Le Pen Honours Jewish, Polish Victims Of WWII In Warsaw

Warsaw, Dec 3 (AP) French far-right leader Marine Le Pen paid her respects to Jewish and Polish victims of World World II on Friday, on the eve of a Warsaw gathering of right-wing European party leaders that she will attend. Saturday's meeting will be hosted by Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the leader of Poland's conservative nationalist ruling party, Law and Justice. Scheduled attendees include Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, and Polish media say the talks will focus on the future of the European Union. The gathering follows a visit by Le Pen to Budapest in October that was part of an effort by her and Orban to consolidate the European right. It also comes as both the Polish and Hungarian governments remain locked in a bitter standoff with the EU, which is withholding funds to both countries over democratic backsliding in Warsaw and Budapest. Kaczynski's welcome of Le Pen marks a recent change for Poland's ruling conservatives, who had long refused to cooperate with her due to her warm relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin a sensitive topic in a country long dominated by Russian and Soviet rule..

"A collective right becomes superior to an individual right. We will therefore not deny you to stay at home, if you so wish. But it would actually be foolhardy to say you can't force yourself into a taxi of 10 other people who are vaccinated, if you refuse to vaccinate but want to travel with them to work," South Africa's Deputy Health Minister Dr Sibongiseni Dhlomo said on Wednesday.

The Biden administration moved late last month to restrict travel from Southern Africa where the variant was first identified and had been widespread. Clusters of cases have also been identified in about two dozen other nations. The official could not discuss the matter publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was moving to tighten U.S. testing rules for travellers from overseas, including requiring a test for all travellers within a day of boarding a flight to the U.S. regardless of vaccination status.
