Clare Daly: EU Wants More War | The Monthly Daly | October 2023

Clare Daly’s passionate speeches in the EU Parliament in the month of October 2023. For Clare’s pleas on Gaza watch the special: Don’t let anyone fool you, the trans-atlantisist neocons in the EU would sacrifice Moldova and Georgia any day of the week if they could just damage Russia a little bit by sacrificing another couple of hundred thousand people. They have no shame and no scruples. The neutrality of these countries is essential in the new balance of power but the neocons don’t want that, they want more war and they’ll do anything to get it. Clare Daly: “I’m in favour, in principle, with Moldova or any other country, for that matter, joining the European Union if they want to, but I abstained on this proposal because it contains a lot that is objectionable: demands for deregulation of the economy; banging on the geopolitical drum against Russia when Moldova has been traditionally neutral; expediting the timetable for access talks prematurely. None of this is doing anybody in Moldova any favours. They are pawns, like citizens in the other countries, in a geopolitical game. We all know that of the three countries ̶ Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia ̶ it is Georgia which has met the conditions closer than anybody else. Yet it is Georgia against whom the barriers are being put up because the European Union wants to interfere in the internal affairs of that country, demanding that they must be more anti-Russian. They look to what has happened in Ukraine and they don’t want that. They deserve EU accession. They deserve to have the right to elect their own government and to have good relations with their neighbours.“
