ECB Chief Christine Lagarde was pranked into thinking she was talking with Ukraine President Zelensky. The woman in charge of the Euro was tricked and made a stunning admission. Lagarde said the digital EU system will be used as a control mechanism. It’s all “about power and control of the EU citizens.”
Yikes! We’re next.
“The Alexis show prank-called ECB Chief Christine Lagarde, who was once the chief of the IMF before she got into some legal problems. And she was convicted of some crimes in France, but no problem; just because you’re convicted of some crimes doesn’t mean you can’t make it all the way to the top of the European Central Bank.
“So they interviewed Christine Lagarde, fake-interviewed Christine Lagarde, and this time they didn’t pretend to be Poroshenko. They pretended to be Zelensky. And Christine Lagarde, she believed that. This is the person that is in charge of the euro. She’s in charge of the euro, and she actually believed that she was talking to Volodymyr Zelensky.”
The political commentater, Alex Christoforou, joked in the clip below about the fake Zelensky asking her for a couple of billion euros to buy some homes in France.
“She said that sanctions failed to lower the ruble because of Elvira Nabiullina …[of] the way that she handled the collective West sanctions.” She said that “Russia is doing just fine, so that was interesting to hear Lagarde praise the work of the head of the Central Bank of Russia, and then Lagarde admitted that the digital euro CBDCs, which are coming to the EU, which are going to have to come to the EU, she said they have to get the digital euro.
“She said that it is all about power and control. The digital euro will be a control mechanism for EU citizens. She said that now as the EU, we are dependent on gas supplies from a very unfriendly country, and we need the digital euro to help us with that. And then she said that we have a threshold. The EU has a threshold of €1000 in Europe. If you cross it, you will find yourselves in the grey market. You risk being caught, fined, or sent to jail. But the digital euro will have limited control. She said that was the quote from some of the quotes from this prank call with Christine Lagarde.
“Limited control with the digital euro. I don’t think so. In this interview, Lagarde talked about 3 to 400 euros being some sort of a threshold, and anything above that, anything spent above that will be monitored. And it’ll be monitored very, very easily with the digital euro.
