And if I have understood him correctly, he is comparing conditions in parts of Europe with those in authoritarian regions&#8230; that is not acceptable.&quot; Pistorius accused Vance of painting a distorted picture of democracy. With the German elections just over a week away, and the far-right AfD in second place in the polls, Pistorius poured scorn on the notion that free speech was being stymied. Democracy means that &quot;extremist parties such as the AfD can campaign quite normally, just like any other party. However, democracy does not mean that the loud minority is automatically right and determines the truth,&quot; Pistorius said. Earlier, JD Vance said that free speech was &quot;in retreat&quot; in Europe while mass migration was a topic being underestimated by nations across the continent.<\/p>\n<p>Chapters:<br \/>\n00:00 German Defense Minister Pistorius rebuffs US VP Vance<br \/>\n02:30 Teri Schulz, DW Correspondent<br \/>\n06:25 Cathryn Cl\u00fcver Ashbrook, Bertelsmann Foundation<\/p>\n<p>#msc2025 #Pistorius #JDVance<br \/>\nFor more news go to: http:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/<\/p>\n<p>For more news, analysis and background information on the German election 2025 go to our dedicated page: https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/german-election-2025\/t-70794502<\/p>\n<p>Follow DW on social media:<br \/>\n\u25baInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baTikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/deutschewellenews\/<br \/>\n\u25baTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/dwnews<\/p>\n<p>F\u00fcr Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/dwdeutsch<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has heavily criticized JD Vance after the US vice president accused European governments of ignoring voter concerns on immigration and stamping down on free speech. &quot;Democracy was called into question by the US vice president for the whole of Europe earlier,&quot; Pistorius said at the Munich Security Conference. &quot;He speaks [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":218811,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[130889],"tags":[128873,130181,129006],"actors":[],"class_list":["post-218810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dw-news","tag-defense","tag-german","tag-minister"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>German Defense Minister Pistorius rebuffs US Vice President Vance&#039;s speech | DW News | News ISC Videos<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Watch German Defense Minister Pistorius rebuffs US Vice President Vance&#039;s speech | DW News for free, here on News ISC.
