The Latvian expert assessed the situation with migration and the influence of Muslim voters, stating that EU leaders are forced to 'balance like circus performers.'
The head of the Middle East Center at the University of Latvia, Leon Taiwans, expressed a critical opinion about the situation in Europe in an interview. According to him, in several EU countries, politicians behave cautiously due to the fear of losing voter support.
"We see what the situation is like in France: politicians are afraid, they are hesitant to say anything against Iran because local Muslims will immediately rise up and say, 'Well, we won’t vote for you,'" the expert noted.
He emphasized that such pressure affects the behavior of European leaders. He cited Germany as an example: "The Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, walks very carefully on a knife's edge, balancing like a circus performer."
According to Taiwans, a similar situation is observed in other European countries. "And in Italy, there is huge immigration," he added, describing the overall situation on the continent.
