We have a commission that nobody has ever elected, so it lacks democratic credibility, legitimation.

And you can see that ever since that euro crisis happened, and then with the pandemic, it was a pathetic response to the pandemic.

You know, heads of states got together and decided to borrow together something like 800 billion.

We're playing out just strategically also the situation in Ukraine.

I mean, it is a right old mess, the European policy towards Ukraine.

They don't have a policy for peace in Ukraine and they don't have a policy for war in Ukraine.
