Although several days have passed since the statement of the Commissioner for Security and Foreign Affairs of the European Union, Josep Borrell, who compared Europe to a garden and the world to a jungle, his statement still provokes interaction through communication sites.
Borrell’s statement outraged a large number of Arab Twitter users, with one replying, “The truth is that Europe has become a garden because it has been plundering the jungle for centuries.”
Josep Borrell: Europe is a garden, and the world around is a jungle!
The truth is that Europe has become a garden because it has been pillaging the jungle for centuries.

Another thought that this statement was not absurd, and that Europe was thinking of “invading again for resources.”
Statement: “Private Europe is a “garden”, and the world around it is a “jungle”, can conquer the garden.”
Speaking: European Union Commissioner for Security and Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell
Commentary: This statement is not absurd, but Europe is thinking about invading again for resources, and demonizing the other is the logical justification for justification. The best defense is attack.— Adele ABDULLAH 公平 (@AAAGulf) October 18, 2022
Another said: “…This winter, without Russian gas, your garden will turn into blocks of ice.”
#Europe “Garden” and the world around it – “jungle” … Borrell boasts of “building a European garden”,
And Zakharova reminds him that “The Garden of Europe is built from #marauding the wealth of what he calls the jungle

And the tweeter wrote: “…a garden will not protect itself from the invasion of the forest by building walls around it … but by opening up to the forest!!”.

Borrell said in a statement last Thursday that “Europe is a garden, we have built a garden, the best combination of political freedom, economic prosperity and social cohesion that mankind has been able to build, but the rest of the world is not exactly a garden, the rest of the world … most of the rest of the world is jungle.”
He added: “The bushes can invade the garden and gardeners should take care of it, but they will not protect the garden by building fences, a beautiful small garden surrounded by high fences to prevent the growth of the bush will not be a solution because the bush has a huge capacity to growth, and fences, no matter how high, cannot protect the garden, gardeners must go into the bushes, Europeans must be more connected with the rest of the world, otherwise the rest of the world will invade Europe.”
In response, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Emil Poulsen, acting head of the European Union’s mission to the country, and demanded a written explanation of Borrell’s “harmful and racist” statements.
Qatari Minister of State Hamad bin Abdulaziz Al Kuwari felt that Borrell’s statement “expresses racism, imbalance, civilized and useless bankruptcy”.
