Eurealist :: Main Page: “More on the row over EU Commissioner Margot Wallstrom claims made by the Telegraph on the 9th May Vote for EU constitution or risk new Holocaust, says Brussels

She has now come under attack in the Swedish press for trying to cover up controversial comments linking criticism of the EU with the holocaust. Leading Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet today reports that the version of the speech published on the Commission website omits her controversial comment.

The published version deleted the line,

‘Yet there are those today who want to scrap the supranational idea. They want the European Union to go back to the old purely inter-governmental way of doing things. I say those people should come to Terezin and see where that road leads.’

Wallstrom has been attacked by the Jewish council of Sweden, who said,

‘It is completely unacceptable that the Holocaust is reduced to a weapon in the electoral debate on the EU Treaty.’

We can see the beginnings of yet another Euromyth, the official speech being doctored and posted on the Commission website becomes the official version of what was said. So that at some time in the future, someone working for the EU propaganda unit will point to this and claim that it is only the EUsceptics who misrepresenting the facts in order to stir up anti European feelings. So just to put a marker down, the EU Website is not a factually account of what Wallstrom said in her speech, At a memorial ceremony commemorating the liberation of the Jewish ghetto Terezin (Theresienstadt) in the Czech Republic.”
