MeRA25: Kaja Kallas is dangerous for Europe

Resolution by the Central Committee of MeRA25 in Greece condemns the handing over of EU foreign policy to the dangerous Kaja Kallas and expresses outrage at the prospect of a second term for warmonger Ursula von der Leyen

The European Council has nominated Estonian prime minister Kaja Kallas for the post of High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy – in essence, for the post of EU “foreign minister”. MeRA25 considers that, through this proposal, the European Council poses an unprecedented threat to World Peace and the lives of European citizens.

In a recent interview, Ms Kallas described a Russian defeat, that would lead to the dismemberment of Russia into mini nation-states, as “not a bad outcome”. It takes a considerable dose of insanity for the prime minister of an EU member-state to signal to the leadership of a neighbouring country possessing six thousand nuclear warheads – Russia – that the goal of the EU and NATO should be its dismemberment.

But what does the appointment of this lady to the position of de facto foreign minister of the EU mean? With this choice, the European Council has signalled that the EU is now more pro-NATO than Washington itself, and is determined to intensify the Ukraine-Russia war, bringing it on the brink of nuclear conflict.

Combined with the proposed second term of Ursula von der Leyen as Commission President (a failed politician who dared, without having the slightest legitimacy, to stand in front of the Israeli army’s tanks and cheer them, just before they invaded Gaza and murdered tens of thousands of civilians), the EU demonstrates the culmination of its transformation from a peace project (as it used to advertise itself) into a dangerous War Union.

MeRA25, along with DiEM25 and the Progressive International, call on every political force that is against war to unite in overturning the war plans of the EU institutions, starting with the rejection of the Kallas – Von der Leyen candidacies.
