French minister investigated after rape allegations

French prosecutors said on Wednesday they were investigating a junior minister in President Emmanuel Macron's government after two allegations of rape were brought against her. The rape allegations go back to when Chrysoula Zacharopoulou -- who is now state secretary for development, Francophonie and international partnerships -- still worked as a gynaecologist, according to French magazine Marianne. One complaint was lodged May 25 and the investigation opened two days later, the prosecutors said. The second complaint was filed on June 16. Both allege that the assaults happened in the context of medical care. Greece-born Zacharopoulou, 46, joined the government of Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne in May, having been a member of the European Parliament for the previous three years. She reports to Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna. She gained prominence in the mid-2010s by campaigning for greater public awareness of endometriosis together with actress Julie Gayet, who this year married France's former president Francois Hollande. She also wrote a report on the illness for the French government. Zacharopoulou was strongly involved in the UN's COVAX coronavirus vaccine rollout effort, and has spoken out in favor of women's reproductive rights. She was a member of the European Parliament's women's rights commission during her time there. Zacharopoulou studied medicine in Italy before moving to France to practice first in the Begin military hospital near Paris, and then in the Paris hospital service AP-HP. Contacted by AFP Wednesday, AP-HP said it had no knowledge of any complaints against her. The French foreign ministry did not respond to AFP's requests for comment. The accusations against Zacharopoulou are not the first rape allegations to shadow Macron's government and come at a time of political difficulty for the president after he failed to retain an overall majority in parliamentary elections. Prosecutors investigated Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin over an allegation for rape filed in 2017. He denied any wrongdoing and prosecutors in January asked for the case to be dropped. Solidarities minister Damien Abad was also the target of rape allegations in a controversy that erupted last month, but French prosecutors have said they are not currently opening an investigation. © 2022 AFP

Why monkeypox may soon get a new name

Monkeypox may soon have a new name after scientists called for a change to dispel stereotypes of Africa being seen as a crucible of disease. The World Health Organization announced last week that it is "working with partners and experts from around the world on changing the name of monkeypox virus, its clades and the disease it causes." Monkeypox's clades, which are different branches of the virus' family tree, have been particularly controversial because they are named after African regions. Last year the WHO officially named Covid-19 variants after Greek letters to avoid stigmatizing the places where they were first detected. Just days before the WHO announced it would change monkeypox's name, a group of 29 scientists wrote a letter saying there is an "urgent need for a non-discriminatory and non-stigmatizing nomenclature" for the virus. The letter, signed by several prominent African scientists, called for the names of the "West African" and the "Central African" or "Congo Basin" monkeypox clades to be changed. Until a few months ago, monkeypox had largely been confined to West and Central Africa. But since May, a new version has spread across much of the world. The letter's signatories suggested naming this version as a new clade, giving it "the placeholder label hMPXV" -- for human monkeypox virus. Out of the more than 2,100 monkeypox cases recorded globally this year, 84 percent were in Europe, 12 percent in the Americas and just three percent in Africa, according to the WHO's latest update last week. 'NOT A MONKEY DISEASE' Oyewale Tomori, a virologist at Redeemer's University in Nigeria, said he supported changing the name of monkeypox's clades. "But even the name monkeypox is aberrant. It is not the right name," he told AFP. "If I were a monkey, I would protest because it's not really a monkey disease." The virus was named after it was first discovered among monkeys in a Danish lab in 1958, but humans have mostly contracted the virus from rodents. The letter pointed out that "nearly all" outbreaks in Africa were sparked by people catching the virus from animals -- not from other people. But the current outbreak "is unusual in that it is purely spreading through human to human transmission," said Olivier Restif, an epidemiologist at the University of Cambridge. "So, it is fair to say that the current outbreak has very little to do with Africa, in the same way that the Covid-19 waves and variants we're still being battered by have little to do with the Asian bats from which the virus originally came a few years ago." - 'Stigmatization of Africa' - Moses John Bockarie of Sierra Leone's Njala University said he agreed with the call to change monkeypox's name. "Monkeys are usually associated with the global south, especially Africa," he wrote in The Conversation. "In addition, there is a long dark history of black people being compared to monkeys. No disease nomenclature should provide a trigger for this." Restif said it was "important to highlight that this debate is part of a larger issue with stigmatization of Africa as a source of disease." "We've seen it most strikingly with HIV in the 1980s, with Ebola during the 2013 outbreak and again with Covid-19 and the reactions to the so-called 'South African variants'," he told AFP. An African press group has also expressed "its displeasure against media outlets using images of black people alongside stories of the monkeypox outbreak in North America and the United Kingdom. "We condemn the perpetuation of this negative stereotype that assigns calamity to the African race and privilege or immunity to other races," The Foreign Press Association, Africa tweeted last month. Restif pointed out that the "old stock photographs of African patients" used by Western media usually depict severe symptoms. But the monkeypox spreading around the world "is much milder, which partly explains how easily it gets transmitted," he said. The WHO will announce the new monkeypox names "as soon as possible", its chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said. The UN agency is also holding an emergency committee meeting on Thursday to assess whether the outbreak represents a public health emergency of international concern -- the highest alarm it can sound. © 2022 AFP

Bulgaria is the only EU member state to have a decline, albeit a slight one, in the percentage of people who think the Union is a good thing. Almost half of Bulgarians have a positive attitude towards China and Russia, and over 50% have a negative attitude towards the United States. These are the results of a special Eurobarometer survey for the spring of 2022. Almost two-thirds of Europeans consider EU membership a good thing, the highest result since 2007. Exceptions are Greece and Slovakia, where more respondents consider it "_neither good nor bad_". Compared to the last survey of the European Parliament from the end of 2021, the results of this indicator have increased significantly in most member states, while in Bulgaria there is a slight decline of 2 percentage points - to 47%. MEMBER STATES' ASSESSMENTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION   Nearly half of the Bulgarians surveyed - 49 percent, have a positive view of the EU, which is a decrease of 2 percentage points compared to the end of 2021.
