The President of the European Council, António Costa
The Trump administration will “aggressively pursue goals” of aligning Europe with the North American vision of what immigration policies, regulatory laws, national identities and freedom of expression should be. And Elon Musk wants to “abolish the EU”. António Costa reacted: “Europe is sovereign!”
The President of the European Council, Antonio Costastated this Monday that Europe cannot accept a “threat of interference in your political life”, after the new security strategy of the USA, which points out strong criticism of Europeansand on Saturday Elon Musk have appealed to.
“We cannot accept this threat of interference in the political life of Europe”, declared Costa, in an intervention at the Jacques Delors Institute, highlighting that “the United States cannot replace citizens Europeans in choosing which are the good parties and the bad parties”.
The US Administration, led by Donald Trumpreleased on Friday a document that redefines its “National Security Strategy”.The long-awaited document formalizes the offensive launched by Washington against the European continent for months.
According to AFP, among the targets of the Trump Administrationare the European institutions that claim undermine “political freedom and sovereignty”, migration policies, “censorship of freedom of expression and repression of political opposition, the collapse of birth rates and the loss of national identities and self-confidence” in Europe.
The document makes clear that the United States, under Trump’s leadership, will aggressively pursue similar goals in Europein line with the agendas of far-right parties, adding that the government would be “cultivate resistance to Europe’s trajectory within European nations“.
“We have differences in our views of the world, but this goes beyond that. This strategy continues to talk about Europe as an allybut if we are allies, we must act as allies” and respect each other’s sovereigntydefended António Costa.
The President of the European Council adds that “the United States cannot replace Europe in its vision of freedom of expression. The USA continues to be a important ally, an economic partner important. But our Europe must be sovereign”, he concluded.
In its “National Security Strategy”, the US warns of the danger of “civilizational extinction” of Europeif “current trends” continue.
“If current trends continue, Europe will be unrecognizable within 20 years or less”, reads the 33-page document, analyzed by the AFP, which defends the US “restoration of supremacy” in Latin America.
Trump, in the preface, summarizes: “We put America first in everything what we do. It is more than plausible that, within a few decades at most, members of the NATO become predominantly non-European”.
“It is legitimate to question whether they will realize their place in the world or its alliance with the USA, in the same way as those who signed the organization’s charter”.
Washington expresses the desire that “Europe remains Europeanrecover your civilizational self-confidence and abandon your fruitless obsession with regulatory suffocation”.
In the text, it is further argued that “the era of mass migrations must end” and that “border security is the primary element of U.S. national security.”
Among other aspects, the US strategy announces a readjustment of its military presence in the world, “to respond to emerging threats” on that continent and a “moving away from ‘theaters’ [de operações] whose relative importance to American national security has diminished in recent years or decades.”
In line with these considerations, last Saturday, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk, called for the “abolition” of the EUafter denouncing the “community bureaucratic system”, which is “ slowly suffocate Europe to death”.
Musk’s statements came following the announcement, on Friday, of a fine of 120 million of euros that the European Commission invested in its social network X, due to the “misleading design” of your blue seal account verification.
In a long series of messages, Elon Musk considered the fine imposed by the EU as a Brussels’ attack on freedom of expression and a bad example of supranational sovereignty exercised against the interests of the Member States.
“The best way to find out who the bad guys are It’s about seeing who wants to restrict freedom of expression”, lamented Musk, following the sanction applied to the platform.
This is a European Commission that “worships the god of bureaucracy and is suffocating the people of Europe”, accused Musk in his series of brief messages. “The bureaucracy of the European Union”, insisted, “it is slowly suffocating Europe until death.”
That’s why, , “The EU should be abolished and sovereignty should be returned to individual countries, so that governments can better represent its people.”
