Greek MEP Delivers Scathing Rebuke of EU’s Socialist Failures in Parliament (Video)

Greek MEP Afroditi Latinopoulou gave a powerful speech in the European Parliament this week, calling out the EU’s failed socialist policies and the double standards of the left-wing governments that have been running Europe for decades.
The Real Threat to Europe? Socialist Policies
Latinopoulou from the “Voice of Reason” party didn’t hold back, flipping the script on the establishment’s claim that conservatives are the real threat to Europe’s stability.
“Did the right destroy industry? Did the right put Greta Thunberg on a pedestal? Did the right push green energy at the expense of industry?” she asked. “Or was it the socialist governments that have governed the European Union for the past 50 years?”
She pointed out that major nations like France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and Greece have been economically gutted by leftist policies. Sky-high taxes, endless regulations, and reckless green energy schemes have crippled competitiveness and pushed industries out of Europe.
Courageous Stand Against EU Hypocrisy
Latinopoulou spoke bluntly, calling out the arrogance of European leftists who now attempt to shift blame onto conservatives.
“You, the destroyers of Europe, have the audacity to point the finger at us and claim that we conservatives are a threat to Europe?” she said.
The Thatcher Quote That Left Parliament Silent
At a striking moment in her speech, she quoted Margaret Thatcher: “The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” The brutal truth hung in the air.
Then, she laid out her demands:
- Cut taxes
- Increase competitiveness
- Bring back plastic straws
- Stop attacking brown coal
- Invest in industry
- Most importantly, admit that socialist policies have failed
A Rallying Cry for Europe’s Future
Latinopoulou’s speech has gone viral, striking a chord with Europeans tired of bureaucratic overreach and economic destruction. Her defiance signals a growing conservative pushback against the EU’s failing socialist agenda.
The European Parliament may not like what she said, but the message was clear: the left has run Europe into the ground, and it’s time for a course correction.
