German government officials returned to Vice President Vance in a Friday speech in Munich, where they denounced European leaders, and were opposed and mass migration was the biggest problem facing the continent. He accused him of warning him that he was one.
“And what I'm worried about is the threat from within,” Vance said in his first international speech at the Munich Security Conference. “The retreat of Europe from some of the most fundamental values, some of the values shared with the United States.”
Vance's remarks were not accepted by the critique of his free speech and the highest German official who accepted the country's far-right alternative fürdeutschland (AFD) party and thwarted the vice president.
“If I understand him correctly, he compares some of the conditions of Europe with those of the authoritarian regime,” German defense minister Boris Pistorius said Friday. “That's not acceptable. It's not Europe, nor is it the democracy I live in and currently campaigning for.”
“In our democracy, every opinion has a voice, and parties that are extremist like the AFD can be made, and campaigning just like any other party,” Pistorius added. I did. “This is democracy.”
In his speech, Vance said Russia and China are not the biggest threats facing content, and Ukraine was working to secure a peace deal that would end the war for nearly three years. He said he had mentioned it temporarily. The former senator also defended high-tech billionaire Elon Musk as he expressed growing interest in German politics ahead of the February 23 election.
Vance added that massive migration was the most pressing issue in Europe, referring to a recent incident in Munich when Afghan citizens later drove cars into the crowds and killed at least 28 people.
“All Europe, they vote for political leaders who promise to end uncontrolled migration. I happen to agree with many of these concerns. You need to agree with me. No, I think people care,” Vance said Friday.
German Prime Minister Olaf Scholz returned to Vance the following day to make comments about the AFD that would support the US vice president in throttling the transition. It was “It's not appropriate, especially among friends and allies. We firmly reject that.”
Vance met with AFD leader Alice Weidel in Germany on Friday. Musk, who wrote the OP-ED in support of the party, effectively attended the AFD rally last month.
“There will never be a fascism again, racism again, and wars that are offensive,” Scholz said in his speech on Saturday.
When dealing with Vance's criticism of European speech law, Scholz states, “Today's democracy in Germany and Europe is a historical perception and perception that democracy can be destroyed by radical anti-democrats. It is based on the
The Prime Minister added, “the reason for creating an institution that ensures that democracy can protect itself from its enemy and rules that do not limit or limit freedom, and that do not protect it.”
Trump defended the Vice President from the White House and agreed to the assessment that Vance had told European officials at the meeting.
“After hearing his speech, he spoke about freedom of speech. And I think it's true in Europe, it's losing. They're losing the wonderful right to freedom of speech. I see it, I mean, I thought he gave a very good speech, in fact, it's a very great speech,” Trump said Friday.
The commander said Europe needs to be “cautious” when it comes to immigration.
“And there's a big issue of immigration in Europe. Look at what happened with the crime. The president said. “In fact, I thought his speech was very well received. I made a very good comment. I've heard of it.”
