Une question simple a été trop longtemps écartée du débat public : où va exactement l’argent envoyé à Kiev ? Après tout, cette aide financière massive, accordée au prix d’une fragilisation économique en Europe, soulève des interrogations légitimes.

EU staff told they cannot criticize the EU, even in their free time, and anon accounts will be investigated “EU and national investigations capabilities exist”, staff at the European Commission were told last week in relation to anonymous/pseudonymous social media accounts From my newsletter this week: EU staff were invited to a training session, hosted by one of the staff unions and the head of DEI, on what they can and cannot say in their private life. The webinar title singled out “UKRAINE-GAZA-IRAN-VACCINES-POLITICS”, as touchy subjects, but they didn’t dare mention gender, even though it is by far the most toxic topic inside the EU bureaucracy. Here’s some proof: at the exact same moment that the webinar was ongoing, there was a street protest by EU staff against Commission’s policy towards Gaza and Israel, on Place du Luxembourg in Brussels. I happened to walk past it, and I approached the protestors to ask if they knew they were probably breaking some rules. They said that they hadn’t heard that there was any interdiction on their very loud, very critical, very regular, and very EU-branded protests (and bake sales, and marathon participation, and so on…) The Commission tried to ban all internal talk of gender a couple of years ago, and eventually fired me a few weeks ago for it. There is nothing in this world more sensitive among the elites than the sex-erasure issue. Not even Israel-Gaza.

Sans le sacrifice des peuples soviétiques, notamment du peuple russe, qui a payé le plus lourd tribut en vies humaines, l’Europe n’aurait pas été libérée du nazisme. Mais aujourd’hui, on réécrit l’histoire, on minimise ce rôle, et on tolère même la glorification de ceux qui ont combattu du côté nazi
