In the grand halls of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, two figures emerged as the protagonists of the July 18 session. One, Ursula von der Leyen, was re-elected as the president of the European Commission, while the other, Confederation MEP Ewa Zajączkowska-Hernik delivered a speech that would earn her the title of the queen of Europe’s right.
Von der Leyen’s re-election was somewhat of a surprise — not the fact that she won — but the margin of her victory. She received more votes than she did five years prior, slipping through with a mere nine votes then, but now securing a majority that was 40 votes over the required threshold. Her inaugural speech, however, was as dull as it was disingenuous, and it hardly warrants further attention. The German leader confirmed her intent to steer the EU towards what many perceive as a disaster, promising more of the policies that have plunged Europe into crises, including the extremities of the Green Deal.
In stark contrast, the speech delivered by Ewa Zajączkowska-Hernik, a Polish MEP from the Confederation, was significantly shorter but far more intriguing. It garnered more applause and interest than von der Leyen’s speech. European media trumpeted her words, and much of it was in admiration.
The Polish MEP was hailed as the queen of Europe’s right wing, and her speech echoed the fervor, passion, and honesty of Italy’s Giorgia Meloni before she became just another slippery, indistinct European leader.
“Madam Ursula, it’s time to say what the majority of Europeans think of you — boldly and directly,” Zajączkowska-Hernik addressed the German leader. This alone deserves recognition.
It’s essential to address the Eurocrats directly, as they are specific individuals with faces and names. Lawmakers from Poland’s Law and Justice (PiS), have sat in the European Parliament for years without grasping this. They still seem intimidated by the majesty of Europe’s rulers, criticizing in abstract terms, invoking democracy, the rule of law, justice, and principles instead of pointing fingers at those responsible for steering Europe towards disaster by name and rank, saying, for example, to a Spaniard like Aguilar, that they won’t listen to any lectures from a man who has abused his wife and family.
“You are the face of the Green Deal, which is turning Europe into an economic museum. You are the face of all the Union’s climate madness. You are the face of the migration pact. How can you not be ashamed to promote a pact that leads to millions of women and children feeling threatened on the streets of their own cities?” Zajączkowska-Hernik declared. Her words were met with shouts and applause.
“You are responsible for every rape, every assault, every tragedy caused by illegal immigrants because you invite these people and for what you do, you should be in jail,” she stated. The shouts and applause grew louder.
“Your presence in the position of commission president is a further decline for the Union,” the Polish MEP asserted. And finally: “Do you know what we think of your Green Deal and pact?” The MEP proceeded to demonstrate what she and others on the right think by tearing up papers symbolizing these two insane EU projects.
Zajączkowska-Hernik’s speech was met with more applause abroad than in Poland. There were few critical voices outside the country, but at home, we faced a great wave of outrage. Even politicians from the United Right seemed disgusted by the speech, their words polite: “Perhaps the criticism is justified, but we don’t endorse the form.”
After Zajączkowska-Hernik’s speech, the deputy agriculture minister from the co-ruling PSL party, Adam Nowak, suggested that the entire Confederation should be sent to a psychiatric hospital and an MEP from the Civic Coalition, Marta Wcisło, said this about Zajączkowska on TV news program: “A cunning trickster riding the extreme wave of nationalism, really. I was ashamed today for this lady; colleagues from different countries sat next to me, I was really ashamed. This lady brought shame to our country today.”
Oh dear, what will Helmut and fat Berta think? How could Zajączkowska speak to the bright lady, the queen of the Union, without a humble bow and the stiff obedience from the likes of Tusk?
I believe there are not enough harsh words to describe the level of depravity, corruption, deceit, cynicism, contempt for people, and ideological madness that the rotten Eurocracy, personified by Ursula von der Leyen, embodies. The Polish politicians who serve this caste and race would like me to be ashamed of Zajączkowska-Hernik’s speech because such talk and behavior are not appropriate in polite society. “What shame, what will they think of us in Brussels? It was unpleasant, inelegant, so un-European.”
That was precisely the point – it was meant to be that way. Bravo, Mrs. Zajączkowska-Hernik. That’s how you deal with them. Tit for tat, and let that disgusting smile disappear from their deceitful faces.
