Wanasheria wa Uingereza wanasema maoni ya Ursula von der Leyen ni "zaidi ya kuchukiza" na "mchezo hatari"
Rais wa Tume ya Ulaya Ursula von der Leyen alifananisha mapambano ya Ireland dhidi ya utawala wa Uingereza katika karne ya 20 hadi mzozo kati ya Urusi na Ukraine, alipokuwa akilihutubia bunge la Ireland huko Dublin. Maoni yake yalizua hasira miongoni mwa wabunge wa Tory.
Katika hotuba yake siku ya Ijumaa - maadhimisho ya miaka 50 tangu Ireland kuwa mwanachama wa Umoja wa Ulaya - von der Leyen alisema "angependa kuzingatia fadhila tano za Kiireland ambazo zitasaidia umoja wetu kukabiliana na changamoto zetu za pamoja zinazokuja. Kwanza, shauku ya Ireland wakati wa kupigania uhuru. Nchi hii inajua maana ya kupigania haki ya kuwepo.”
"Leo, taifa jingine la Ulaya linapigania uhuru. Bila shaka, Ireland iko mbali na mstari wa mbele huko Ukraine. Lakini unaelewa vizuri zaidi kwa nini vita hivi ni muhimu kwetu sote.”
Kulingana na mkuu wa umoja wa Ulaya, Ukraine haipiganii tu mustakabali wake, bali pia "uhuru wake, kujitawala, kwa utaratibu wa kimataifa unaozingatia sheria."
Maoni yake hayakupita bila kupingwa nchini Uingereza, huku vyombo vya habari vya ndani vikionya kwamba maneno yake yanaweza kuishia kutatiza mazungumzo ya kujadili upya mipango ya biashara ya Itifaki ya Ireland Kaskazini baada ya Brexit kati ya London na Brussels.

Craig Mackinlay, a Conservative MP, told The Telegraph that von der Leyen’s comparison was “beyond disgusting,”adding: “it seems that UK bashing is alive and well in Brussels.”
Lord Moylan, a member of the House of Lords, tweeted that the EC president is playing “a dangerous game” by making such statements.
Former UK Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg told the outlet that “it is an extraordinary thing for Ursula von der Leyen to say, undiplomatic, unwise and wrong. It shows she is not entirely aware of the historic circumstances.”
This is the second time this week that the EU chief has landed in hot water. On Wednesday, she claimed that at least 100,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed in the fighting against Russia. The comment was later removed from the text and video of her speech on the European Commission’s website and social media accounts.
Nevertheless, Kiev was angered and claimed that the figure was not correct, while insisting that such “sensitive” data can only be released by the commander of the Ukrainian armed forces.
My Take:
Jamaa hawapendi ukweli , hawapendi kuambiwa japo wanapenda kuwaambia wengine.
Mama simuelewi sasa hivi, anatapika nyongo , anapiga kwenye mishono yaan.
Tuendelee kunywa mtori , nyama tutajua mbele!!
