    Default Juncker and Youtube do not like certain questions.



    What are the questions about?
    - big multinationals lobbying
    - Juncker work as Luxembourg Minister of Finance, that allows multinationals to pay a 1% tax instead of the various ones all over Europe
    - the European Commission lax supervising of environmental laws

    And the Youtube employee warns the journalist: ''You do not want the European Commission and Youtube as your enemies''.

    So, we hear a lot from this ''liberal'' elite complaining about the Visegrad Group allegedly killing liberal Europe, yet when liberal values like free speech, free press and transparency, they are the first to hate it and demand censorship.

    This is why liberal Europe is dead. The hypocritical illberal elite killed it to hide its mismanagment.

    What do you think guys? Who is the illiberal one at the end of the day?

    Good on her. Clearly YouTube wanted one of those typical non-interviews where the interviewer asks a load of vacuous questions and receives vacuous answers, so it's nice to see someone actually making Junker visibly uncomfortable. "Wouldn't it be like promoting a bank robber to chief of police?" was a nice touch. I'm guessing that contract offered the day after was to placate her.

    Didn't know the current political leadership could be described as liberal Basil. Unless we are talking about classical liberals.

    Can I say everyone? I don't think we've had a political and economic system in which certain questions and statements were not... discouraged.

    Youtube is an instrument of Google, and they certainly want a detente with the EU.

    It isn't financially propping up the platform for nothing, and with nothing.
    Eats, shoots, and leaves.
