My acknowledgement for the 15th place on the European Pro-Life Personalities list

On the 10th October 2012, the European Parliamentary Forum on Population and Development organized a meeting entitled "Anti-Choice Opposition in Europe: Recent trends in the global war on women on the European front". This Forum presents itself as a network of MPs from across Europe who are interested in protecting women's sexual and reproductive rights, supporting the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development. During this meeting, a list with the "Top 27 European Anti-choice Personalities" was presented and spread. I was classified as no 15 on this Top 27. 

My official reaction is that it was for me an honor to learn that the activities to protect life have been clearly visible and note-worthy in the eyes of this European Parliamentary Forum. From all the Europeans, they classified me with a prominent place in this Top. Also both the ECPM and the ECPF were frequently mentioned in the annexe describing the "anti-choice landscape at national levels of 32 European countries".
 
Although it is flattering to see my name and organization mentioned in these documents, they have picked an entirely inappropriate title for this classification of European personalities. I would characterize myself as "pro-life" but certainly not as "anti-choice". I want to defend the right to live of the unborn, who are not able to choose for themselves against the rights of the woman who wants to kill the unborn. Moreover, many of the pro-abortion movements see the ending of the life of the unborn mostly as the only and best choice. The discussions in the media and in the parliamentary health commission in Romania concerning a legislative proposal offering the women mandatory counseling before abortion, really proved this. The media and commission were attacking this proposal fiercely, but does the unwillingly pregnant woman not really have the right to choose for life or for death of the unborn child? Who is "anti-choice" in this respect? 

So, thank you European Parliamentary Forum on Population and Development for granting me the honor to be amongst the top 27 European Personalities. However, change the name from anti-choice into pro-life and I would be honored to spread and publish this list everywhere I can.

    Each choice is a limited choice and hard choices are often made by the representatives of a collective. But what would be the choice of those who are wilfully deprived of any opportunity to make a choice on this earth for ever? So if people seek righteousness in order that those who could be born can make many choices for themselves, how on earth is it possible that their efforts are called anti-choice? If someone wants to become thankful for his own life, let he or she search the unexpected opportunities that can make those little ones to become thankful as well.

Corruption Scandal on the Sale of Schengen Visas in Malta discussed in the European Parliament

Ivan Grech Mintoff (leader of the ECPM-Member Party Alleanza Bidla) presented in the Maltese court  a transcript of the testimonies of several Libyans who claimed that in 2015, they bought an unknown number of humanitarian medical visas from an official in the Office of the of the Maltese Prime Minister. These medical visas are not supposed to be sold. Following an agreement between Malta and Libya, they are issued for free. The documents submitted in the court also claim that Schengen visas were illicitly sold at the Maltese Consulate in Tripoli over a period of 14 months (in 2013 and 2014). In this period, 88000 Schengen Visas (300 visas per day including Saturdays and Sundays) have been sold. This illegal scheme could have earned the perpetrators millions of euros.  Although the Consulate in Tripoli has closed, it is unclear if this practice has stopped or is still continuing via other countries or Malta up to today. On the 27th of June, ECPM invited Mr Mintoff to the E...

Third refusal of the registration of the Belarusian Christian Democracy, despite of international pressure

Some time ago,I wrote here about the situation in Belarus concerning the Belarusian Christian Democracy and their attempts to legally register their party. Recently a new constituency congress was organized in order to try to register the party for the third time. However, on the same day that the EU Council of Foreign Ministers will discuss about the "Belarusian issue", from their press center I received the news that it is unlikely that the party will be officially registered this time On October,24 expired the term allocated by the law for making decision on registration of the Belarusian Christian Democracy party, It is worth mentioning that on September 12, 2010 the third Constituent Congress of the BCD was held and on September,19 the Belarusian Christian Democracy party applied for registration to the Ministry of Justice. But with the looming prospect of the meeting of the Council of EU Foreign Ministers to be held today, on the 25th of October in Brussels, during whic...
