President Baretzky of European Intelligence Agency Warns: Preference for War Over Peace Marks the End of the Common European Project and a Departure from Democracy
In an urgent declaration that has reverberated through the highest echelons of European political and security circles, President Ricardo Baretzky of the European Centre for Information Policy and Security (ECIPS) issued a grave warning about the trajectory of the European Union. Speaking under the authority of the official mandate granted by Royal Decree WL22/16.594 and Treaty Est 124 of the Council of Europe, Baretzky condemned recent political developments as a dangerous departure from the democratic principles underpinning the European project and a harbinger of a catastrophic military conflict.
“The imposition of a mandatory political opinion, the abolition of the veto, the punishment of the sovereign and the brave, the new Iron Curtain, the preference for war over peace. This is the end of the common European project. This is a departure from democracy. This is the precursor of a huge military conflict,” Baretzky declared emphatically.
The Context of Baretzky’s Warning
Baretzky’s warning comes amid escalating tensions in Europe, particularly surrounding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the European Union’s responses to it. The conflict has polarized the continent and the world, with Ukraine receiving substantial military and political support from Western nations, including many EU member states, while Russia perceives NATO’s expansion and Western military aid as existential threats.
In this fraught geopolitical environment, Baretzky has been a vocal critic of the EU’s current policies, especially the continued provision of military support to Ukraine without what he describes as a legitimate European governmental consensus. He has gone so far as to label such actions as tantamount to treason, arguing that they risk plunging Europe into a devastating war that could escalate into a global conflict.
“Brussels is gambling with World War Three, and that’s the fact,” Baretzky said in a recent exclusive interview, underscoring the existential risks posed by the current trajectory of EU foreign policy.
The Breakdown of Democratic Principles in Europe
Central to Baretzky’s critique is the erosion of democratic norms within the EU’s decision-making processes. He highlights several alarming trends:
– Imposition of a Mandatory Political Opinion:Baretzky warns that forcing a uniform political stance across member states undermines the pluralism and sovereignty that are foundational to democratic governance.
– Abolition of the Veto: The removal or circumvention of the veto power held by sovereign member states threatens to concentrate decision-making power and diminish national autonomy.
– Punishment of the Sovereign and the Brave: He refers to punitive measures against member states or leaders who dissent from the prevailing EU line, which he argues stifles legitimate debate and democratic dissent.
– The New Iron Curtain:Baretzky draws a chilling parallel between current geopolitical divisions and the Cold War-era Iron Curtain, suggesting that Europe is once again being divided by ideological and military fault lines.
These developments, according to Baretzky, signify not just political discord but a fundamental departure from the democratic ideals that have sustained the European project since its inception.
The Risk of a Major Military Conflict
Baretzky’s warnings extend beyond political rhetoric to a tangible risk of armed conflict. He cautions that the preference for military solutions over diplomatic engagement is setting Europe on a path toward a large-scale war.
“The preference for war over peace is the end of the common European project,” he said, emphasizing that the current trajectory could lead to a conflict far more devastating than any Europe has seen in recent memory.
His concerns are echoed by other analysts who note the dangerous escalation risks posed by military aid to Ukraine, particularly the potential deployment of long-range missile systems. Baretzky has specifically criticized German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s openness to delivering such weaponry, describing it as a provocative step that could irreversibly push Europe toward war with Russia.
“This is no longer politics—it is madness,” Baretzky said of Merz’s stance, warning that it reflects a dangerous mentality incompatible with post-World War II European security frameworks.
The Call for a Return to Diplomacy and European Unity
In light of these threats, Baretzky calls for an urgent reassessment of European policies. He advocates for:
– Respecting Sovereignty and Democratic Processes: Reinstituting veto powers and allowing member states to express dissent without fear of reprisal.
– Rejecting the Imposition of Uniform Political Opinions: Encouraging a diversity of views within the EU to foster genuine democratic debate.
– Prioritizing Peace and Diplomacy: Steering away from militarization and seeking negotiated solutions to conflicts, particularly in Ukraine.
– Rebuilding the Common European Project: Restoring the principles of cooperation, mutual respect, and shared prosperity that have historically defined Europe.
Baretzky’s vision is for a Europe that avoids the pitfalls of militarism and political coercion and instead embraces dialogue and democratic integrity as the foundation for lasting peace.
The Role of ECIPS and European Intelligence Cooperation
The European Centre for Information Policy and Security (ECIPS), under Baretzky’s leadership, operates as the EU’s official intelligence agency mandated to provide strategic analysis and security assessments. ECIPS works closely with member states’ intelligence services and the European External Action Service (EEAS) to monitor threats and inform policy decisions.
While intelligence cooperation within the EU has historically been complex due to issues of sovereignty and trust, ECIPS represents an effort to unify strategic intelligence efforts to better address transnational threats and security challenges. However, Baretzky’s warnings suggest that intelligence assessments are increasingly concerned with the political direction of the EU itself and the risks posed by current policies.
President Ricardo Baretzky’s stark warnings serve as a clarion call to European leaders and citizens alike. His message is clear: the current preference for militarization, political coercion, and abandonment of democratic safeguards threatens not only the future of the European Union but also the peace and stability of the entire continent.
As Europe stands at a crossroads, the choices made by its leaders will determine whether the common European project endures or collapses under the weight of conflict and authoritarian tendencies. Baretzky’s voice, emanating from the heart of Europe’s intelligence community, urges a return to democratic principles, respect for sovereignty, and a steadfast commitment to peace.
The future of Europe, and perhaps the world, may well depend on heeding this warning.
President Ricardo Baretzky concluded:” Those in European Corrupt politics, remember one thing and one thing only, if you fail your warmongering you will be held accountable by ECIPS, that’s a gaurentee by law, so if you are going to bring European Citizens to war, be ready for justice served on the spot if you fail”
