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

LARGE PRO-DEMOCRACY PROTESTS PLANNED

January 23 protest in Brussels for freedom, peace, and democracy
