UAE summons EU Mission Head over Borrell’s Racist Comments

UAE summons EU Mission Head over Borrell’s Racist Comments

Alwaght- The United Arab Emirates (UAE) summoned on Monday the acting head of the mission at the EU delegation to the UAE, asking for explanation of racist comments made by EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, who described Europe "a garden" and most of the world a "jungle" that "could invade the garden."

The UAE foreign ministry said the remarks were "inappropriate and discriminatory" and "contribute to a worsening climate of intolerance and discrimination worldwide" UAE state news agency (WAM) reported.

In his remarks at the new European Diplomatic Academy in Bruges, Belgium, which have been widely circulated online since he made them last week, Borrell "The gardeners should take care of the garden, but they will not protect the garden by building walls. A nice small garden surrounded by high walls in order to prevent the jungle coming in is not going to be a solution. Because the jungle has a strong growth capacity, and the wall will never be high enough," said Borrell, a Spanish politician.

"The gardeners have to go to the jungle. Europeans have to be much more engaged with the rest of the world. Otherwise, the rest of the world will invade us," he said.
