JD vance criticizes European partners for ignoring the citizens' opinions
in Munich, Germany, the US Vice President JD Vance has found clear words to the European partners. Unlike in the past, he did not criticize the national security strategies or the inadequate defense spending, but focused on the injustices that citizens experience in their countries, in particular the non -observing of their votes and suppressing deviating opinions.
discussion about freedom of expression
"whether it is the opposition leader, a modest Christian who prays in her own home or a journalist who tries to report messages," said Vance on Friday in a speech during the Munich Security Conference. He made it clear how important it is to hear and respect all voices in a society.
migration as a central topic
Vance described migration as the most important problem in Europe and pointed out a suspected attack by an Afghan migrant in Munich. These developments require a serious examination of the challenges in front of which the continents are facing.
criticism of European countries
He also criticized Sweden, Romania, the United Kingdom and the host country Germany. "If you act out of fear of your own voters, America cannot help you," Vance explained to the audience, who were mostly serious, with only sparse applause.
request for free expression
In the context of the discussion about freedom of information, Vance pointed out that disinformation and misinformation are "words from the Soviet time" for him. He also criticized attempts that, as he claimed, are undertaken by the bid administration in order to limit the expression of expression on social media. "There is no space for firewalls," he said, emphasizing that there are either free expression or not.
focus on the Ukraine crisis
Although the Ukraine crisis and possible negotiations with Russia have been the main topic of the conference in recent years, Vance only grazed this topic. This shows that the focus has gained focus on European internal affairs and their challenges.
The policy of the Trump administration
Before that, Vance had told the Wall Street Journal that the Trump administration leaves all options on the table, including the use of economical and military “lever”, to move Russia to negotiations.
