Political violence against the right is raging, but the left appears to tacitly — and sometimes openly — endorse it...
On Wednesday, the Patriots for Europe Group in the European Parliament initiated a plenary debate and a resolution condemning political violence, including the attempted assassination of former U.S. President Donald Trump, the current presidential candidate, but the majority of MEPs voted against it, Kinga Gál, the group’s first vice-president, said in Strasbourg.
At her press conference, Kinga Gál criticized the EU parliament for doing virtually nothing to combat the political violence that has already been rife in Europe. She cited as examples the attack on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and the case of Antifa activist Ilaria Salis, who was arrested in Budapest and “despite almost killing an innocent man, is now sitting in the EU parliament benches, and despite all the procedures, is lecturing us on how to behave.”

Kinga Gál said that in her speech before the agenda, she also referred to Tuesday’s EU parliament vote on the vice-presidencies, calling it disrespectful to the 18 million or so voters behind the Patriots for Europe group and to the basic rules of democracy and the rule of law that neither of the two candidates — Klara Dostalova and Fabrice Leggeri — from the parliament’s third-largest group received enough votes.
“The fact that practically an extreme communist was voted into the positions belonging to the Patriot MEPs with the help of the European People’s Party is unacceptable,” she said, adding that she did not rule out legal action.
“We must fight for what we deserve for parliamentary rules,” she said.
She said that Patriots for Europe had issued a political declaration on the issue, in which it said it strongly condemned all forms of violence in political life, in the light of recent manifestations of political violence in Europe and the U.S.
“The assassination attempts on U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico must not go unpunished,” the statement said.
“We find unacceptable the conniving silence of the left-wing political forces and the legitimization of violent acts against patriotic politicians. We demand respect for political opponents in the left discourse and expect fair and balanced treatment from the media,” Kinga Gál wrote in a Facebook post.
I’ve never been ashamed to be a white person, but those damn Europeans can be embarrassing.
In other words, the globalist liberal would have welcomed Trump’s assassination.

Europe has proven itself incapable of self-government. Europe needs someone like Putin to make them straighten up and fly right. Europe needs the fear of God put into them.
Money talks bull sh## walks, waiting for the trump kunga line to start with thier hands out. the puppets regurgitate the globalist elite talking points, orange man is bad, he did say climate scam last night didnt he
So the Left is going to go Muslim. They are in for a surprise!
Well then it will really suck for the EU if Trump wins, I’m betting they aren’t thinking about that yet.
If Trump does win, the Europeans are going to learn what the term “Taking Notes” means.
They certainly aren’t the smartest bunch on the planet, especially given that soon they may have to face a very angry and strong Russia, ON THEIR OWN.
“Why not give Europe to Vladimir Putin? Let him take it.”
You think Putin is an idiot? Actually, I think that in the near future Europeans will be BEGGING for Russia to come over and clean up their countries as VERY VIOLENT actions will be needed if they want a future other than being slaves to the people they invited in.
There must have been reasons why so many of our ancestors left the continent. The better ones became Americans etc.
Setting things up for political violence within Europe again?
I’m sure this is Russian propaganda.
And it’s effective, too. As soon as I finish my coffee, I’m writing my Congressman to ask why we are still in NATO.
That headline hardly makes sense to me
They have embraced violence by not condemning it. I think
Yet those violent leftists have a problem with Trump getting along with Putin.
I, for one, do not care what some foreign parliamentarians condemn or or don’t condemn. These same people roll over like yellow dogs to the tyranny in their own country.
