2022 plus:
In recent years, we have already seen that the representatives of the EP have more and more radical expressions, which slowly lead to the fact that they want to please themselves in the role of the world's gendarmerie. They want to regulate not only the EU countries, but also Russia, but that is not enough anymore. Now, as you can read, the United States and even the MEPs have called on President Joe Biden and his government to continue supporting the right to abortion. In other words, it can be clearly perceived that the rainbow liberals, by voicing democracy, the rule of law, human dignity and other falsehoods, are busy creating a brain-dead world shaped in their own image.
