00:00Well, let's cross live now to Berlin State Parliament member Gunnar Lindemann from the AFD party.
00:07Good to have you on, Gunnar.
00:09The first thing I want to ask you, I mean, obviously, Moldova was given candidate status to the EU just three years ago, 2022.
00:19So it clearly aspires to be a member of the European community.
00:23Brussels thinks that it has it in it to become a member state.
00:28Are these the kind of values that exist in Brussels?
00:33Yes, the European Union want for Moldova to become a member of the European Union.
00:40It's the same as what they try to do with Ukraine to enlarge the European Union to the Russian borders.
00:49And if the European Union, they give a lot of money to Moldova.
00:56Also, the German government gave a lot of money to a Moldovian government.
01:02And they give the money, of course, for political reasons.
01:05They want a pro-European government.
01:08But as we know, the population, the people in Moldova are split up, maybe about half-half.
01:15Half is pro-European, half is pro-Russian, maybe about this.
01:19I don't know the exact percentage, but like this.
01:22And now, the European Parliament tries with every possibility to give to the people of Moldova and to the Moldovan government and with the Moldovan authority to bring it inside the European Union, to bring it as a member of the European Union.
01:41And there is also this attack.
01:44It's the attack of the religious freedom.
01:49It is not the only decision, in my opinion, of the Moldovan government.
01:53It's the decision which was taken in Brussels to attack the Orthodox Church, because the authorities in Brussels are afraid of the Church.
02:05They are afraid of the praying in the cathedrals, because they know, don't know, if the Church is maybe not so pro-European as they want.
02:18And that is the mistake.
02:21And therefore, they pay money.
02:22But we cannot accept that authorities stopped this bishop to go to Jerusalem on these holy days.
02:30Yes, it's an attack against religious freedom, and we will not accept it.
02:36There's obviously the Russian aspect to it that you talked about there and our correspondent.
02:42The fact that the Moldovan Orthodox Church, although it's self-governing, is accused of being a tool of the Kremlin, much as we see with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church as well.
02:53But more generally, Gunnar, religion and the Church as an institution, ideas of tradition and family, is that becoming a bit problematic for Europe?
03:08Yes, of course, it's problematic for the European Union.
03:11Take a look into the Western European countries.
03:14Do a look for Germany.
03:17They are praying LGBT.
03:20They are praying about homosexuals and things like this.
03:23In Western Europe, in Germany, in France, in Italy, in all of these countries.
03:28But the Orthodox Church in Moldova, they are praying the traditional family.
03:34They have the idea of the traditional family.
03:37It's the same idea which we have as the AfD party, the idea of traditional family.
03:43And this is against the politic of Brussels.
03:47What Brussels wants?
03:47Because Brussels wants a mixed, LGBT-friendly area.
03:53And the Orthodox Church has a different view.
03:57And that's why they're fighting against this church.
04:00And they think by stopping a bishop traveling to Jerusalem, they could win.
04:05But in my eyes, the Brussels administration will not win.
04:09And, of course, as you told me, of course, it's also an attack against Russian Orthodox Church.
04:16Because, you know, European Union is against Russian federations.
04:20They're discussing about the new delivering of new weapons to Ukraine and things like this.
04:25So, of course, it's also an anti-Russian attack, not only an anti-Moldavian attack for the Moldavian Orthodox Church.
04:37You know, I think what many people might find surprising was that the authorities did it in the first place.
04:45They stopped an archbishop from traveling somewhere for no real reasons.
04:52Are you surprised by how brazen, how they maybe felt that they would never be held to account for the actions that they'd taken?
05:05I'm not surprised that they do it.
05:07They do it since a long time.
05:09They do things like this.
05:10For example, in Germany, before a European election, the Europol police made a crime case against a member of a European parliament of AFD.
05:24And after the election, they say, oh, sorry, it was a mistake.
05:27Therefore, he has done nothing wrong.
05:30And it's the same way.
05:32They stop him and say, oh, we have a problem with your passport.
05:35And after the flight leave from Chisinau, they say, oh, it was a mistake, a passport is OK, because they know the flight is gone.
05:43And the next flight, I don't know, maybe the next day or two, next week, I think Chisinau is a very small airport.
05:50They don't have everyday flight to Jerusalem.
05:53It was not a mistake by the police.
05:57It was, it was, the police was advised to do like this.
06:02It was not a mistake.
06:03Well, I think for a lot of worshippers, probably this was a very worrying moment to see.
06:12That was Berlin State Parliament member Gunnar Lindemann from the AFD party.
06:16Gunnar, thank you very much for giving us the European perspective on this.
06:18We really appreciate it.
06:19Thank you very much.
06:20Thank you very much.
