Iran Press/ Europe: European Union's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said, 'Europe is a garden and the rest of the world is a jungle.'
He also said that the jungle could invade the garden and that the gardeners must go to the jungle to protect the park. He made these racists remarks when he was addressing the opening ceremony of the European Diplomatic Academy in Bruges, Belgium.
Josep Borrell said, "Europe is a garden. We have built a garden. Aggregate works are the best combination of political freedom, economic prosperity, and social cohesion that humankind has been able to build. There are three things together and here bridges may be the representation of the beautiful things intellectual life and well-being. The rest of the world is not exactly a garden. Most of the rest of the world is a jungle, and the jungle could invade the garden. The gardeners should take care of it."
He further said, "But the gardeners will not protect the garden by building walls. A small garden surrounded by high walls to prevent the jungle from coming in is not a solution. Because the wilderness has a strong growth capacity, and the wall will never be high enough to protect the garden. The gardeners have to go to the jungle. The Europeans must be much more engaged with the rest of the world. The rest of the world will invade us in different ways of means.
In reaction to Josep Borrell's remarks, Maria Zakharova, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman, said that Europe built that "garden" through plundering. World's most prosperous system, created in Europe, was nurtured by "roots" in colonies.
Criticizing Germany's involvement in both World Wars under the guise of reestablishing justice, she said, "Their philosophy of segregation and superiority became the underlying idea of fascism and Nazism. Both world wars in the 20th century were triggered by Germany's ambition to 'restore justice' and re-divide Europe's colonies that country had failed to grab for itself."
She added, "Achieving that goal was to ensure Germany the same kind of prosperous and carefree life of the exploiters living in Borrell's homeland, Spain, as well as in France, Britain, and Portugal."
