Jean Asselborn warns: AfD and Europe in crisis - A call for unity!

Jean Asselborn, Luxembourg's former foreign minister, is causing a stir with his powerful words! During an interview at the Heilbronn Park Hotel, he sharply criticized the growing support for the right-wing extremist AfD. "It hurts that 30 percent of people in the East vote for this party. That's unbearable!" said Asselborn. However, the AfD also seems to be firmly rooted in Heilbronn, a city that is actually known for its boom and the AI ​​park. In the last European elections, the AfD became the second strongest force with 18 percent.

Asselborn sees the reasons for this worrying trend in the deep insecurity among the population. “Brexit and the lies that led to it have undermined trust in the truth,” he said. People have lost touch with reality, which is dangerous for democracy. He emphasized the need to reflect on European values ​​and show political solidarity. "The normality of the last few years has taught us how important Europe is. We cannot solve the world's big problems alone!" warned the 75-year-old.

A call for diplomacy

When discussing the Ukraine war, Asselborn expressed concern about developments and Germany's role. He criticized the federal government's hesitant attitude towards arms deliveries and warned of a possible forced peace that could be imposed on Ukraine. “A ceasefire would be a lot,” he added. He also spoke out against the current asylum procedures in Italy and described them as a disgrace for Europe. “We must guarantee fair trials!” he urged.

Jean Asselborn, who served as Foreign Minister for over 19 years, continues to see himself as a voice of reason in turbulent times. His warnings and analyzes are important not only for Luxembourg but for all of Europe. “We must open the doors to those seeking help, even if it is challenging,” he concluded, appealing for solidarity within the European Union.
