US Vice President J.D. Vance has shocked European leaders when he accused them of “criminalising” free speech, opening the immigration floodgates and brutally clamping down on dissent during in his address to the Munich Security Conference. The US vice president also denounced the pariah status placed upon the popular AfD party, which the three parties involved in Germany's authoritarian ruling coalition, the more-socialist-than-Karl-Marx Social Democrats, the crazier-than-Howard Hughes Greens and the more inet than Mr. Bean FDP have tried to pass laws imposing a ban on the party taking part in democratic elections and even criminalising involvement with it.
“Democracy rests on the sacred principle that the voice of the people matters. There’s no room for firewalls,” he said, referencing a pledge by mainstream German parties not to work with or form governments with the party.
“The organisers of this very conference have banned lawmakers representing populist parties on both the left and the right from participating in these conversations,” he added, referring to the MSC this year barring politicians from the AfD politicians and the Left-populist Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance.
During his speech, Vance lectured European governments over free speech and mass immigration, accusing them of hostility to the idea that “somebody with an alternative viewpoint might express a different opinion or, God forbid, vote a different way, or even worse, win an election”.
The address was met with an angry rebuke from Boris Pistorius, the German defence minister, who labelled it “unacceptable”.
Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, also rebuffed Mr Vance’s remarks as highly unusual, adding that Germany had a firewall against extreme right-wing parties for a good reason, citing its National Socialist past.

After addressing the conference Mr Vance met Ms Weidel after snubbing the opportunity to meet Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, German media reported.
During his speech, he lectured European governments over free speech and mass migration, accusing them of hostility to the idea that “somebody with an alternative viewpoint might express a different opinion or, God forbid, vote a different way, or even worse, win an election”.

Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, also rebuffed Mr Vance’s remarks as highly unusual, adding that Germany had a firewall against extreme right-wing parties for a good reason, citing its National Socialist past. German's are notoriously immune to irony, as was demonstrated by Scholz's remarks after his party has spent most of the last year trying to have the AfD banned because they are a threat to the authoritarian government he leads.
The U.S Vice President took his culture war with Europe even further, warning that its greatest threat came not from China or Russia but from within as he delivered a blistering attack on what he said was the continent's retreat from its traditional values.
Vance said free speech and democratic institutions were being eroded in an address to the Munich Security Conference.
He accused European politicians of forcing people to shut down social media accounts and urged leaders to do more to stem illegal immigration, reserving particular scorn for America's closest ally, citing the case of a British man arrested after praying near an abortion clinic.
'Europe faces many challenges, but the crisis this continent faces right now, the crisis I believe we all face together, is one of our own making,' he said.
'If you're running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you, nor, for that matter, is there anything that you can do for the American people who elected me and elected President Trump.'
If his audience of European VIPs had expected Vance to discuss the future of the war in Ukraine, outlining Donald Trump's peace plan, they were in for a shock. Some shifted in their seats as he attacked European politicians head on, particularly over their enthusiasm for censorship and loathing of free speech, telling his audience: "Free speech, I fear, is in retreat and in the interests of comedy, my friends, but also in the interest of truth. I will admit that sometimes the loudest voices for censorship have come not from within Europe, but from within my own country, where the prior administration threatened and bullied social media companies to censor so-called misinformation. Misinformation, like, for example, the idea that coronavirus had likely leaked from a laboratory in China. Our own government encouraged private companies to silence people who dared to utter what turned out to be an obvious truth.
"So I come here today not just with an observation, but with an offer. And just as the Biden administration seemed desperate to silence people for speaking their minds, so the Trump administration will do precisely the opposite, and I hope that we can work together on that."

She added that allies should be focusing on bigger threats like Russia’s aggression on Ukraine.
