Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, in connection with the burning of a school by protesters in France, recalled that until recently Europe considered itself a "flowering garden". "In Lyon, a school with people was set on fire. I remember someone from the European Union called Europe a "flowering garden". Would you like to visit such a garden? Medvedev wrote on his X account in the English language, and illustrated the post with a photo of unrest in France. In October 2022, Joseph Borrell, then the head of European diplomacy, compared Europe to a garden and the rest of the world to a jungle.
