"Madam President, René Magritte, the famous Belgian surrealist painter, used to paint pictures of pipes, and he would then say ‘this is not a pipe’. The EU has actually copied Magritte. Firstly, they said that the EU created peace in Europe, when in fact it was NATO. And secondly, they say they don’t want an EU army – in fact, what they want is a European Security and Defence Force, when everybody can see that what you want is an EU army. The European Rapid Operational Force (Eurofor) had 12 000 personnel: the size of an armed division.
EU money for extra drones and the military industrial complex will get tax deductions under proposals from this Chamber. And of course, as I see today, more and more MEPs want to have war with Russia – the new bogeyman. The idea that we have to have an army, so therefore we must have an enemy. The EU is attempting to create a new world order with a new EU army. This is what Magritte would have called surreal."@en1
