The EU’s leadership does not represent European interests in the outside world, but rather the interests of private powers against those of EU member states and their people, Kövér said.

The speaker said Europe was witnessing the preparations for its financial, human and natural resources to be “pumped out” to interests outside Europe.

The “rampant intellectual obsession” being induced on the continent “is the means of robbing Europe spiritually”, Kövér said.

If this plan succeeds, then the European middle class upholding European democracy could easily collapse, taking with it the European system of parliamentary democracy, he added.
