When EU Commissioner for Technological Sovereignty Henna Virkunen (National Coalition Party) and Interior Minister Mari Rantanen (Perussuomalaiset, PS*) meet to boost confidence in Nato’s ability to protect its subsea cables, but the total opposite. Their political record and their extremist stance on asylum seekers reveals why Europe is toothless and lost in the face of US President Donald Trump. Both Virkkunen and Rantanen have little to no respect for refugees crossing the Mediterranean but are more concerned about underwater cables. Some may ask how politicians like Virkkunen and Rantanen show how toothless and lost is Europe. If we continue down this path, Europe is doomed to fail and its cherished values won’t mean a thing.
