MEPs warn that under the leadership of Germany’s Ursula von der Leyen, the EU is changing from a democracy to a tyranny

By · January 13, 2022 · 2 min read

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – European members of parliament (MEPs) warned in a press conference that more and more EU countries are turning away from democracy, trampling on the fundamental EU civil rights guaranteed in the EU treaty, and violating human rights. Democracy, freedom, and peace are no longer guaranteed in the EU.

Here are the highlights:

ITALIAN MEP FRANCESCA DONATO ABOUT SITUATION IN ITALY

  • The collapse of the health care system in Italy is a reality
  • Italian MEP Francesca Donato warned of civil war in Italy; could spread to other EU members
  • The unvaccinated minority is persecuted
  • EU Council must intervene immediately
  • Feeling among the population in Italy is that president Mario Draghi is untouchable
  • Why are so many people hospitalized and dying despite 90% of Italians being fully vaccinated?
  • Why has the Italian health institute not published monthly reports since September 2021?
  • People injured by vaccines do not receive any assistance from public health services.
  • Why is no compensation paid to people who lost relatives because of vaccine adverse events?
  • Why is there no transparency guaranteed to people? Why is there no investigation about the ingredients of these injections?

ROMANIAN MEP CRISTIAN TERHES

  • EU, under the leadership of the German Ursula von der Leyen, is transitioning from democracy to tyranny
  • Police brutality unseen in the EU and for him, being a Romanian and having lived through Sowjet occupation, unseen since Sowjets left Romania
  • EU became the Iron Fist – Iron Curtain was nothing in comparison
  • Europeans are not allowed to protest anymore. If protesting, they are attacked and beaten by police
  • People’s fundamental rights were stripped from them by their governments
  • What is the direction that European citizens allow the EU to take
  • Do we live in Europe as an area of freedom as the treaty says, or do we accept this EU under the leadership of Ursula von der Leyen to become a prison camp
