Ooooohhh that’s where it went! The last time we saw Carola Rackete, famous German activist 1) fanatic; 2) communist; 3) the second characteristic reinforces the first of which was in 2020, when the police arrested her in the Dannenrod forest while she, dressed in a penguin costume, was protesting against the felling of 27 hectares of forest for the completion of a ‘highway. Let’s say that her image, after the great visibility obtained for having rammed a patrol boat in Lampedusa, had become slightly blurred.
Now, however, despite the collapse of the German far left of “Die Linke” that nominated her, she has been elected to the European Parliament. Which suggests excessive presumption on her part and a total lack of criticism on the part of those who voted for her. Result: another useless seat in Brussels. Where, however, yesterday, Captain Rackete, the only MEP dressed worse than Ilaria Salis, as her first official act met the leader of the Nasa, an indigenous Amerindian population from the Andean region of Cauca. Political objective: to denounce the violence that has long shaken Colombia. Notoriously one of the key countries for the future of the European Union.
Which also shows how the left was
more pacifist and internationalist when he wasn’t trying in vain to be so.
And as for Carola, let’s say that the Europeanist vision does not seem to be the first of her qualities. Even if, of course, one should be found.
