Breitbart is an American news portal known for its conservative profile, formed in 2007. He frequently publishes articles on political, immigration and cultural issues, highlighting the request to defend borders, national sovereignty and conventional values. He regularly reports texts from politicians, publicists and activists who criticize globalist tendencies in Western politics.
It was on this portal on 30 July that an extended comment was published by Dutch Freedom organization (PVV) leader Geert Wilders, entitled "Europe Faces Its Last Chance Elections And There Is No Time To Lose". In this text, Wilders warns that Europe is at a historical turning point and may not last unless it takes decisive action against mass immigration.
Wilders begins his article from a mention to gathering Donald Trump, recalling his strong words "This immigration is killing Europe":
“The president personally encouraged me to proceed my fight for the safety and endurance of the Dutch people.”
According to the leader of PVV, Europe stands on the brink of a gap. In his opinion, the continent could shortly become a "north-north-east trailer for Africa or the western edge of the muslim Umma". He warns that the time for consequence is very limited:
“We must act now. Not tomorrow, not next year. Now.”
Wilders recalls that his organization was part of a government coalition, but discontinued cooperation erstwhile centred partners rejected his demands to immediately halt the admission of alleged refugees and asylum seekers. As he claims, the Dutch are a hospitable nation, but many visitors do not meet the definition of refugees, and these are those who entered illegally and stay without the right of residence:
“They are not refugees, they are illegal migrants.”
For this reason, he felt it was his work to bring about earlier elections to become a referendum on immigration. He compared them to the celebrated metaphor “Flight 93 election” – a situation where 1 must decide: inaction means disaster, action gives a chance to save:
“Elections must give patriotic parties a mandate to close borders or the future will be lost.”
Wilders returns with memories until 2015, erstwhile Angela Merkel and Mark Rutte opened borders, allowing more than 10 million migrants, mostly young men with no qualifications, as he claims. In his opinion, the effects are financial and culturally disastrous. He cites data from mathematician Jan van de Beek, according to which keeping 1 exile in the Netherlands for life costs around 800,000 euros. It besides points to Denmark, which offers EUR 27 000 to any Syrian who agrees to return to his homeland.
A lot of space is devoted to the Islamicization of Europe. It warns that the percent of Muslims in the UK may emergence from the current 7% to 20% by the end of the century, and on the European continent from 5% to 15% by the mediate of the century:
“If we do not close borders, our Judeo-Christian traditions will be lost and Europe’s future is further Islam.”
He claims that although most Muslims are not extremists, adequate of them want to impose their standards and dominate society. It cites studies that a crucial proportion of Muslims in Europe put Sharia law over secular law, and in the Netherlands 11% let force in the name of Islam.
Wilders besides describes his individual experiences. For more than 20 years, he has been surviving under constant police protection due to threats of death and destiny issued by Islamists:
“I have lost my privacy and freedom, but I do not intend to stay silent.”
He stresses that most Dutch do not consider Islam to be part of their national identity, and the country struggles with expanding crime, anti-Semitism and religiously motivated violence. She warns that the judaic community is simply a “canary in the mine” – if she stops feeling safe, the remainder of society will shortly share her fate:
“Coward Europe will not last by abandoning Jews.”
It should be noted here that although pro-Jewish and pro-Israeli attitudes among the western right hand are normal, Wilders is most likely the most ardent philosomist.
In the following part of the article, Wilders sets out the circumstantial demands of its group: to usage troops to defend the borders and return migrants from Germany, to halt household reunification, to refuse to accept single men seeking asylum, to punish illegal border crossings, to deport Syrians to safe parts of Syria, to expel abroad criminals and, in the case of people with dual citizenship, to receive passports and deportations.
He besides criticises European elites for being open to countries like Turkey, while at the same time closing the door to Israeli representatives. It points to the request for a policy based on the strong defence of borders and the precedence of citizens' security.
Finally, Wilders quotes Abraham Lincoln:
“You cannot escape the work of tomorrow, avoiding it today.”
It calls for the October elections in the Netherlands to be a crucial minute in which the people decide to reject “cowardyness and passiveness” and choose a course to defend their culture, safety and independence.
