🔥You are failing your core duty, @kajakallas by your post below You are not a neutral mediator. Your job is to stand firmly and effectively for the interests of all 27 EU member states — and therefore of Europe. 💥No pleasantries are due to powers that threaten European sovereignty and resources. A one-line aside that the Turkey–Libya MoU “infringes upon the sovereign rights of third states,” followed by business as usual, is not a defence of EU member states. That memorandum is an open illegal attempt to carve up Greek and Cypriot maritime space — waters that form part of EU territory under international law — using a failed state and its competing factions as cover. Treating it as a minor agenda item while you devote the bulk of your energy to Russia sends a clear message: some member states’ borders and rights are negotiable. The Mediterranean has a clear bully. Turkey is a modern pirate 🏴‍☠️ state: it does not recognise the Law of the Sea when it is inconvenient, continues illegal activities, and has now secured eastern Libya’s parliament’s ratification of the 2019 MoU. Your job is to represent all 27 member states, not only the eastern flank. Passivity and soft language on Europe’s south-eastern maritime borders do not de-escalate; they invite further faits accomplis. What signal does this give to anyone who disrespects EU territory and international law? That words of regret and a private “I raised it” are enough? EU High Representative means protecting every member state — not selective outrage. Greece, Cyprus and the rest of the Mediterranean are watching and don’t think highly of your “diplomacy”! Serious geopolitical powers give ultimatums to threatening bullies,not socializing with them,leaving members to look outside Europe for Security #think @vonderleyen @eucopresident @PrimeministerGR @Christodulides
