EUROPE IN BETWEEN (2)
10-03-2026Europe's passive disengagement from U.S President Trump's illegitimate killing of the Iranian Ayatolla and the widespread bombing of targets over Iran, is shortsighted and shameful. Shortsighted because massive American/Israeli bombing will not contribute to democracy in Iran. Shameful, because Trump's violent adventurism is an act of aggression and runs contrary to everything Europe stands for since 1950. From Robert Schuman we inherited reconciliation and peaceful cooperation. From Solidarnosc we learned that the most repressive Soviet totalitarian regime could be defeated by pro-active support to democratic activivists (the dissidents). Europe must revive pro-active support for democratic change in Iran.
