G. Geadi Accuses EU of Hypocrisy While Cyprus Remains Under Occupation

MEP Geadis Geadi of ELAM (ECR) accused the European Union of hypocrisy for talking about security and freedom while Cyprus remains under occupation. During a debate on European security in the European Parliament, Mr. Geadi emphasized the importance of promoting cooperation between member states based on European principles and values, such as international law and territorial integrity. He expressed his satisfaction with the reference to Cyprus and Turkish aggression, but expressed concern about efforts to abolish unanimity in foreign policy matters. Mr. Geadi criticized the head of European diplomacy, Kajsa Kalas, for failing to mention Cyprus, characterizing the EU's stance as hypocrisy.
