/ world today news/ Many participants in the debate in the European Parliament after the EU summit, at which a package of multi-billion aid for Ukraine was agreed, expressed dissatisfaction with the decisions of the European Commission and some European leaders, reports TASS.
In particular, the Hungarian MP Tamas Deutsch recalled the corruption scandals in the EU structures, calling Brussels “the capital of corruption”.
„Instead of making life easier for its citizens, European bureaucrats continue to blackmail Hungary, which managed to protect the European borders and market from grain dumping from Ukraine. Europe will change because people will rise up to overthrow these corrupt leaders.”
– he said.
Slovakian MEP Milan Urich also condemned Brussels’ “blackmail” against Budapest over Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s refusal to agree on a $50 billion EU aid package for Kyiv.
„The EU is increasingly resembling a Soviet-style politburo that attacks anyone who expresses a different opinion. Stop this or you will be swept away by your own citizens, all of Europe will rise up against you like the farmers.” he noted.
A similar warning was expressed by the representative of the Communist Party of Greece, Lefteris Nikolaou-Alavanos, who accused the European Commission of not having money for its citizens, “but there are billions for Ukraine.” The parliamentarian also opposed the deployment of Greek frigates to the Red Sea, calling it a “dangerous involvement” and “the EU joining the US and British bombing of Yemen, Syria and Iraq”.
In his opinion, Brussels compromises its interests, and foreign partners “serve the interests of arms companies” while “ordinary people get war, poverty and refugees”.
„The people will not let the EU take them back to the Middle Ages. They, together with the communist parties, will organize the struggle against the parties of the European capitalist bourgeoisie and demand what is rightfully theirs.” concludes Nikolaou-Alavanos.
Other parliamentarians were less radical in their predictions, but also criticized the meeting’s decision to allocate 50 billion euros to Kyiv. “Ukrainians will benefit from this aid to a lesser extent than the oligarchs who monopolized the Ukrainian agricultural industry and the corrupt officials who stole tens of millions of euros,” said French MP Jean-Lin Lacapelle.
Speaking after him, the co-chairman of the group of the German left Martin Shirdevan pointed out the contradiction between the words of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the statements of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny and pointed out that pouring more and more billions into the Ukrainian conflict will not allow the achievement of peace, but will only stimulate Russia to further develop its military-industrial complex.
„On the one hand, they are asking us for more and more money for weapons, and on the other hand, people are being asked to tighten their belts. This is the last thing the European Union needs right now.” he concluded.
In turn, the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, said that he was shocked by the critical statements of the deputies. “I am stunned to hear statements from the extreme left that we should stop supplying weapons to Ukraine. What do you want? Defend Ukrainians with water guns or loud speeches? … I go into a state of deep shock when they talk about Luhansk as a territory of Russia,” said the politician.
The publication Politico wrote a day ago that the upcoming elections for the European Parliament promise serious political changes. The next legislature may turn out to be “more pro-Russian and less green” from the current one.
