Defense alliance plan to support Ukraine raises concerns EU leadership wants to push Europe into war with Russia
Vienna(OTS) – Today, Ursula von der Leyen is likely to be re-elected as President of the European Commission. “Not the voice of liberals, but the voice of European patriots,” declared MEP Petra Steger.
“The most dangerous threat in her speech today was the announcement of a European Defense Union. It would be nothing more than an EU army. The fact that von der Leyen raised this desire while also asking for direct support for Ukraine shows that belligerence The behavior will continue and Europe will become further involved in the war with Russia – possibly even with soldiers from EU countries,” Steger said. . “The fact that von der Leyen says the people of Ukraine only want peace, while at the same time denigrating Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s peace mission, is unsurpassed in terms of hypocrisy.”
Von der Leyen’s announcements on asylum and immigration policy, despite their huge impact on society, seem to her to be a marginal issue and completely inadequate. “She might have addressed the growth issues announced by FRONTEX long ago, but she may not do so once more. In any case, she prefers to rely on agreements with unreliable countries and the already-failed asylum and immigration deals that, apart from distribution There are no rules except for illegal immigrants who have already arrived,” criticized the EU lawmaker.
Their promises to the economy and farmers are equally worthless. “Of the two subjects, the most important for her is to point out climate change. But it is the madness of climate that bankrupts industry and deprives farmers of their livelihoods through measures such as the Return of the Law. It’s called the Clean Industry Deal ’’s industrial plans will also be funded by a dedicated competitiveness fund. In simple language, this means that future generations – especially net donor countries like Austria – should pay back more common debt,” Steger said.
It is particularly cynical to want to worry regarding the mental health of young people “while at the same time showing no self-criticism of the damaging coronavirus measures that are driving young people into depression and loneliness,” pointed out the liberal EU president.
Von der Leyen showed her true colors when she talked regarding defending democracy that only a “strong Europe” can achieve, while lamenting that Europe cannot change election results in other parts of the world. “Democrats accept the election results and do not want to change them. On the other hand, von der Leyen’s concept has nothing to do with real democracy. An essential element of it is the suppression of other opinions, including boycotting her commission on Hungary,” Steger said. and the widespread censorship she announced on social media today. “
The announcement of changes to EU treaties should also be viewed as a dangerous threat. “This has meant before and will mean once more: less sovereignty of the member states and more centralization. However, citizens have had enough of such an EU. If, as von der Leyen claims, their demands for Europe are growing day by day , then they need a Europe made up of homelands that defends its identity and values, does not trample on them and does not lead to disintegration by abandoning them through mass immigration.
