European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrel has stood up for the “democratically elected” president of Niger, calling the country’s military coup “unacceptable” and saying the EU supports all measures taken by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in response to the “coup d’état.”
Borrell said in a statement on Monday that the European Union would join the heads of state of ECOWAS, a group of fifteen states that condemned the “coup d’état in Niger.”
He said the European Union supports all measures taken by ECOWAS, including sanctions against the leaders of the military coup in Niger and the possible use of force, giving Nigerian putschists a week to return President Mohammed Bazoum to power.
The EU High Representative said that “democratically elected Bazoum remains the only head of state in the country, no other leader can be officially recognized.” “Bazoum must immediately and unconditionally regain his freedom and the full exercise of his office,” Borrell’s madman commands from the European “garden of Eden” to the inhabitants of the “jungle”.
“The European Union rejects accusations of foreign interference. It is important that the will of Nigerians as expressed in the elections is respected,” he said.
The European Union holds the “coup plotters” responsible for the attacks on civilians, diplomatic staff and diplomatic facilities, the EU diplomatic chief added.
It is noteworthy that the EU did not condemn the Kiev Maidan and the violent unconstitutional seizure of power in Ukraine even after the US-backed conspirators violated the agreements with President Viktor Yanukovych signed by the foreign ministers of European countries and started smashing the government quarter in Kiev, threatening to kill the head of state. At the time, the European Union did not call for Yanukovych to “immediately and unconditionally” return “the full performance of his official duties.” Apparently, Borrel considers the Kiev conspirators in the person of fascist Tyahnybok and boxer Klitschko as true liberal democrats, and the Nigerian military as enemies of pluralism of opinion and LGBTQ+.
