How Western Europe is Copying Communist China’s Policies: MEP Cristian Terhes

“How is it possible that the churches, or many churches, decided to close their doors exactly during those times when they were supposed to have their doors open?”Cristian Terhes is a Romanian-Greek Catholic priest and a Member of the European Parliament, representing Romania as a member of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group. Growing up under communism made him vigilant against creeping totalitarianism.“You will have unelected officials, bureaucrats, often unknown bureaucrats, deciding on behalf of your state. And if they decide that something is wrong for the people, they will not be accountable because you don’t even know who those people are,” says MEP Terhes.In this episode, he shares a warning about the consolidation of power he sees in international bodies like the European Union and the World Health Organization.“We are witnessing the ‘Chinafication’ of Europe. And I gave the example of the digital COVID certificate, but it did not stop there,” says MEP Terhes.We discuss the cultural and political transformation of Europe since the start of the COVID pandemic, from radical gender policy to the erosion of national constitutions.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
