STOCKHOLM, August 21. /TASS/. A member of Finland’s national-conservative Freedom Alliance party, Armando Mema, accused European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen of hypocrisy for urging EU countries to rearm over an alleged threat from Russia while also saying that preserving peace is the bloc’s main mission.
"Ursula von der Leyen says that the mission of the EU is to preserve Peace. <...> No matter how beautifully Ursula might speak, the 800-billion-euro re-armament is the biggest threat to Peace. Russia will see it as a direct threat to its security. It appears clear that the EC President is affected by hallucinations and mental instability, Russia does not have any intention to attack Europe," the Finnish politician wrote on his X page.
He stressed that von der Leyen tends to baselessly accuse Russia of violating the airspace of European countries. At the same time, she deliberately ignores the Nord Stream explosions, which, according to a preliminary investigation by Germany’s Federal Prosecutor General’s Office, involved Ukrainian nationals.
"Ursula is doing nothing for Peace, is in fact doing everything in the opposite direction for War," Mema added.
