Václav Klaus, former President of the Czech Republic talks with Echo TV about the Central European Visegrad Group and the future of Europe.

Klaus fears democracy “is gone” in Europe and he lashes out at the European Union and the gap between elitist governments and their citizens.

Around 6 minutes into the interview Klaus is asked: Do you think that there is a chance to talk frankly about the very serious issues that determine the future of Europe, which were also the subject of the conference?

The former President answers:

“Mass migration co-organized by the European political elite based on multiculturalism, is, in my opinion, the main threat to Europe, to European societies, and to European culture” and says after another question:

“The main problem is that the opinions of men of the street are quite different from the opinions of the political elite. There is a big gap between the two, and the lack of democracy in Europe and the European Union is striking.

“I know that very often people talk about a democratic deficit in Europe. I don’t agree. In my opinion, it is not a democratic deficit, but the lack of democracy. The deficit means that there is some democracy, but there are just some problems with it.

“I’m afraid that we live in a world where there is no democracy. The European Parliament is a good example of that, as it is not a parliament at all. There is no real dialogue between the government and the opposition. There is no freedom of speech. So, the European Parliament is just a joke. So, I do not agree that it is a democratic deficit.”

“I know that very often people talk about a democratic deficit in Europe."

Whew! I guess there will be no need to be LIKE Europe anymore.

The EU exists to end any semblance of democracy, of course there's none in the European Parliament. Dang, Angie Baby just said as much in a recent speech.

EU-UNaccountable bureaucrats are detached from citizens.

The former Soviet slave countries know that of which they speak.

The commies took over Russia and Eastern Europe through revolution and military strength.

All it took for the milquetoast Europeans was simply read and believe their Guardian-clone journalists, and vote accordingly. As a result, they are forced to daily take the Dorkbama bend over position.

Coming soon to us, should we not rise up and smite our own collection of idiots.

There is no democracy in socialist (communism).

Communist East Germany (Angela Merkel) rules Europe.

Everyone is afraid to say this out loud. Europe is ruled by the Stasi.

Duh, what does he think the original intent *was*?!? "We have to implement this policy, even though the vast majority in this former country is against it. Now stop complaining and fall in line." Thanks DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis.
