Re: The Truth Brussels Cannot Bear To Hear!

Yet they are also castigated if they interfere too much in the domestic matters of Member States. Should they interfere or should they stay out of it?

There is a big difference between offering mediation and condemning a behaviour and imposing silly rules on people...

Surely it's still seen as meddling? Seems to me they can't win. The fact is that the EU rarely gets directly involved in such matters. I don't see it's their place. Our politicians didn't condemn the violence and we have a massive population of Brits living in the country so you'd think we have an interest.

We should have condemned it but it's not our place to police the world the Eu have set themselves up as our bosses and government, so it is their place to do it. Instead they make mealy mouthed pronouncements that support the aggressors ! So much for keeping the peace !

I don't see how it's part of the EU's role. Can someone explain to me what's in the EU agreement that makes it so. Half the arguments against the EU is that it interferes so I'd think this lack of meddling would be welcome.

The EU's role is to keep as many countries under its control as it possibly can.

When the UK proposed its referendum on membership, the EU was very happy to welcome an independent Scotland, should they have voted for that, although they made a song and dance about how Scotland would have to re-apply for membership with no guarantee of acceptance. Of course, the EU would prefer to have rich countries for obvious reasons!

When Catalonia attempted to gain its independence recently, the EU failed to condemn Spain's high-handed response. The EU wants to keep as many parts of Europe under its rule.

It goes without saying, of course, that the EU would really like to keep the UK under the jackboot, as we are a very attractive cash cow.

The EU's boast about keeping the peace in Europe is hogwash.
Nazi Germany could equally claim to have kept the peace in Europe once it had conquered all of it!

In fact, NATO has kept the peace in Europe since the Second World War.

Really??? Not doing a very good job then is it???

Like f'r instance Bosnia/Croatia/Serbia conflict, then there was Kosovo. More recently there was Ukraine - didn't intervene then either.
