In Rome, Thousands March Demanding Remigration


In Rome, thousands of people from all over the country gathered to march against immigration, and for remigration — that is, deporting from the country immigrants, by which everyone understood the protesters to mean immigrants  from Muslim lands. Migrants in Italy who were illegal, or legal but had proved themselves incapable of integrating into the larger society should, according to the protesters, be sent back to their countries of origin. More on this march, similar to others occurring elsewhere in Europe, can be found here.


Italy: Thousands of protesters demand remigration in Rome

A demonstration of several thousand people took place in Rome on Saturday to advocate for remigration and stricter controls on immigration.

Coming from various regions across Italy, a crowd of roughly 3,000 individuals paraded through the nation’s capital behind a prominent sign declaring “Remigration and Recapture,“ a slogan used to call for the mandatory deportation of migrants back to their countries of origin.

The march drew participation from various right-wing organizations, including Casapound.

According to Luca Marsella, a spokesman for Casapound, their objective is clear. “We want to throw out the illegal immigrants because they shouldn’t be here.”

He further noted that their demands extend beyond those without legal status, adding, “And because we are not politically correct, we also say that we want to send home the legal immigrants who have obviously not adapted or integrated.”

Concurrently, Rome hosted the inaugural party congress for Futuro Nazionale (National Future), a newly established right-wing political group organized by Roberto Vannacci, a former general who now serves as an MEP….

Futuro Nazionale is a brand-new party, but it has come out of nowhere to now command close to 5% of the electorate. Its leader, Roberto Vannacci, attracts large crowds whenever he appears. Some analysts speculate that in the next election, Giorgia Meloni may have to agree to sharing power with Futuro Nazionale, which would require her hardline policy on migration to become even harder.

This march in Rome is one of the anti-immigrant marches that have been taking place recently across Europe. In London, a month ago, a “Unite the Kingdom” march that the anti-Muslim activist Tommy Robinson organized drew more than 50,000 people; it took place at the same time as a pro-Palestinian march, which attracted only 20,000 people. And in Belfast, following a Sudanese Muslim’s attack on an Irishman whose head he tried to saw off, protesters staged violent marches in the streets, calling for “foreigners get out.” These marches are sure to spread in size and frequency, as the long-suffering peoples of Europe realize that such street protests must be staged in order to pressure their political elites to halt Muslim immigration and began the remigration of those already inside their countries.





France: Hundreds of riot officers deployed to beaches to stop illegal migrants from crossing to UK


Could something authentic be finally happening to try to stop illegal migrants, mostly Muslims originating in Africa and the Middle East, from invading the UK? There has been over a decade of steady invasion, with nothing done to stop it. UK leaders didn’t want to be deemed “Islamophobic.”

At the end of May, Illegal boat migrants started a new strategy of using yachts to sail up waterways to invade rural villages.

How many foreign countries are persecuted Christians invading? Christians generally respect the rule of law. While Muslims have been engaged in the hijrah, however, the charge of “Islamophobia” was used at every turn in response to any criticism of high migrant crime rates, jihad attacks and Muslim rape gangs. 

Leftist politicians never cared about their citizens to begin with. They ruined their economies and swung open their borders. But now their popular support is declining, as voters look to the right for sanity. Britons may have had enough of the escalating crime and terror threats. 

The deployment of riot officers at this late date is the latest skirmish in the left’s dog fight to hold on to power.

Migrant crisis: Hundreds of riot officers deployed to French beaches to track down illegals and stop small boat crossings

by Fintan Starkey, GB News, June 17, 2026:

Two new specialist units have been set up on French beaches to tackle illegal migrants and people smugglers trying to reach British shores.

As part of the deal between France and the UK, a dedicated riot unit is now operational in Northern France to prevent small boat crossings and track down illegal migrants, as well as the Compagnie de Marche. 

The new deployment marks a continued effort from countries to tackle the migrant crisis, with dozens of boats and engines seized in Germany, preventing more than 2000 from making their way to British shores.

Those raids were completed as part of a joint effort from the National Crime Agency as well as the German Federal Police, and the French National Police’s people-smuggling units. 

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said in a statement: “Working in lockstep with our closest partners is the only way to make real progress in tackling the shared challenge of illegal migration.

Seriously, the only way?  Making illegal immigrants ineligible for benefits worked wonders in Hungary. 

“These elite units are just one element of the landmark deal between our countries that is taking our collaboration to the next level.

“Operations like this meant that almost half of all attempted crossings were halted by the French last month – so we’re boosting them further to continue to drive down crossings.”

Compagnie de Marche officers will work alongside drone, plane and camera surveillance systems to break up launch attempts, seize equipment, and stop migrants before they reach the Channel to cross to the UK….

Europe’s leading human rights body keeps Muslim on advisory panel after he refuses to condemn honor killings


Eventually, the contradiction will become obvious to everyone: Western leftists claim to be concerned about women’s rights, and yet they find a kinship with adherents of a religion that advises men to beat women from whom they “fear disobedience” (Qur’an 4:34), and that sanctions honor killing, which is the killing of wives or daughters who are considered to have besmirched in some way the family’s honor, by choosing to live in the Western fashion, or by rejecting an arranged marriage, or some other misbehavior of that kind. The leftists can’t condemn such things without being “Islamophobic,” and so they accept absurd situations such as this one. Ruslan Kutayev won’t condemn honor murders or stand up for women fleeing violence in Chechnya, but he remains on Russian dissident advisory panel of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) because to remove him would be “Islamophobic.”

PACE Keeps Chechen Dissident on Advisory Panel After LGBTQ+ and ‘Honor Killing’ Comments

Moscow Times, May 28, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Europe’s leading human rights body decided Wednesday not to remove a Chechen member of its Russian dissident advisory panel after earlier suspending him from his post over comments he made about LGBTQ+ people and so-called “honor killings” in the North Caucasus.

Ruslan Kutayev is one of five representatives of Russia’s Indigenous peoples and national minorities serving on the 15-member Platform for Dialogue with Russian Democratic Forces at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).

In April, Kutayev stirred controversy when he said in an interview with journalists that he had “no desire to look into” the issue of women and LGBTQ+ people fleeing violence in Chechnya. He also refused to condemn so-called “honor killings,” a practice sometimes used to justify the murder of relatives perceived to have brought shame to the family.

PACE President Petra Bayr later said that she decided to suspend Kutayev’s membership in the Platform for Dialogue with Russian Democratic Forces after receiving “several complaints” about his adherence to the assembly’s rules.

Kutayev later clarified that he does not condone violence and was instead expressing attitudes within Chechen society as a whole….
