Poles burn EU flags as thousands rally for independence

Depending  on whom you believe, 25,000 or 50,000 Poles rallied in Warsaw on the anniversary of Polish independence, denouncing the EU.  AFP, via the  UK Telegraph, reports:

Tens of thousands of protesters poured into Warsaw's streets on Wednesday for a demonstration organised by the far right, marching under the slogan "Poland for the Polish" and burning an EU flag.

which marked the anniversary of Poland's return to independence after the First World War, while organisers put the numbers at 50,000.

"God, honour, homeland," chanted the protesters as they marched under a sea of red-and-white Polish flags.

Demonstrators trampled and burned a European Union flag at one point, while a banner added to the anti-EU theme with the slogan "EU macht frei" ("Work makes you free" in German), a reference to the slogan over the gates at Auschwitz.

Actually, the slogan at Auschwitz was “Arbeit Macht Frei,” which translates as the article states. “EU macht frei” is this equating the EU with Nazism.

If the EU keeps forcing member nations to accept hundreds of thousands of Muslims – becoming millions as the flow continues – it may well fall apart.

No, the EU rules by crisis. Since the financial crisis was not enough to force its member states to surrender sovereignty to the degree the EU elites have always craved, this is their second push for same. It will most likely result in the so-called “two-speed Europe” that will give the larger countries even more power and reduce the smaller countries to vassals.

When I was in Poland, I recall the license plates had the EU Flag emblem, but they used their own currency? I noticed there were foreigners also working there. Many were from Vietnam. I think this is more about keeping their Christian Identity, and I don’t think they are so keen on the over diversity thingy. I recall my host asking, do you know how to polka? I told him I was from NY not Chicago.

Good Europeans of various stripes are finally getting it enough to stand for their sovereignty. They at last understand what the multicultural doctrine is — a path to a third world nation, a loss of heritage and a loss of God.

Outstanding. Maybe the “ditch the EU” movement will spread. Someone just needs to get the ball rolling.

Polish football (soccer) fans unveiled an enormous anti mass migration banner at Sunday’s Silesian Wrocław match against Poznań. Images from the match last night show a giant crusader defending Europe from invading jihadists in boats labelled USS Hussein, USS Bin Laden and USS ISIS.

By chance I spoke with my neighbor this morning, who owns a condo here in S Florida but lives mostly in Poland, about this very thing. He was PO’d...hates what is happening to his old country ( he is now a proud American) and hates the EU and obola! LOL. He also hates the whiney libs that infest S Florida!

This should shake up the anti immigrant vile here....LOL

It was the Poles who got the ball rolling on the break-up of the Soviet Union. They will do the same to the EU.
