    Organisers said that up to 50,000 were on the march which marked the anniversary of Poland's independence after the Second World War 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. Police said 25,000 people joined the march, which marked the anniversary of Poland's return to independence after the Second 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...

    'With Open Gates: The forced collective suicide of European nations,' a slick, hard-hitting film about the European migrant crisis is going viral in Europe, already watched at least half a million times. Although the 19-minute film may feel like a dispatch from the future, it is cut entirely from recent news reports, police camera footage, and interviews. Kicking off with scenes of a modern car ferry disgorging thousands of illegals into Greece, the film then cuts to dozens of aerial shots of columns of migrants marching north into Europe. The film then changed to the harrowing testimony of one young...

    Euro Nationalists Love Putin's Syria Gamble Haydn Rippon 11.07.15 When reading critics of Russia’s Syrian war, the impact in Europe is rarely considered. They have a limited view of Putin’s great game: the Middle East is crucial, but taking down the EU is a checkmate move. Activists at PEGIDA’s (Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the Occident) recent march in Dresden roared, “Merkel to Siberia, Putin to Berlin.” The anti-Islamist’s chant is telling. Russian strikes against Sunni jihadists in Syria are having a strong impact on political opinion in Europe. The increasing numbers already deeply alienated from the EU increasingly...

    France's National Front announced Tuesday it had formed a new far-right bloc in the European Parliament that will qualify for up to nearly $20 million in funding over the next four years. Marine Le Pen, leader of the FN, said the group would be called Europe of Nations and Freedoms. Her allies share Le Pen's desire to curb immigration and the influence of Islam in Europe -- a concern that critics have described as xenophobic. They include the Dutch Party for Freedom, the Freedom Party of Austria, Italy's Lega Nord and Vlaams Belang from Belgium as well as lawmakers from...
  • 'The hate is back' say German media as migrant crisis sparks the country's worst political violence

    Germany has endured its worst few weeks of civil unrest and politically motivated violence since the days of the Nazis. Police officers, politicians, journalists but above all refugees have been the target of thugs protesting the country's open-door policy towards migrants. The refugee crisis has changed Germany and, while Chancellor Angela Merkel believes it will be ultimately for the better, the dark parallels with the past continue to mount up.
  • European Union Predicts Economic Boon From Influx of Migrants

    BRUSSELS — European Union officials on Thursday put a positive economic spin on the bloc’s refugee crisis. In an economic forecast, officials predicted that the three million migrants expected by 2017 would provide at least a small lift — a net gain of perhaps a quarter of 1 percent by that year to the European economy. With that prediction, the European Commission, the bloc’s executive arm, used one of its periodic economic forecasts to wade into the most divisive issue, migration, Europe has faced in decades. The arrival this year of large numbers of refugees and migrants from Syria and...

    A Spanish archbishop has called the large influx of migrants currently travelling through Europe an "invasion" that could turn into a "Trojan horse" in European societies. Cardinal Antonio Canizares, Archbishop of Valencia, told a meeting of the New Economic Forum that many so-called refugees are in fact not fleeing persecution and may not be "totally trustworthy" in their intentions in settling in Europe. The cardinal asked the audience: "This invasion of migrants: is it totally trustworthy? What will Europe be like in a few years, given when is happening now? "You cannot play with history, nor with people's identity," he...

    One of the most important decisions Brits have to make before the end of 2017 (most likely some time next year) is whether or not to remain in the European Union, and while recent polls have those willing to stay in as the majority, there has been a spike in support for leaving the bloc which coupled with Europe's refugee crisis has made a Brexit an all too possible outcome. Which probably explains why the U.S., confident it sill has veto power over democracies anywhere in the world, has just made it quite clear to UK's citizens which way they...

    Law and Justice party’s aggressive nationalism and strict Catholicism could reap dividends in crucial elections The gigantic green-and-yellow tractor should be the pride and joy of Janusz Wnorowski’s humble farmyard. But the 57-year-old milk farmer associates the John Deere with the debt and bureaucracy that have visited him since Poland joined the European Union. “Whom I vote for is a religious decision, not a political one,’’ he says, suggesting he will choose the ultra-conservative Law and Justice party of President Andrzej Duda. Tacitly endorsed by the powerful Roman Catholic Church, Law and Justice is seen in this village as a...

    David Cameron is to signal his determination to maintain Britain’s membership of the EU by issuing a direct challenge to anti-EU campaigners who claim the UK could negotiate a semi-detached relationship with Brussels. Amid growing fear among pro-EU Tories that the Leave campaign is making most of the running in the EU debate, Cameron will say he sees little future for Britain alongside European countries that have opted out of the EU. The prime minister, who has faced strong pressure from pro-European Tories to highlight the benefits of the UK’s EU membership, will speak out during an appearance at the...

    A British exit from the European Union would have a devastating effect on the nation’s farmers, leaving only the most efficient 10% able to survive without the multi-billion pound subsidies currently handed out by Brussels, says a new report. The study, titled Preparing for Brexit by the independent London-based analysts Agra Europe – who track EU and UK policy, also warns that leaving the EU could damage UK food exports, cause large multinational food companies to relocate away from the UK, and choke off the supply of much-needed seasonal labour from eastern Europe.

    Angela Merkel agreed at a meeting with Turkish leaders to help jumpstart Ankara’s EU membership talks and relax visa requirements in exchange for a pledge to slow the flow of refugees into Europe. The German leader, under intense pressure at home to reduce the number of refugees heading for Germany, held separate meetings in Istanbul on Sunday with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu to win their support. The outcome amounted to a bold quid pro quo that underscored the pressure she faces to resolve the crisis quickly. “We had a very intensive and broad discussion,”...

    Turkey has brushed off the offer of EU membership in exchange for halting the refugee influx as “bribery”, hours after European leaders sought to buy the country’s co-operation at a price of £2 billion. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the man Europe hopes can hold back a vast new wave of migrants, ridiculed an offer of visas, cash and a fresh chapter of accession talks drawn up by European leaders last night. If Brussels wants his co-operation, nothing less than full EU membership will do, the president said, adding that the offer did not appear to be “sincere”. “The West and Europe's...
