Recommendation on the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly (debate)
Mr President, the European Union cannot even agree on a negotiator with Russia, but it has the ambition to sit as a permanent member of the Security Council. In fact, France already represents European interests and the EU does not need to be represented twice. It is the Indian subcontinent, Africa and Latin America that should obtain a permanent seat. These are the regions with the future. While Europe is weakening due to its own political and diplomatic mistakes, such as questioning Russia’s presence in the Security Council. In doing so, it applies a double standard: She accuses some of all evils, while closing her eyes to the misdeeds of her close allies. In reality, the EU conducts a foreign policy that does not deserve its name because it lacks honesty, responsibility, vision and courage. With regard to the role of women in peace negotiations, I assure you, High Representative, that your presence will aggravate conflicts rather than resolve them.
