De Wever Sarcastically Responds to Politico
The Axel Springer-owned publication, which employs around 350 staff in its European bureau, had taken aim at the “bespectacled 54-year-old” and “eccentric figure at the EU summit table, with his penchant for round-collared shirts, Roman history and witty one-liners.” The article, written by four reporters in early December, coincided with De Wever’s growing resistance to the asset-seizure plan, which had become a major obstacle for Merz and von der Leyen.
After the German-backed initiative collapsed at what was seen as a disastrous EU Summit for Merz and von der Leyen, De Wever directly confronted one of the article’s authors. “Politico, you published some very nice articles with some very nice titles, claiming that I was Russia’s most valuable asset? I like that one a lot. I will remember that one. But go ahead with your question anyway, because as I said, a real politician lets go of his emotions, even if these emotions are pure anger, vengeance, and maybe even violence.”
Concluding his tirade with heavy sarcasm, De Wever added: “But now I have to go to my dacha in St. Petersburg, where my neighbor is Gerard Depardieu, and across the street there is Bashar al-Assad. And I think I can become mayor of that little village. Maybe that could be your title.”
