(4 years ago)Democracy Movement in Europe 2025, also known as DiEM25, which is a pan-European movement and which thinks the European Union can survive only if it is transformed radically, recently through a petition has demanded the dismissal of European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy representative Josep Borrell. The reason [...]
The reason this movement is seeking the dismissal of the European top diplomat, Borrell, is due to a speech his latest in the inauguration of the European Diplomatic Academy's pilot programme run by Federica Moghrini.
The problem according to the Movement lies in how Borrell, the rest of the world, views as <x0Wandle”.
According to them, by portraying Europe “as a garden built by Europeans” and the rest of the world, the outside of Europe “si a jungle aimed at occupying the garden”, that is, Europe, has decoupled the terrible “racist and colonial” mentality of senior officials who are leading the Union.
It will not be protected by building walls. A beautiful little garden surrounded by high walls to prevent jungle entry will not be a solution. Because the jungle has a strong capacity for growth and the wall will never be high enough to protect garden”, Borrell is said to have said at a public event with the next generation of EU diplomats, which the Movement is countering.
This supposed analogy must be unacceptable, regardless of the context. Calling most of the rest of the world a jungle, Borrell has degraded billions of people who live in a part of the undeveloped world as a direct result of the colonial heritage of Europe, and has shown that, far from the desire to pay off this immense injustice, his main priority is his immortality”, the communique for media issued by this movement.
So Borrell's behavior, according to the DiEM25, is simply inappropriate for the office he holds.
“We demand his immediate resignation”, the communiqué concludes.
