π£The EU Agency for Fundamental Rights denies human rights to European citizens and operates as an Anglo-Saxon neocolonialist agency π£
Statement by Kadmo Pagano, journalist and host of the geopolitics and culture program “Translimen” on Radio Radicale; Secretary of ERA, an NGO affiliated with the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights NGO Platform (FRA-FRP) and the United Nations ECOSOC.
The FRA and the European Commission have concluded their survey on Human Rights in Europe, particularly focusing on the existence/overcoming of linguistic and cultural barriers in each member state.
Surprisingly, this survey was not available in any of the official languages of the member states, in any of each official language as communicated by the different member statesΒ to the Council of the European Union. Whereas this should have been available in all 23 languages communicated to the EU by each nation.
“It’s unacceptable,” Giorgio Kadmo Pagano declared on Radio Radicale, “that the FRA and the Commission conduct a survey on linguistic and cultural human rights in member countries, while they themselves exhibit such a gross discrimination towards all 445 million Euro-citizens by requesting information in an official language that has been illegal in the EU since 2016, a language that no member state has officially adopted since the UK’s departure.”
The fact that English became an illegal language in the EU after the UK’s departure was extensively and publicly denounced by Danuta HΓΌbner, President of the Committee on Constitutional Affairs of the European Parliament (AFCO), in a special press conference at the European Parliament on June 27, 2016.
According to the EU Treaty, the reasons are simple:
1. It is up to the Member states to communicate their official language to the Council of the European Union in accordance with their constitution, and the Council ratifies it.
2. Multilingual member states can communicate only one official language following the priority given to it in their Constitution .
The two former British colonies in the EU, in their respective Constitutions, have Irish and Maltese as their primary languages. As prescribed by the Treaty, these countries have declared these languages as official to the Council of the European Union.
We are therefore facing two serious defaults by no less then three EU institutions:
The first is a questionnaire survey by the FRA and the Commission, which is not available in any of the official languages of the EU.
The second is the failure of the Council of the European Union, even after 7 years since the UK’s departure, to acknowledge that English is no longer an official EU language since it has not been declared as such by any member state. This was concluded by the Secretary of the ERA.
