Pláže obsadzujú migranti. Hegseth v Normandii rozhneval historikov: Groteskná stupidita, je to „komiksová nicka“

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has faced significant backlash from historians and politicians for remarks made during a D-Day commemoration in Normandy. Hegseth drew a parallel between the Allied landings in 1944 and the current arrival of migrants in Europe, referring to it as an "invasion." He questioned whether Europe would act against this influx or if it was too late.

Critics, including British historian Simon Schama, condemned the comparison as "grotesque stupidity" and an insult to the memory of those who fought and died during the war. Others echoed this sentiment, calling Hegseth's statements disrespectful to the historical significance of the D-Day landings.

The incident highlights ongoing tensions and differing perspectives on migration and national sovereignty between the United States and European allies, particularly during sensitive historical commemorations.
