EU President von der Leyen praises Europe's freedom of expression – a critic who interrupts is arrested and sentenced shortly afterwards. Ironically, Ursula von der Leyen responded: "Be glad you're in a free country like Finland. In Russia, you would have been arrested in two minutes." The arrested man himself commented: "I was arrested for criticizing Ursula von der Leyen and for peacefully protesting. What a joke! The court convicted me for a crime I didn't commit. Freedom of expression in Europe is disappearing before our eyes." https://weltwoche.de/daily/eu-chefin-von-der-leyen-preist-die-meinungsfreiheit-europas-ein-kritiker-der-dazwischen-ruft-wird-kurz-darauf-verhaftet-und-verurteilt/
