Deputy Chairman of the European Parliament (EP) and Deputy Head of the Free Democratic Party of Germany (FDG) Nicola Ber called for a total boycott of the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing. This is reported by TASS with reference to the Funke media group.
“The European Union should not only remain in the shadow of the United States, but also stand on its hind legs in respect of human rights and speak out for an all-out boycott of the Winter Games,” Behr said. She added that, in her opinion, the Olympic Games in China were the wrong venue in the wrong place.
“Neither the US nor the European Union can be interested in silently watching Beijing at the Winter Games as a gigantic propaganda staged, while the Chinese apparatus openly behind the scenes seriously violates human rights,” said the representative of the European Parliament. She added that the diplomatic boycott is taking place late, and this is the least that can be expected from the West.
The refusal of the United States to send officials to the Games became known on December 6. On December 8, Australia joined the diplomatic boycott of the Olympics in China. The Beijing Olympics will be held from 4 to 20 February 2022.
