@vonderleyen @EU_Commission I told you last year to back off and you didn’t listen. You are a tyrant violating the NATO treaty and putting Europe in grave danger. You should resign like you made @ThierryBreton do

You weaponized European intelligence agencies to claim, without evidence, that your political enemies were funded by Russia. Now you are demanding mass censorship in the name of saving democracy. You are a totalitarian and should be ashamed of yourself. Step down.

Freedom of speech is the foundation of our strong and vibrant European democracy.

We are proud of it. We will protect it.

Because the @EU_Commission is the guardian of our values.
