EU flag burned as thousands
protest migrants, Nationalist 'uprising' the primer
for European civil war? By Leo Hohmann 11/12/15
Nationalism, as in anti-European
Union and anti-globalism, is sweeping through Eastern Europe and in no place is
it catching fire faster than Poland.
Upwards of 50,000 Poles were
reported out in the streets Wednesday evening, marching with flags and slogans
like “Stop Islamization” and “Great Catholic Poland” on the anniversary of
Poland’s return to independence after World War I.
There were 11 demonstrations
throughout the day in Warsaw Wednesday. Police came out in full riot gear and
there were some minor skirmishes, but no injuries reported.
“God, honor, homeland,” chanted the
protesters as they marched under a sea of red-and-white Polish flags, the Telegraph reported.
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, according to the Telegraph.
Poland’s outgoing centrist
government has agreed to accept about 7,000 refugees from Syria and Eritrea, a
plan that has angered many Poles.
Germany, by contrast is accepting at
least 1 million migrants from Syria and other countries in the Middle East and
Africa. France has agreed to take 22,000, Britain 20,000 and Spain 17,000.
Sweden has taken in more than 40,000 Middle Eastern refugees this year and
Greece 88,000, according to Inquisitr.com.
In the wake of the migrant crisis,
Poland’s anti-migrant Law and Justice Party won in a landslide election Oct.
25. A new government will be sworn in within days.
“Yesterday it was Moscow, today it’s
Brussels which takes away our freedom,” chanted one group of protesters. The
crowds gathered in front of the National Stadium where they lit flares under
the slogan “Poland for the Poles, the Poles for Poland.”
Some, such as American author Pamela
Geller, have speculated Europe could be on the brink of civil war if the
migrant crisis continues unabated and European politicians continue to hang out
the “welcome” banner in face of growing opposition from their own people.
Stories of Germans being evicted from apartment homes so migrants can be accommodated
and mounting reports of rapes in Germany and Sweden
do not bode well.
Swedish
King invites migrants to live in his palaces
The developments in Poland, and to a
certain extent Hungary, which has elected nationalist Viktor Urban as prime
minister, contrast with the politics of Sweden, which continues under leftist
rule.
King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, it
was reported Thursday, is considering letting refugees stay in his unused
palaces as the country has run out of available housing options.
The king has 16 extravagant estates
across the country, many of which he never uses, the Daily Caller reported. Margareta Thorgren, the royal
director of communication, said the royal family has taken the Syrian migrant
situation to heart and is “open to creative solutions” to solve the housing
emergency.
“The royal family is following it
and is very engaged in the issue,” Thorgren said. “The situation is such that
we need as many people as possible helping out, and the royal family has done
this by helping established organizations working on the refugee crisis.”
Letting people stay in the king and
queen’s primary residence of Drottningholm Palace is not an option. But if the
National Property Board — which technically owns the estates — is open to using
some of the unused properties, they will have a discussion, according to
Thorgren.
The annual march in Warsaw,
organized by Poland’s nationalist right, has featured rock-throwing youths and
vandalism in previous years but this year’s march was peaceful.
“I came here because I love Poland
and want to show it,” 27-year-old Piotr, who came with his fiancée, told the
Telegraph. “I came here for my grandfather, who fought in the Warsaw Uprising
(against the Nazi occupation of the Polish capital), and for his father, who
fought for independence.”
Comments
European governments bought in to
the global warming hoax and inflicted the costs on their citizens. They began
letting in Muslims who have caused nothing but problems. Now they want to open
their borders to unprecedented number of Muslims who have already proven to be
even more disruptive.
Anti-immigration candidates and
parties should put an end to this madness, but not before more damage is done.
This comes at a time when the Marxist UN, the architect and perpetrator of
these destructive policies is meeting in Paris.
I hope they get an ear full.
