🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇦🇺| Exactly one week ago today, I gave my speech in the EU Parliament against the EU's illegitimate interference in the Romanian presidential elections. To be more precise, I gave the speech two days earlier, but I was prevented from publishing it.
I will briefly report on the background here and then ask you, dear readers, to let me know your opinion as to whether the whole thing was just a coincidence or deliberate sabotage. At the moment I am still undecided myself.
Normally, after I have delivered a speech in plenary, my social media team downloads the raw video from a special EU Parliament server and then processes it so that I can publish it later via my channels. There are several ways to do this, but strangely, none of them worked this time. Either the download refused with meaningless error messages or the raw video was cut off in the middle.
Things got even stranger when we tried to extract my speech from the live stream, which was several hours long. It worked at first glance, but when we checked it, we realized that shortly before my speech began - for some unknown reason - the original audio track had been changed and suddenly an interpreter could be heard translating something completely different from what I had actually said.
The fact that the interpreter translated in English while I myself already spoke in English, too, was completely dubious. This made no sense at all, especially as translations are always stored on separate audio tracks and never overwrite the original track. So while I was talking about the untenable conditions in Romania and the illegitimate interference of the EU, the interpreter was reporting on some completely different event in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Completely crazy!
Almost two days later, my team had managed to reconstruct my original speech in full from various video fragments using a few creative tricks. Only then I was able to publish it.
I've been a member of the EU Parliament for the AfD since 2019, but I've never experienced anything like this before. Well, last year, I did have my microphone switched off in the plenary chamber when I raised the issue of the corruption investigation into Ursula von der Leyen's dirty Pfizer deal, but that backfired for the Brussels negative elites because it made my video go even more viral.
I now wonder whether, in this case, an attempt at censorship took place right at the start. After all, a video that I can't even publish is certainly the most effective form of information suppression from the point of view of the Brussels technocrats.
What do you think, dear readers? Am I reacting too sensitively and the whole thing was just a technical error, as can happen from time to time? Or was it a poorly disguised act of sabotage by the EU entities?
✏️➡️ Please let me know your opinion. I'm looking forward to hearing what you think.
Kind regards,
Yours, Christine Anderson, MEP
