The head of the liberal-democratic faction of the European Parliament proposed to give the Russian language official status in the EU

78
The chairman of the Liberal Democratic faction ALDE in the European Parliament, Guy Verhofstadt, proposed to give the Russian language official status in the European Union. This European politician said in an interview with a Belgian newspaper De Standaard. According to Verhofstadt, millions of Russian-speaking citizens live in EU countries, including Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.

Guy Verhofstadt:
For me, big Europe stretches from the Atlantic coast to the Volga. I am not only not against Russian and Russian. I love these people, this country. I made a proposal for the Russian language to be recognized as the official language of the EU, because in the Baltic countries alone there are millions of Russian-speaking people.



Guy Verhofstadt in the middle


On the proposal of the parliamentarian from Belgium, some Baltic members of the European Parliament reacted violently. Informational portal Delphi cites a statement by the Latvian Member of the European Parliament, Robert Zile, who, as it turned out, “angered” Verhofstadt’s words about the official status of the Russian language in the European Union.

Zile:
Guy Verhofstadt’s proposal to recognize Russian as the official language of the EU because there are a lot of Russian-speaking people in the Baltic States, I was very surprised. Because we in Estonia and Lithuania are faced with these problems that have arisen during stories and the occupation period. We know how to integrate and how to solve these problems. Guy Verhofstadt, please leave it to us. Better evaluate your achievements as the Belgian prime minister that you held for 10 years.


Latvian parliamentarian in his repertoire. And the repertoire fits into the expression "who's what, and the Latvian politician - about the occupation." Apparently, the main problem for Latvian and other Baltic politicians lies in the fact that it is irreversible occupied their brain, and it does not allow them to think constructively.

      Ah, and what a strong move would be against Russia. Humane Europe gives Russian the status of an official language, despite the cruelty and totalitarianism of Putin's Russia. laughing

      It is good that Europeans are so limited people and the Baltic politicians may be of some use, or they could eventually put such a powerful mine in slow motion, no worse than the one that the USSR collapsed ...
      At one time, it was enough to change the animal’s grin of capitalism to a good smiling mask, to stretch the carrot and all the bonds that seemed to connect a monolithic society began to break ...

      In general, if we ignore the deputy’s words about "love for Russia and the Russian-speaking," then in the long term such recognition of the Russian language will be of great benefit to the EU as a means of propaganda. You can conduct propaganda in Russian and vice versa, say that Russian is not forbidden here, but our thoughts are different, not Russian. On the contrary, denial hurts goals. They were also able to recode some of the Russians in Ukraine.

    Five years ago, MEP Robert Zile was asked how he, a Latvian nationalist, would react to the placement of immigrants from Asian and African countries for permanent residence in Latvia? Zile replied that he would gladly welcome, for example, the Chinese: after all, they are hardworking, law-abiding and, unlike the Russians, will willingly learn the Latvian language. He studied in the USSR, completed their studies in the USA. That's what they taught to speak correctly. About the Chinese they screwed up great. ... It seems he knows the Chinese from books and TV.

      But what, the EU does not obey the UN, where Russian is officially recognized as one of the world languages? An interesting statement by a German. I always knew that this EU is some kind of artificial peripheral formation of Americans, Germans and British. It is surprising that there are still French.

      "BISTRO" IS FAST IN RUSSIAN. The signs were written for the Russians in the French manner. And it stuck after the capture of Paris laughing .

    Slowly, the brains of central Europe are moving away, it remains to wait for zombies from the Baltic countries. I'm afraid I just have to wait a very long time.

    A strange statement. The first thing that comes to mind is to be afraid of Danians bringing gifts, or - you can’t win, strangled in your arms ....

    Roll up the sponge! Do not be geyrope to the Volga! Also found the Führer. Russia is not a geyropa. Neher pryazyvatsya. And your language will soon be mostly Arabic, and that’s what you recognize. Khozl liberistic.
