Geert Wilders For Breitbart: Europe May Once Again Need America to Liberate it From a Tyranny of Its Own Making

Guess what the main topic of debate at the European Parliament in Strasbourg this week is. It is what the Euro-elites consider the most concerning issue of the moment: “State violence in Minneapolis and the rule of law in the United States.”

This is a typical example of seeing the speck in your brother’s eye while ignoring the beam in your own. The European Union is criticizing the rule of law in America, while there are indications that Ursula von der Leyen’s European Commission has in the past two years actively tried to interfere in eight parliamentary and presidential elections on the European continent, including twice in my own country, The Netherlands.

It is our democratic duty to ensure that the EU authorities in Brussels, lacking legitimacy, are stopped censuring and regulating speech. The aim behind the EU’s Digital Services Act is to control the narratives in our societies. If the United States were able to stop the DSA from harassing American tech companies, it would do an enormous service to freedom of speech in Europe. Like it did 80 years ago, the U.S. would once again liberate us from tyranny.

Along with other European patriots, I am immensely grateful that America is defending our freedom of speech and guaranteeing our right to free elections without interference from despotic autocrats in Brussels.

“Washington helped create the EU, starting with the Marshall plan”

Not exactly. The base for the EU was the Common Market, which was based on a French-German trade agreement made long after the Marshall Plan ended. We had nothing to do with it.

Are you trying the say the Marshall Plan didn't take place?

What was the plan then? No borders and tariff reduction!

Apart from humanitarian and Communist containment efforts it sought to supercede the nation state interests by means of economic policy. And Washington had everything to do with it because it was their dream.
