“Carthago Delenda Est”
Cato the Censor (149 BC)
The protocol blunder towards Ursula Von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, rather than being a benign slip up is a deliberate act of humiliation which targets her moral stature as a woman, the dignity of her position and the aura of the EU institutions. By refusing her a chair alongside his seat and the one of the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, the Turkish dictator engages, once again, in one of his usual incivilities which aim at degrading his counterparts in Western democracies, emphasize his blatant sexism, and demean the moral and political standing of European institutions. The complacency demonstrated by Charles Michel and Ursula Von der Leyen is unacceptable by any standard, it highlights the neurasthenic apathy towards an insulting dictator who gains traction through political and ethical aggression, crude blackmailing tactics, and utter disregard of international civility and Human Rights meta-narrative which underpins the European conglomerate.
The moral cowardice displayed by Charles Michel and the undue politeness of Mrs. Von der Leyen are symptomatic of a mental state of denial, whereby European Commissioners and EU leaders choose to look the other way when confronted with the ugly realities of Islamist Turkey, its deliberate subversion politics and challenges to the normative foundations of the European Community.
The ostrich politics are becoming more and more irrelevant, since the violation of the moral consensus which undergirds the Euro-Mediterranean partnership far from being erratic, has become a systemic pattern of behavior that questions the future of the relationships with Islamist Turkey, weighs on peace in the Mediterranean rim, and undermines the resilience of an energetic civil opposition in Turkey.
When Erdogan retreated from the Istanbul convention against women violence last March, and relayed it with the deliberate humiliation of the Highest EU officer as a woman and head of the European Commission, one wonders to whichever extent this community is in control of its moral bearings, and has the necessary fortitude to enforce its moral compass on its member-States and partners. It’s about time to put an end to the egregious moral and political violations of this fascist Islamist, break the unending cycle of his reprehensible demeanor, and contain the cascading effects of his deliberate delinquency within Turkey, and all along the Euro-Mediterranean limes. The Sultan delusions should be destroyed and blown into smithereens.
