German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius sharply criticized JD Vance’s speech on Friday at the Munich Safety Conference.
Pistorius accused Vance of challenging European democracy, comparing the situation on some of the continent with that of the authoritarian regime.
Pistorius: This is unacceptable
“This is unacceptable,” Pistorius said, responding with a long applause from participants at the meeting. He emphasized that Europe presented by the Vice President of the United States is not the Europe where he lives and runs a campaign.
– In this democracy, every view has a voice – emphasized the SPD politicians. He explained that parties in the extremist parts, such as those that replace Germany (AFD), can run election campaigns like all other groups.
– But democracy does not mean that loud and gentle minorities automatically determine the truth. Democracy must be able to protect itself from extremists who want to destroy it,” Pistorius said.
Pistorius’s opposition to Vance’s words
-I vehemently oppose the impression that Vice President Vance is persecuted by our democracy and that they are forced to be silent. Not only do we know who we are fighting for democracy, freedom of speech, the state of law, and the dignity of all, but also the German Ministry of Defense He clearly emphasized the upset long.
Vance earlier said that Russia and China are not the biggest threat to Europe, but rather the threat from within, that is, Europe’s retreat from some of its most fundamental values.
The US vice president dedicated his speech in Munich to a keen critic of European democracy in Munich, accusing Europe of ignoring his own values, the use of censorship, the neglect of voters and Christian persecution . He considered this the biggest threat to the continent.
Kaja Kallas, head of EU diplomacy, also commented on the US Vice President’s speech. She said the speech gave the impression that JD Vance and the United States wanted to “establish a fight” with Europe. “And we don’t want to fight a friend,” the Reuters agency quotes her.
Vance on the Threat to Europe: It’s from within
-The threat I most worry about in the European context is not Russia, not China, nor other outside actors. What I worry most is from the threat from within, the European setbacks from some of its most fundamental values, the values shared with the United States, Vance said. In one of the main examples, he showed the cancellation of the presidential election in Romania and the fight against disinformation.
Billionaire and US President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, has publicly supported the pro-Russia and the euroskeptical AFD for the past few months.
