00:13
I'm a little bit surprised.
00:39
She was, for six years, the minister of defense.
00:43
And the last five years, there were no one word
00:47
about the question of security of Europe.
00:49
And it's not the first attack from Russia to Ukraine.
00:53
We remember 10 years ago.
00:55
And so not one word.
00:57
I think this is really a little bit crazy,
01:00
because we could see what happens around.
01:03
And the other thing is that with La Fonda line is--
01:07
I mean, the Green Deal is now--
01:08
it's not only Timmermans, it's also--
01:10
Ursula von der Leyen is the Green Deal.
01:12
And so if the effects of the Green Deal, I mean,
01:15
touch the question of economic for companies.
01:20
And so we are really astonished in Germany.
01:22
And I tell you also people from her party
01:27
that she is more green than--
01:29
how could I say--
01:30
black at the CDU.
01:31
It's a color of black.
01:33
So I think we have to talk.
01:36
And we have to clear how the future could be.
01:39
But if you look in the past, I think
01:43
it was not the biggest show from Ursula von der Leyen.
01:47
[MUSIC PLAYING]
01:50
We have to be really careful, because it's a tragedy.
01:57
You could see it even on the hard left wing,
02:01
that after a while, in the first years, everybody say,
02:04
oh, thanks, God.
02:05
Please don't do it.
02:06
Don't touch it.
02:07
And after a while, it becomes a little normal thing.
02:10
But it's not normal.
02:12
And to be the right wing, they will destroy Europe.
02:16
And Mrs. Weigel, the head of the AFD,
02:19
she said in an interview of the Financial Times
02:22
that she is looking forward that Germany will go out of the EU.
02:27
I mean, could you imagine?
02:29
So you have to explain to people,
02:31
if they vote for the hard right wing or the left wing,
02:35
they cut their own success in economic things,
02:38
in peace things.
02:39
So--
02:40
[MUSIC PLAYING]
02:43
You know, before the wall opened in Germany,
02:51
his country, Hungary, was really very, very
02:54
important for the unification.
02:56
Well, the first moment when the wall opens a little bit,
03:00
and in this area, this time, 35 years ago,
03:05
was a very, very important partner for us in Germany,
03:08
especially in Germany.
03:10
And I'm really disappointed to see what Viktor Orban said
03:13
and how he's making policy.
03:16
And for me, it's unacceptable that he
03:19
stops every very important, for example, support for Ukraine.
03:24
And it's very good that the European Union, the parliament,
03:28
is now looking why he got 10 billion euro for looking
03:33
for the restroom.
03:35
I mean, you know what I mean.
