Wait 5 sec.

Former MEP Cyrus Engerer has publicly challenged comments made by PN leader Alex Borg regarding mosques and Christian democracy.In a statement shared online, Engerer said there was “plenty worth reflecting on” in Borg’s recent debate, particularly on governance issues, but argued that one claim “cannot go unchallenged”.Engerer criticised Borg after the PN leader described himself as a Christian democrat while also saying he is against the building of mosques.“That is not a Christian democratic position. It is the opposite,” Engerer wrote.He argued that Christian democracy is rooted in human dignity and religious freedom, referencing the Catholic Church’s Dignitatis Humanae declaration from the Second Vatican Council in 1965.Engerer added that opposing mosques while invoking Christian democratic values is “a contradiction in terms”, describing Borg’s position instead as “cultural nationalism dressed in Christian Democratic language”.What do you make of Cyrus Engerer’s comments?•
