🇬🇧 Jean-Luc Mélenchon, President of the left/progressive political platform, MP and presidential candidate, gives a speech at the United Nations with a totally different opinion to the other politicians in Europe that seems to 'provoke' the other attendees.
"As frustrating as it is, the only rational way forward is peace. It has a clear name: de-escalation.
"I regret that the EU has decided to, and I quote, 'provide the necessary weaponry for a war', in the words of External Relations Commissioner Josep Borrell.
This decision will make us co-belligerents. Does not running these weapons from Poland, NATO land, put us at the mercy of provocations by the warring parties?
Wouldn't cutting off the SWIFT financial circuit lead to global escalation by pushing the Chinese and Russians to use their own circuit exclusively?"
"It would be better to accept to deal frankly and directly with the security of every nation in Europe."
The solution also exists. It is to proclaim Ukraine's neutrality".
