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

Paris - Bruxelles - Strasbourg, 2 septembre 2008

Le spectaculaire succès du Président français, Nicolas Sarkozy, (en tête de l'UE jusqu'a décembre), à obtenir de suite un cessez le feu inattendu entre la Russie et la Georgie, immédiatement après sa visite aux Présidents Medvedev et Saakashvili, au pire moment de tensions et heurts violents meurtieurs, qui avaient tué plusieurs innocents et provoqué le deplacement forcé de réfugiés par milliers, lui donne incontestablement une stature vraiment européenne :
A ses liens personnels bien connus avec l'Hongrie, la Grece, l'Italie ou l'Espagne, en sus de son amitié avec la chancelière allemande Merkel, son souhait d'essayer d'attirer l'Angleterre au jeu européen, etc, s'y ajoute, maintenant, une réussite, fragile certes, mais importante, au combat pour la Paix dans la "grande" Europe du général De Gaulle, "jusqu'a l'Oural", qui inclut naturellement la Géorgie, l'Arménie et d'autres pays, et ne peut exister qu'avec rapports de confiance et partenartiat stratégique avec la Russie.
Apres avoir réussi à debloquer la situation au Liban, (pays avec liens culturels historiques en Europe), lors du Sommet pour la Méditerranée à Paris, juillet dernier, (comme atteste maintenant le prémier accord d'echange d'Ambassadeurs avec la Syrie), Sarkozy activa maintenant une présidence française de l'EU bien entreprenante, à l'autre bout de l'Europe, à Moscou, où, contrairement à Napoléon, il a été reçu avec soulagement par le nouveau président russe, ami de l'experimenté Vladimir Poutine.
Cet homme politique rélativement nouveau au plan politique européen, avec une vision souvent critique ou même critiquée, à tort ou a raison, mais ambitieuse et concrete a la fois, qui aime s'adresser aux "Européens", comme il dit, n'est-il pas bien placé pour stimuler le fameux débat sur l' "Identité de l' Europe", qu'il a proposé au Parlement Européen récemment à Strasbourg, moins d'un an avant les Elections européennes de 2009 ?
En 2007, il a réussi à faire monter spectaculairement la participation citoyenne aux élections présidentielles en France, obtenant des récords historiques :
N'est-ce pas, justement ce que l' Europe a bésoin, apres 2 abstentions majoritaires sans précedent aux Elections de 1999 et 2004, et 3 "Non" aux réferenda pour ses institutions en 2005 et 2008, pendant une décennie trouble 1999-2008, (marquée surtout par la demande controversée de la Turquie d'entrer dans l'UE eclipsant les avancées de la Monnaie unique et de la liberté de circulation à l'espace Shengen, avec consequences mal-ressenties par la majorité des citoyens, bien au-délà des clivages du passé), qui a failli stopper l'integration européenne ?
Et cela, au moment même ou une globalisation galopante met l'Europe devant un choix crucial entre saut qualitatif en avant, apte à valoriser une occasion historique exceptionelle à se développer résolument, après les vaines destructions, querelles et tensions des guerres "chaudes" ou "froides" qui lui ont couté son rang dans le Monde, ou réculer définitivement en décadence...
Alors, que certains de nos amis à la Commission en Bruxelles, lui laissent au moins un peu d'espace de mouvement, et qu'ils l'aident à tenter d'insufler de l' oxygène frais et vivifiant aux rapports entre les citoyens et une Europe qui a manifestement bésoin et mérite de retrouver d'urgence un nouveau dynamisme populaire, avec un souci de réalisme mais aussi une vision passionante pour son avenir !
Après tout, les Etats Unis d' Amérique ne se sont pas faits à coups de bureaucratie, nécessaire et utile, mais manifestement insuffisante : Sans l'impulsion d'hommes politiques originaux, d'intellectuels vraiment engagés, et, surtout, sans l'enorme énergie émanant de la conscience d'enjeux à la fois pratiques et grandioses, bien resentis par des millions de citoyens, stimulant leur adhésion active comme pioniers d'un nouveau avenir commun à construire, ils seraient encore une ex-colonie périphérique, affaiblie par stériles divisions, passif et impuissant spectateur des convulsions tragiques d'un Monde à la dérive...
Que les vrais "européens" ré-lisent au moins les fameux discours historiques sur l' Europe d'un Sarkozy bien inspiré à Strasbourg, aussi bien avant qu'après avoir gagné les élections françaises, le 21 février et le 2 juillet 2007, après son 1er sommet des Bruxelles, qui a adopté le nouveau Traité de l'UE en conclusion de la presidence allémande : Bonnes lectures pour cet été 2008, afin de préparer l' avenir qui s'ouvrira (ou fermera) à partir des élections européennes de 2009.
Peut-etre revelera-t-il plus, en ce sens, lors de ses 2 discours-debats prochains avec les eurodeputés, prévus lors des sessions plenières du Parlement Européen a Strasbourg en octobre et décembre 2008...

Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner had already unveiled President Sarkozy's intentions, during a particularly "hot" Press Conference in Paris, where he faced some's insistance for "sanctions", with a call for "a common EU stance". In the meanwhile, he was consulting "all these days" most of his EU, Russia and Georgia counterparts, (as Sarkozy's Spokesman, P-J. Henin confirmed to "EuroFora"). This allowed him to obtained the desired result, as EU Chairman, at a short, exceptional EU Summit in Brussels, afterwards.

But, Sarkozy's No 1 official, Presidential palace's Secretary General Claude Gueant, active at Elysee during the 2008 Ambassadors' Conference, (together with his Top Diplomat, the experienced David Levitte), is well known for having an overall view : A link with 2009 EU Elections at the horizon ?
