MEP @CristianTerhes has put out a statement after refusing to attend @JustinTrudeau's EU speech today

In the statement, Terheș blasts Trudeau for having horses trample protestors during the Freedom Convoy crackdown

I've translated it and will tweet relevant parts below

THREAD
"I refused to validate by my presence the facade of the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who gave a speech before the Plenary of the European Parliament on 23.03.2022, it was the reason for which I was not in the room when he spoke."
"You can't come and teach democracy lessons to Putin from the European Parliament when you trample with horse hooves your own citizens who are demanding that their fundamental rights be respected."
"When you, a politician from the "west", implement in your home methods of repression and the trampling of the rights of your own citizens, who demand their rights be respected, as Putin does at home, you are no better than him."
"On the contrary, through the tyranny that you’re implementing you add deceit and hypocrisy, destroying liberty and “western” values."
"These imposter leaders of today’s west have brought the world into the chaos we find ourselves in today, precisely because they have strayed from the values that made the "west" a free and prosperous world."
"The departure of western leaders from these values (individual liberty, respect for rights and freedoms, etc.) not only made them lose their moral ascendancy, but allowed the rise of tyrants like Putin."
"Between the Russian imperialist tyranny, promoted by Putin, and the neo-Marxist tyranny pretending to be progressivism promoted by the likes of Trudeau, in which people are deprived of their rights and freedoms, becoming objects of the state, I do not choose any."
As some of you might recall Terheș was a vocal critic of Trudeau's in Brussels when the Canadian prime minister invoked the Emergencies Act to quash the protests in Ottawa.

This is glorious. God bless Croatians. Every trip to Europe PM @JustinTrudeau is being called out for quashing peaceful protestors in Canada. This time right to his face. That must have stung.
@JustinTrudeau This isn't the first time that Trudeau was called out for quashing peaceful protestors in Canada by EU politicians.

Most recently, Finnish politician @LauraHuhtasaari demanded the EU clarify where it stands on Trudeau's actions.

tnc.news/2022/03/09/eur…
@JustinTrudeau @LauraHuhtasaari Romanian MEP @CristianTerhes also likened Trudeau to a "tyrant" and a "dictator" during a speech in Brussels in February also in reaction to his use of the Emergencies Act.

Trudeau is terrified by the fact that populism is taking root in Canada and giving ordinary people a voice.

He ignores the fact that he and the Liberals have driven Canada into the gutter. Populism is only a reaction to our elites who have lost the plot.
It's funny that a guy who has spent the last 7 years race-baiting, dividing Canadians and evading parliamentary procedure to get what he wants is accusing a grassroots working-class movement of trying to exploit people. Trudeau is a case study on projection.
Liberals always try to portray themselves as the protectors of "democracy" when in reality they are the manipulators of democracy. If you haven't noticed, things have actually gotten less democratic in the last century due to the influence of powerful wealthy oligarchs.

If the right wants to survive and make gains, it needs to embrace a defensive siege strategy.

No matter how you square it, the fact remains that the left has achieved dominance in a number of cultural/political/academic arenas and is gaining even more territory daily.
The first step to surviving an ideological siege is mental endurance. You have to be willing to accept losses and to be in it for the laung haul. There is only one option in the mind of the besieged: outlasting the enemy.
The second step is almost as important as the first and its logistics. Applied to the current situation, that means supply lines of human and financial resources. Networking, organizing and fundraising are key to defeating the progressivist supremacy.
