WHO WANTS TO MODEL GLOBAL VACCINE CERTIFICATE AFTER EU GREEN PASS
The European Union (EU) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have agreed on Monday to use the EU’s corona certificate also known as the “green pass” as a model for a global health certificate. The alleged aim is to ease access to health services in the aftermath the Covid-19 pandemic.
The EU’s corona certificate was a digital or paper proof that a person has been vaccinated, tested negative or recovered from Covid-19. It was used to document the vaccination and infection status of people who travelled within the EU during the pandemic.
The EU and the WHO said that the EU’s corona certificate will be turned into “a global public good” and will be part of a global network for digital health certification.
This will include digitized international vaccination cards, according to WHO chief Tedros Ghebreyesus.
The agreement was signed by Gherbeyesus and EU health commissioner Stella Kyriakides in Geneva. They said it will help protect people from health threats, including future pandemics, and enable safe travel across borders.
However, some critics denounced the agreement as a step towards total control and surveillance of people’s health data and movements. They claim it violates privacy rights and could lead to discrimination and coercion based on vaccination status.
They also questioned the need for such certificates when most of the world has lifted travel restrictions and Covid-19 measures.
ANTIFA ATTACKERS ON TRIAL IN FRANCE
Six young Antifa protestors appeared before the Bordeaux criminal court on Monday. They are charged with aggravated violence in a group against a former right-wing candidate.
The case dates back to July 9, 2022, when a brawl broke out in a Bordeaux bar. About forty people assaulted Pierre Le Camus, a former legislative candidate for the National Rally (RN), and his friends. They were sitting on the terrace of the Mushroom Café and were attacked with furniture, fists and kicks..
Thomas Le Camus, Pierre’s brother, was severely injured and had to undergo several operations. Pierre Le Camus also received four days of incapacity for work as a result of the attack. The attackers allegedly shouted “Bordeaux Antifa” before leaving.
The six defendants admitted to having joined the fight but denied any political motive. They said they followed a crowd out of curiosity or solidarity with their friends. They also said they did not know Pierre Le Camus or his political affiliation.
However, some evidence presented by the Le Camus lawyer contradicted their statements. Photos and videos showed at least two of them posing behind an antifa flag during a recent anti-racist demonstration.
The trial will resume on Tuesday with the pleadings of the civil parties. The prosecutor has requested prison sentences ranging from six months suspended to two years with one year suspended for the defendants.
POLAND DECRIES EU’S “ILLEGAL” DECISION TO BAR HUNGARY’S EUROPEAN PRESIDENCY
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has condemned a European Parliament resolution that blocks Hungary from leading the EU Council next year. He said the vote violated EU rules and endangered the future of Europe.
Morawiecki spoke after a summit of the European Political Community (EPC) in Moldova on Thursday. The EPC is a new forum for political and strategic talks among 47 European countries, created in 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine.
He criticized the decision which first passed on Thursday as breaking EU treaties and harming its governance.
“This is just a hoot on the part of the European Parliament, because it is a clear violation of European rules in their most important form, i.e. treaty rules,” Morawiecki said.
“Destroying the entire management of the EU in this way is a road to the abyss,” he added.
Poland and Hungary have clashed with Brussels over issues such as the rule of law, democracy and migration. Both countries have faced attempts by others to cut off vital funding due to their alleged breaches of EU values.
Hungary is set to take on the Council presidency in the second half of next year, followed by Poland in the first half of 2025. The presidency rotates among EU member states every six months and sets the agenda for EU meetings and policy initiatives.
Morawiecki also warned against attempts by some EU countries to change the voting rules in certain areas from unanimity to qualified majority voting, which would reduce the veto power of smaller or dissenting states.
“If there is an attempt to rape individual EU members, if there is an attempt to force EU countries to a qualified majority in the decision-making process, it will be a path leading astray,” he said.
RESEARCHER NEEDS 24/7 POLICE PROTECTION AFTER EXPOSING MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
French researcher Florence Bergeaud-Blackler has to receive around the clock police protection since publishing her findings on the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe.
Bergeaud-Blackler, who is a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), has investigated the Brotherhood’s strategy, doctrine, organization and methods in Europe for nearly 30 years.
The Brotherhood and its Networks, with a foreword by the renowned Islamic expert Gilles Kepel, is a detailed expose of the secretive organization.
The book reveals how the Brotherhood has penetrated European societies at all levels and how it seeks to impose its views of Sharia on others.
The book has provoked a backlash from the Brotherhood’s supporters, who have called for violence against Bergeaud-Blackler on social media.
She now lives under constant police protection while constantly facing death threats. She says she is resolved to carry on her work despite the intimidation.
The Muslim Brotherhood was established in Egypt in 1928 and has since expanded to many countries.
It is deemed a terrorist organization by several states, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Russia.
