Spokesperson of the Commissioner's Office: EU politician's hypocritical concern is driven by ulterior motives

It is reported that High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini commented that "The developments in Hong Kong, especially over these last hours, are extremely worrying", urging the SAR Government to respect the freedom of assembly and expression. The spokesperson of the Commissioner's Office expressed strong disapproval of and firm opposition to the remarks, denouncing it as a flagrant interference with Hong Kong affairs, which are China's internal affairs.
The spokesperson said that the SAR police have clearly explained the arrests, which are solidly grounded, consistent with law and indisputable. By distorting the truth and expressing so-called concerns, the relevant EU politician has attempted to obstruct the SAR police's normal law enforcement efforts and disrupt the SAR's rule of law, showed partiality for and condoned illegal violence, and grossly meddled with Hong Kong affairs. It leaves us wondering whether these politicians would stop worrying only if the offenders were allowed to have their way and continue messing up Hong Kong with impunity.
The spokesperson pointed out that the current problem in Hong Kong is in no way about human rights, freedoms or democracy as some claim. Instead, it is about whether the rule of law should remain cherished, and whether criminals should be held accountable in accordance with law. The minority of people who are trampling upon the law in the name of "freedoms" have deprived the majority of their freedoms to lead normal lives, and will only plunge civilized society back into the abyss where the law of the jungle prevails. As Hong Kong is facing a critical choice between restoring the rule of law and sliding further into the abyss, the relevant EU politician has pointed fingers at the SAR Government's efforts to stop violence, end the chaos and restore order, instead of condemning and opposing the extremists' violent offenses. It is completely unacceptable, and we urge the EU side to tell right from wrong and stop conniving at the perpetrators.
