EU diplomacy chief denies his comments were racist

Brussels, Oct 19 (Prensa Latina) European Union's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Wednesday denied that his comments were racist when he called Europe a garden and the world around it with a jungle.

In a comment published on the EU website, the Spanish politician said that his reference to the jungle was different, and his words have no racist, cultural or geographical connotation.

The growth of this lawless world and disorder is what I meant when I expressed that idea, stressed the diplomat, who added, unfortunately, this phenomenon is everywhere, including in Ukraine, he said.

The EU high representative for foreign policy apologized to those who have interpreted his metaphor, according to him, as colonial Euro-centrism.
