Germany’s Scholz rebukes Vance, defends Europe’s stance on hate speech and far right • FRANCE 24

41 comments

1. Olaf Scholz tells the US off for commenting on the German election while he and the spanish and portoguese prime minister publish in "Le Monde", the biggest french news paper, a recommendation on which french party to vote for. Quite ironic…

2. Germany should stop the F35 Contract immediately and reinvest in Europe

3. Germany is under the iron thumb of global Irish power.

4. Watch the 60 minutes report how the German police arrests, fines, and punishes people who criticize the government online. Free speech is not longer free in Europe. Government has taken over the people’s voice. German citizens are losing rights thanks to the European Union.

5. Scholz is a leftist

6. So, modern German laws have become disturbingly close to old German laws.

7. That vapid little Scholziboy can GTH.

8. To the people who misinterpreted JD Vance, he never embraced the far right in his speech, he is saying that either everyone has free speech or no one at all. When you suppress an opinion you get clapped back eventually, regardless if it is right or wrong. I dont support extremism, but when they are pushed into a corner what do you expect to happen?

9. and then Germany began to arrest hundreds of its own citizens for posting mildly offensive memes 😂

10. GROW UP Europe. The truth hurts when it rings true!!! Listen to your people!

11. Zelensky has no power to speak. America wants to know where the missing billions are? Of Wurope wants to defeat Russia then by all
    Means… do it… but Americans want out. We don’t want this. The EU and Biden-Harris-Obama wanted this war. I understand why Putin fears NATO on his border. America doesn’t appreciate China in Panama. Common sense. Not in America tax dollars. Make peace. Keep peace. Stop the blood shed and loss of life.

12. So Europe has fallen

13. Didn't Europe hold a VP J.D. Vance book burning?

14. By censoring speech you create more hatred.

15. Yet they listen to the far left.

16. It’s a flat out lie about AP being banned from the White House. They are banned from the select Oval Office visits that the President occasionally affords. AP still has all other privileges.

17. The sting of a rebuke is in the truth- Ben Franklin

18. Very scary how they want to muzzle their populations. They can’t see the hypocrisy of their own stupidity

19. Lol France and Germany should just shut up and keep allowing unchecked immigration by Islamic terrorists and rapists.

20. The speech "departed from norms of decency and humanity!" he gasped, clutching his pearls tightly. No doubt he will spend a restless night, biting his pillow and sobbing in despair.

21. Vance was 100% accurate

22. Truth hurts, Europeans.

23. Germany is a fascist country.

24. Scholz is a tyrannical clown and cry baby.

25. Violent crime is at a 15 year high in germany…but they are worried about "mean words" on the internet. Germany can suck my free speech!!!

26. Germany calling public insults 'illegal' and 'criminal' is clearly proving VPOTUS is correct. Vance's speech was basically an "intervention".

27. It is truly frighteningly regressive what is happening in Europe… I pray that brave Europeans will stand up and demand their rights as free individuals

28. German citizens: The US had to have a revolution against their government as well, just saying.

29. this isnt the 1950s Europe is no longer a bastion of free speech and reason, JD Vance is right to mock your embrace of Stalin style "governing"

30. Meanwhile, Tommy Robinson is in prison again because he supports free speech and the rights of the people of his own country.

31. The truth hurts. Good job JD.

32. If you disagree with what he said you're against free speech and don't deserve any respect lmao

33. F off france.

34. Elon Musk constantly bans dissenters on twitter(X); Trump and Vance are leading a movement that has led to thousands of books (including classics) being banned from schools and libraries in addition to curriculum that teaches about historical and modern race and gender relations.

    When vulnerable communities ask that society not incite violence against them, that is not the same as banning a book for simply having facts or opinions you disagree with.

35. Vance is not in any position to lecture Europeans on ‘free speech’ when he is interfering with US citizens’ abilities to exercise their civil liberties.

36. I hope Germans are paying close attention to the economic and social chaos Vance and his cronies are whipping up in the US. At the end of the day, Musk and his billionaire buddies profit from divisive rhetoric. They are slashing essential government services while Musk is obtaining billions in government contracts. Follow the money and the truth will be revealed.

37. Lol comparing banning AP news from white house briefings to germany arresting people for mean tweets

38. Lady he didn't "accuse" them of censoring speech, it's a cold hard fact! They are just like 1984.

39. Germany has never known what democracy actually is, lets be honest. The sad thing is the rest of Europe is now in the same position. I hope you remember the decisions you made when this all turns into a socialist dystopian nightmare.

40. I think JD Vance should focus on improving America and staying out of other countries (who have been around much longer than the US) business. This is going to be a long 4 years.

41. The people who agree hate speech laws now, will disagree with it later when it comes back to haunt them.

    They aren't laws against "hate speech" they are laws against freedom of speech, what will effect an online activist now, will effect you and your family down the line.
