EU Parliament’s irrational Resolutions consign EU to further irrelevance
By Romegas
Recently, Roberta Metsola warned Euro MEPs that the EU parliament was not the Eurovision. If only the EU parliament was the Eurovision! – at least the artistic mediocrity and vacuous pretensions on show in the Eurovision are of limited consequence – beyond exposing the nadir that so-called European values have descended to for all the world to witness – it can all be at least justified that the contest is above all simply a spectacle and the the artists who debase themselves for five minutes of dubious fame will never be allowed anywhere near to seats of power, even though here in Malta, we have flirted closely with the “Desire” to defy the trend.
Yet – seeing the same level of frivolity and demented narcissistic fervour run amok the members of what should be an august institution populated by wise and cool heads that understand the difference between politics and voyeurism should really have us worried.
The decisions that this current crop of grossly overpaid muppets take will effect our future for decades to come.
In this interview, one of the few adults in the EU parliament – Michael von der Schulenburg, a man of the Left, talks with Fritz Edlinger about how Europe has isolated itself and drove its own foreign policy into a corner from which it now has no place to escape and how the EU parliament is increasingly animated by irrational and hubristic thinking that will return to haunt us all.
Incidentally, we have six MEPs, two of whom are non-starters! They have no credentials whatsoever, and they believe that they can export their mediocrity and parochial mentality to the European Parliament. Miskina Malta!!! Then we have another MEP on her on Steam (Prosit!), the President of the European Parliament. This is an outstanding achievement, and we should feel proud to have a Maltese occupy such a highly esteemed position. Still, I was extremely disappointed when she was almost absent from the local scene during the last electoral campaign to avoid answering pertinent questions by journalists related to abortion, Ukraine, Palestine, corruption within the EPP, etc. While I strongly believe in the European project, there are still instances when the EU shows its strength with the weak and is weak with the mighty!!!
