesting that the Aggressor might have been a ...French or other European Rightist, seeking to Slander some Foreigners, Mass Migrants and/or Muslim Groups, in order to Manipulate the EU Elections !...
Thus, EU Citizens inevitably started to Question, Suspect, and Later Realize, that some, inside the Establishment, probably prefer to Hide a Bloody Criminal, (with the Risk to Escape Punishment, and/or Attack and Kill More Civilian People), than lose Votes, if the Truth was Revealed before the 26 May crucial EU Election of 2019...
(*DLR : Partly UPDATED) Indeed, Once 2 quasi-Normal Photos were, at last, Published by the Police, even too Late for the Democratic process, (Comp. Supa), immediately, more than ..."600" Witnesses rushed to Phone to the Public Authorities, and Help Identify, very Fast, as the Number 1 Suspect for that Bloody Nail Bombing which Targetted 13 Wounded and Hospitalized Civilian People at Lyon,
a reportedly Irregular Migrant, Mr. Mohamed Hichem M., who Recently arrived in Europe from Algeria since only 2017, but had been Rejected by a School for Computers, and was, (according to his "Best Friend", Mr. Islaam), a practicing "Muslim, Praying, and following Ramadan", "Discussing Religion, speaking of the Prophet and about the Coran", claiming that "Syria" was just "a Problem between Bassar-el-Assad and his People" (sic !), and, "even if he had the Competences to Make a Bomb", nevertheless, "wouldn't have harmed anyone", since "he was Never Violent" (re-sic !)... Just this "Sunday" (i.e. 1,5 Day after Wounding 11 People with a Nail Bomb Explosion), "we spoke about the Football Cup", (Not of Europe or the World, but only "of Africa"), as he boasted..., (according to an Interview just published by Newspaper "le Parisien" - UPDATED).
Speaking of ...Football, During that Same Time, at least 2 Young Girls were Obliged to be "Operated in a Hospital, under General Anesthesia", in order to Extract "Many Pieces of Metal" from their Legs, where they had been Brutaly Inserted when "that Nail Bomb had Explosed only 2 Meters from them" at Lyon, as their Father had earlier denounced.
=> So that, when European People are so scandalously Hindered to know the Truth on Time, on Who is the Criminal Responsible for Bloody Terrorist Attacks targetting innocent Civilians, (Comp. Supra), shortly after having even been Hindered to simply watch, at least, a promised Debate, between Top Candidates in EU Elections, about the Need to Better Protect Citizens from Bloody Islamist Terrorism, as that which Wounded 11 Victims, (9 Women, and a Small Girl 8 y.o., several Hospitalized, and some Operated under General Anaesthesia), etc,
+while, too Many Thousands among those same Europeans, have also been, Recently, Massively Censored, and/or Banned, therefore Hindered to Express themselves, Communicate and/or Debate in Public at the Internet, by many Controversial and UnPopular, Oppressive and Massive Foreign Interferences, mainly by Big "GAFA" Corporations, (i.e. Private Businesses), in blatant Collusion with USA's Political Left, f.ex. in California, Nancy Pelosi, etc., and even several EU Bodies and/or Governing Politicians (mostly of the Left),
=> then, it's only Natural for EU Citizens to, suddenly, spontaneously and massively Rush towards the Only Democratic Tool that they still Disposed, i.e. this, 2019 EU Election's Vote, with the Result to, UnExpectedly Reach a more than 20 Years' Historic Record High Participation (Comp. Supra) !...

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..
