Many
consider the European Parliament as the last defence line of the
European people against the bankers and the corporate lobbyists who
drag the Union deeper into the neoliberal undemocratic path, day by
day, using the Greek experiment and the fascist regime of the ECB.
Well,
the outrageous decision of the European Parliament to honor the
Venezuelan right-wing opposition with the Sakharov human rights prize
leaves no doubt about the nature of the political branch of the EU
empire. Consequently, the ridiculous decision of the euro-clowns
leaves no doubt about the nature of the EU as a whole, which is to
serve the establishment against the European people. The
Brussels-Berlin axis is totally confirmed and its mission is to serve
the plutocracy.
As
reported by MintPressNews:
The
European Parliament honored Venezuela’s right-wing opposition with
its prestigious Sakharov human rights prize during a ceremony in
Strasbourg on Wednesday. National Assembly (AN) President Julio
Borges received the award on behalf of the opposition-controlled
legislature and the country’s so-called “political prisoners”,
to whom the prize was dedicated. “In the next few months, there
should be a presidential election and we ask Europe and the free
world to pay full attention,” he said in remarks during the
ceremony.
Borges
further accused the government of President Nicolas Maduro of having
“kidnapped democracy, and installed hunger and misery.”
The AN president’s visit to Strasbourg comes just days after the
government’s landslide victory in December 10 municipal elections,
which were boycotted by the largest opposition parties, including
Borges’ own First Justice party. The main opposition coalition, the
MUD, has been wracked by internecine strife since its surprise defeat
in October 15 regional elections that saw the ruling socialist party
take 18 of 23 governorships. Speaking at the ceremony, European
Parliament President Antonio Tajani said the nomination of the
Venezuelan opposition was in keeping with the EU’s commitment to
defending democracy. “By awarding this prize, we defend the
constitutions, the institutions, the separation of powers. And that’s
the basis of democracy,” he declared.
The
move has, however, sparked a backlash from parliamentarians on the
left-wing of the EU legislature. “The decision of the presidency
of the European Parliament to grant the prize to extremists of the
Venezuelan opposition – despite criticisms from various
Eurodeputies – is cynical and scandalous,” said German Left
Party (Die Linke) Vice President Heinke Haensel, referring to Borges’
and other opposition leaders’ support for four months of violent
anti-government protests that left over 125 dead earlier this year.
Spain’s United Left (IU), for its part, led a boycott of the
ceremony, accusing the EU Parliament of “putting itself on the
side of violence in Venezuela instead of facilitating dialogue”.
“The people receiving the prize today embody a violent
opposition that since 2002 has sought to overthrow governments
democratically elected by the Venezuelan people with coups,”
the party said in a statement.
Additionally,
IU slammed the parliament for passing over finalist Lolita Chavez –
a Guatemalan indigenous Ki’che leader whose organization has been
targeted by paramilitary groups – in order to give the award to
Venezuelan opposition figures like Lorent Saleh, who “was jailed
in relation to paramilitarism in Colombia”. “This year
there are people who have not received the prize and fight precisely
against what the people who are going to receive it represent,”
the leftist party concluded.
The
reaction by the Left shows that the political polarization inside the
EU grows rapidly, which is natural, as the mainstream political
parties (for now) - the Popular Right and the Social Democrats - have
been fully occupied by the corporate lobbyists.
So,
eventually, the European Parliament finally followed the corporate
media propaganda of the West concerning Venezuela, despite that the
democratically elected Leftist governments since the Hugo Chavez era,
have repeatedly marked big electoral wins against the US-backed
right-wing opposition.
The
supposedly democratic European parliament totally ignored the
atrocities made by the right-wing opposition followers and the
economic war that has been launched by the US big oil cartel against
Venezuela for years. The EU political establishment has been fully
aligned with the Brussels bureaufascists, puppets of the elites.
Recall that recently, the Western propaganda on Venezuela completely collapsed by an independent expert on International Democratic and Equitable Order at the United Nations (UN), who visited Venezuela in late November to assess its social and economic progress.

Despite
Brexit and the rise of the nationalists throughout Europe, the
political establishment refuses to listen to the sirens of
destruction. Together with the Brussels bureaufascists it is
determined to serve the plutocracy at all costs.
Well,
now you know who to blame for a possible, ugly dissolution of the
European Union in the close future ...
