Europe’s political class has turned its back on the people it was supposed to protect. The people have taken notice.
Over the weekend, a conservative Polish historian named Karol Nawrocki, backed by the Law and Justice opposition (and President Trump), narrowly won the Polish presidential election. For the European political establishment, Nawrocki’s victory was a catastrophe — a harbinger of right-wing fascism looming over the continent.
Why? Because Nawrocki campaigned against the mass immigration policy of Brussels while promoting conservative Catholic values and Polish nationalism. During his victory speech Sunday night, Nawrocki said, “My Poland is a Poland without illegal migrants. It is a Poland where, instead of integration centers, there are deportation centers for those who want to destroy our safety.”
It turns out, this sentiment is increasingly popular not just in Poland but all across Europe. Last week in Portugal, the right-wing populist Chega party overtook the center-left Socialist Party as the country’s main opposition. Six years ago, Chega had only a single seat in the Assembly of the Republic. It now has 60. In Germany, Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) is one of the most popular political parties in the country, yet Germany’s domestic intelligence agency has officially classified AfD a right-wing extremist group. Why? Because AfD opposes mass immigration and promotes German national identity. In France’s national elections last year, only a desperately cobbled-together coalition of left-wing parties prevented the right-wing National Rally (RN) and its allies from winning.
These populist movements are seen as a threat to the political class of Europe because they are concerned primarily with a proper historical understanding of what the nation is and what the state is for, which is the preservation of the nation and the defense of its people and heritage...

Call it what it is. It’s a dictatorship. The European commission is not elected, they are appointed by member nations with a rotating presidency or leader of the Junta which ever you prefer. They cannot be voted out. People vote for individual members of European Parliament, but that parliament cannot create law, it only serves as a rubberstamp. It holds no power over the European Commission beyond advisory. The EU is a large bureaucratic technocratic dictatorship.
Europe has no tradition of freedom. It’s either been a monarchy, an oligarchy, or a straight up dictator ship. That’s why people who started America left
.
Wow.
People from other countries who don’t share you values, or speak your language
move to your country, shoot your neighbors, crash cars into innocent
crowds of you fellow countrymen, blow up shopping malls and whatever
else, and people want them deported. How unfriendly and radical is that!
WOW!
/sarc
And the people don’t like being lectured by politicians saying they should shut up and enjoy it!
The EU is a large bureaucratic technocratic dictatorship.
They have not been elected, either.
Wont matter they wont do anything
