Surely, I don’t ever remember such a class of bizarre, incompetent, and unemployable individuals running the Ministry of Education in history. Apparently, the Ministry of Education has a Head of Ethics who fancies himself as a “geopolitics expert.” In reality, this means he enjoys reading Russian propaganda and sees himself as a clever contrarian by spreading it. Unsurprisingly, he also lectures at the University of Malta.
The Head of Ethics of the Ministry of Education, described Ukraine, currently bombed daily with airstrikes directed against civilians and civilian infrastructure, as “Easy Ukraine”. He makes reference to Putin’s friend and Russian oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk who was sent to Russia as part of a prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine. He also says that Romanian politician Calin Georgescu was prevented from contesting elections without any reason, when Calin Georgescu is in fact, currently under investigation for conspiring with the Russian military, and also having his political campaign financed by the Russian government.
Apparently the drift of the argument is the far-right conspiracy that Europe is not democratic and Russia is not so bad. He also concludes by saying that Putin is not actually a dictator because he is democratically elected (elections in Russia are rigged and most of the political opposition is in jail).
This is basically the Head of Ethics of the Ministry of Education and a government executive literally spreading false information and Russian propaganda. Supposedly he is responsible for ethics in the education system.
This government has gone off the rails to an unprecedented level, and I suspect we are well on our way to Idiocracy if we continue following the far right and the example set by the US. Literally anyone can have any government position by the current standards.
