Introduced as the founder of the Schiller Institute, a Germany-based thinktank, Helga Zepp-LaRouche was interviewed today on China’s CGTN “World Today” show. She addressed the outbreak of strikes in France—as well as in Belgium, Holland, Germany and Italy—as the lawful reflection of Western governments having given up on the general welfare of their population. Indeed, the geopolitical sanctions against Russia find Russia expanding economic and political relations with, in particular, China, India, and Asia; and the sanctions caused a blowback in Europe. But the reality is that the 2008 financial cancer was allowed to expand, and the stupidity of the sanctions served as the trigger to a combined energy and food crisis. The proper course would be for European countries to cooperate with Russia and China for a new economic system, and would get Europe out from underneath the US and NATO demands, which only make the conflict and the crisis worse.
The interview opened with the request for Zepp-LaRouche’s view from Germany of the expanded strikes in France that day. She simply stated: “In France, they have a better sense of sovereignty than in Germany… but it is only a question of time” before the level of intensity comes to Germany. Asked about the French government’s harsh orders, forcing key staff back to work, she stated that it simply radicalized the situation further, rather than addressing the causes. It fuels the anger of the population, who feel that the government is not taking care of the common good.
