Ngo-Agasti 3, 2022, izishoshovu ezimbili zaseMontreal, u-Dimitri Lascaris kanye no-Laurel Thompson, baphazamisa isethulo sobudlelwane bomphakathi sikaNgqongqoshe Wezangaphandle waseCanada u-Melanie Joly kanye nesithandwa sakhe saseJalimane u-Annalena Baerbock. Umcimbi ubusingathwe yi-Montreal Chamber of Commerce.
Ngaphambi kokuthi kungene izishoshovu ezimbili, u-Joly no-Baerbock bebechaza ukuthi iCanada isanda kubuyisela kanjani umshini womoya eJalimane owawudingeka ukuze ulondoloze ukugeleza kwegesi ye-Nord Stream I evela eRussia. Ngaphandle kwegesi evela eRussia, iJalimane izobhekana nokushoda kwamandla okungaba yinhlekelele kulobu busika. Kodwa-ke, njengoba uLascaris abonisa, u-Joly wembula okuncane kokuzikhandla kwakhe ekuqinisekiseni isenzo sakhe. Nakuba isinqumo sokubuyisela i-turbine sipendwe njengesenzo sokusiza abantu, uJoly uveze lokhu kukhethwa njengengxenye yesu lokuvimbela uhulumeni kaPutin ukuthi angakwazi ukusola uhulumeni waseCanada ngenkinga yegesi yaseJalimane. ULascaris uphawula kanjena, "Silly me, bengicabanga ukuthi into ebaluleke kakhulu kuhulumeni waseTrudeau kwakuwukusiza abantu baseJalimane, hhayi ukunqoba impi yenkulumo-ze noPutin."
U-Laurel Thompson uthole amalunga e-blasé izethameli ukuthi abheke omakhalekhukhwini babo njengoba engena ekamelweni futhi ephakamisa i-placard "NO NATO". UThompson uyakhumbula:
“Ngesikhathi ngizwa ukuthi u-Annalena Baerbock noMélanie Joly bazoba khona emhlanganweni we-Montreal Chamber of Commerce ngoLwesithathu olwedlule, nganquma ukwenza udweshu lwami lokuqala njengomuntu ophazamisa impi. Ukuphazamisa kuyiqili ngoba uzama ukugqekeza inkulumo nabaholi abakhethiwe ezosakazwa ngabezindaba. Uyazi ukuthi uzomiswa, ngakho kufanele ukhiphe umlayezo wakho ngokushesha okukhulu. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, lokho kwaziswa okuncane nje kuyafaneleka ngoba kwenza abantu bazi ukuthi akubona bonke abavumelana nalokho okwenziwa egameni lethu. Ngabashisekeli abagijima emhlabeni kulezi zinsuku, lokhu kubalulekile. Bangase baqale ukungabaza kancane.
Ngangifake uqwembe ngemuva ebhulukweni ngakho kuthe uma sekufika isikhathi sokulamula, ngalukhipha ngaya phakathi nendawo lapho kwakukhona amakhamera. Ngiluphakamise phambi kwabo. Ngabe sengiphenduka futhi ngakhuluma nesiteji lapho bekuhleli khona uBaerbock noJoly. Anginalo izwi elikhulu kakhulu ngakho angicabangi ukuthi baningi abantu abangizwile. Ngathi ukulwa kwe-NATO neRussia kwakungalungile, futhi kufanele ngabe bayaxoxisana hhayi ukukhuthaza impi. I-Canada ichitha imali eningi kakhulu ezikhalini. Ngokushesha, ngamiswa amadoda amabili angiphushela eminyango yokuphuma. Enye yala madoda yangehlisa ngezitebhisi ezine ezizihambelayo futhi yaphuma ngomnyango ongaphambili wehhotela. Bengingaphandle komcimbi esikhathini esingaphansi kwemizuzu emibili.”
Ngokushesha ngemva kokungenelela kukaThompson, uLascaris wakhuluma. I-Lascaris kusho:
“Ngqongqoshe u-Baerbock, iqembu lakho kufanele lizibophezele ekungabini nodlame. Iqembu lakho lazalwa ngenxa yokuphikisa i-NATO. Uye wakhaphela izimiso ezibalulekile zeqembu labaHlaza ngokweseka ukunwetshwa kwe-NATO kuze kufike emingceleni yaseRussia, nangokusekela ukusetshenziswa kwemali okwengeziwe kwezempi. I-NATO ithunaza iYurophu nomhlaba!
Ungafunda i-akhawunti kaLascaris yokungenelela lapha. Buka ukungenelela kwakhe lapha.
Ngemuva kokungenelela, uThompson wathi:
“Umbukiso uqhubekile sesihambile futhi ukuphazanyiswa kwethu isikhashana cishe sekunyamalele ezinkumbulweni zabebekhona nathi ekamelweni. Kodwa-ke, manje nginesiqiniseko sokuthi ukuphazamiseka, okwenziwe kahle, kuyisu elisebenzayo. Kudinga isibindi ukusukuma umemeze uma abanye abantu besesiteji bekhuluma. Kodwa, njengoba amanye amapulatifomu atholakalayo - izincwadi eziya kumalungu ePhalamende, ukubonakaliswa - akusebenzanga, yikuphi ukukhetha esinakho? Ukuthula akukhulunywa ngakho kulezi zinsuku. Isizathu sokuthi kungani kungakaze kukhulunywe ngakho ukuthi akekho, ngaphandle kwethu, obonakala efuna. Kulungile, ngakho yisho kakhulu!”
Bravo kulaba baphazamisi ababili abanesibindi sokukhulumela ukuthula! Banyakazise osomabhizinisi ekuzitheleleni kwabo, bathunaza osopolitiki, bagqugquzela nezinye izishoshovu ukuthi zilandele ukuhola kwabo.
