#HeleenMees in #VOLKSKRANT: Last Saturday, Trump proclaimed: “He who saves his country does not violate any law.” The statement comes eerily close to the Führerprinzip, which formed the basis for executive power in Nazi Germany. www.volkskrant.nl/columns-opin...

Sir #JohnMajor: "It's extremely odd to lecture Europe on the subject of free speech and democracy at the same time as they're cuddling Putin. In Mr Putin's Russia, people who disagree with him disappear, or die, or flee the country, or fall out of high windows somewhere in Moscow."
