QuotationsQuotes

“The example of Bolivia is particularly illustrative of the subjugation of the European institution to the world's leading power. While it had 'overthrown an elected government and had the revolting people bloodily repressed, it had not only been legitimized by the European Union, but it had also been proposed for the Sarkharov Prize in 2021, supposed to honor people who have dedicated their lives to human rights.”

Victoria Berni, “5 examples of the European Union at the service of capitalism”, Mr. Globalization, August 29, 2023.
