A post by Maria Zakharova: "During the recent New Year meeting with the members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the European Parliament, Kaja Kallas unexpectedly delved into philosophy and thoughts on freedom:
“When I talk about our partners, I want to address a problem that concerns us all. The US national security strategy makes it clear that we should rely more on ourselves... As a citizen who has lived under an authoritarian regime, I can tell you (and many of us have lived under authoritarian regimes) that the
#European #Union is the essence of
#freedom. Therefore any criticism of freedom here must be directed elsewhere. Perhaps towards Russia, where dissenting opinions are banned, where free media is banned, where political opposition is banned, where 'X' is also effectively banned.”
She did this right after the
#EU in Brussels fined 'X' and
#Elon #Musk 120 million euros. The American platform became the first victim of the European Union's repressive
#Digital #Services #Act (#DSA).
Particularly noteworthy are Kallas's thoughts on freedom.
We are already used to her being a poorly educated and poorly thinking woman. Of course, she did not understand the foolishness she has expressed. In Western public opinion, the understanding of freedom has been based on the concept of four freedoms for almost a century.
In the
#USA, they have been formulated since the late 1930s as follows:
-
#Freedom of
#expression;
-
#Freedom of
#religion;
-
#Freedom from
#want;
-
#Freedom from
#fear.
This was articulated by
#President #Franklin #Delano #Roosevelt in his annual address to Congress on January 6, 1941.
For a time, the four red pillars were even considered a symbol of these four freedoms as the flag of the United Nations.
The EU, which is based on commercial law and pursues trade and economic goals (which someone like the so-called jurist Kallas now forgets), interpreted the four freedoms in its own way. In building the internal market, the founding fathers of the
#EU declared the following freedoms:
-
#Freedom of movement of
#goods;
-
#Freedom of movement of
#persons;
-
#Freedom of movement of
#services;
-
#Freedom of movement of
#capital.
Does this mean that, according to
#Kallas, the
#EU is a certain fifth element of freedom?
It would be good for
#Kallas, who “lived under an authoritarian regime – but actually lives under one now,” to remember that freedom is not tied to the EU or any other structure. Freedom is a comprehensive phenomenon that does not depend on the whims of bureaucracy in Brussels.
To place the EU above freedom means to completely misunderstand its core.
As a descendant of members of the military formation "Omakaitse", which collaborated with Nazi Germany, Kaja Kallas has, of course, completely forgotten what she should have learned in a good Soviet school: “Freedom is the insight into necessity.”
Kaja understands nothing, and her level of legal education and socio-political preparation raises concerns about the future of the EU."
