It is a difficult organization to defend “principles” and “values,” a problem with distant origins in the West. And this, in Pascal Boniface’s analysis, brings out the European paradox: a commitment to supporting Zelensky to the victorious end without being sure of the convergence of interests. All the while, those representatives of big companies, criminal or otherwise, who give life in Mexico to what Alessandro Politi does not hesitate to call the global mafia war, are absolutely consistent.
