EU Madness > EC insists that cultural suicide is the right thing to do

 

European Commission Blocks Attempt of Europeans

to Halt ‘Non-Western Migration’


By

The European Commission has now become an enemy of Europe. It has refused to register the “Save Europe Act,” which is an attempt, supported so far by 580,000 citizens of Europe, to end migration from “non-Western countries” — which is meant, everyone understands, to prevent more Muslims from entering Europe. More on this shameful move can be found here


EU rejects anti-mass migration citizen initiative,

saying it goes against EU values

The European Commission has refused to register the “Save Europe Act”, a European Citizens’ Initiative calling for a moratorium on new immigration from non-Western countries and a fundamental reform of the EU’s migration and asylum system.


The initiative was launched by Austrian activist Martin Sellner and Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek. Its organisers say it has already gathered more than 580,000 signatures.

The Commission ruled that the initiative failed to meet the legal requirements for registration as a European Citizens’ Initiative.

It said the proposal’s call for a moratorium on immigration from “non-Western countries”, including for study and family reunification, and its reference to the “ethnic and cultural continuity” of Europe’s “native peoples” would amount to discrimination based on race or ethnic origin.

The Commission does not believe that Europeans have a right to defend their values, their culture, their civilization, from migrants — Muslims — who do not, and cannot possibly, share those values, that culture, that civilization. It describes the attempt to keep more Muslims out as “discrimination based on race or ethnic origin.” But that is wrong: Muslims are neither a “race” nor an “ethnicity.” Islam is an ideology, like Communism or Nazism, and Europeans want to prevent the demographic conquest of their countries by those who subscribe to that ideology.

The Commission also objected to the initiative’s claim that Europe was facing a “demographic exchange” caused by non-Western and non-European migrants.

Why does the Commission object? Is it because that claim of a “demographic exchange” is false, or is it because it is true? There are now 44 million Muslims in Europe. More than a million now enter Europe each year. And while European fertility rates are, at 1.6, far below the replacement level of 2.1, Muslims in Europe have a fertility rate of 2.9. Thus, the percentage of people in Europe who are Muslim inexorably rises.

Under EU rules, a European Citizens’ Initiative must comply with the EU Treaties and the Charter of Fundamental Rights. The Commission said the Save Europe Act was “manifestly contrary” to the values of the Union and therefore could not be registered.

The most important of values is self-preservation. It is this which the European Commission refuses to consider.

The decision means that the campaign cannot use the formal European Citizens’ Initiative mechanism, which allows citizens to ask the Commission to propose legislation after collecting at least one million signatures from at least seven EU member states….

There is now a popular uprising in Europe, a demand that the European Union call a halt to “non-Western migration.” 580,000 signatures have already been gathered to support this demand. The bureaucrats in Brussels have rejected the effort. They claim that such a policy would constitute discrimination based on “race” or “ethnicity.” They are wrong. Islam is not a race, nor an ethnicity, but an ideology inimical to Western values. Now, as one of the organizers of this effort, Eva Vlaardingerbroek, has made clear, they will continue to raise hell — “see you in court” — with ever-swelling numbers of signatories to their petition. Europeans want to preserve Europe from those who would transform it. What is wrong with that?

How can the EC justify allowing the astonishing growth of an ideology that would take Europe back to the 7th century? It's madness.

In the name of race and ethnicity, they insist on allowing an ideology that is incredibly racist and completely intolerant of anyone who doesn't keep the Muslim faith, and indeed, the right version of the Muslim faith.

Widespread Economic Slowdown Across Europe with Italy Heading to ‘Zero Growth’

Eurozone’s third-largest economy, Italy, can’t afford fiscal expansion at a time when its economic growth is heading to zero, Economy Minister Giovanni Tria said. He ruled out any possible changes to the government’s budget.

Italy’s central bank and the International Monetary Fund both estimated the country’s economy would expand by 0.6 percent this year. The European Commission’s forecast was more pessimistic, at just 0.2 percent. It said Italy was facing excessive economic imbalances and the policies of its government were making matters worse, posing a threat to Eurozone partners.

“We face a widespread slowdown in growth across Europe, and in Italy we are headed for zero” growth, Tria said at a conference in Florence. “Certainly we don’t have the room for expansionary measures,” he added.

Rome targets a fiscal deficit of 2.04 percent of gross domestic product this year, while analysts say the figure may be higher. In the fourth quarter of 2018, Italy plunged into technical recession as the economy contracted. At the moment, public debt sits at €2.3 trillion (US$2.6 trillion), or 131 percent of Italy’s GDP, which is way above the 60 percent EU ceiling.

According to Tria, Italian manufacturing exports suffered as a consequence of the slowing German economy. Europe’s leading economy, Germany, is struggling due to significantly weaker demand for its exports.

Italy’s Eurosceptic coalition government of the 5-Star Movement and the League parties lowered the deficit target after a protracted tussle with the European Commission. Rome has been clashing with Brussels over its big-spending budget in the past few months.

Last Thursday, Claudio Borghi, a leading member of the League party, said the Italian government could steeply raise the deficit next year to avoid hiking value-added tax.

European Commission President Jean-Claude Junker on Monday mocked the country’s government coalition. Junker said Brussels had “foreseen” that Italy’s economic growth would not be as outstanding as announced, and that he “isn’t sure” the country will crawl out of the financial crisis it plunged into more than 10 years ago.

One wonders how much American sanctions are affecting Germany's exports? Perhaps it is time for the rest of the world to stop supporting the myriad sanctions with which America is bullying the rest of the world, most of which are for American economic gain, not political reasons.

Canada is suffering from the loss of billions of dollars in the canola market to China because we arrested Huawei's CFO for violating an American sanction. IMHO that was a huge mistake that should never have happened. 

The rest of the world needs to tell President Trump that American sanctions are America's problem, not a global problem.

Corruption is Everywhere - But in the Upper Echelons of the EC?

EC reacts to news of criminal file opened on Frans Timmermans: Romanian authorities have no jurisdiction
Posted by: Victor Lupu  in POLITICS, TOP NEWS 


European Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas has said on Thursday, referring to the file opened with the special section for investigating offenses in the justice system against EC Vice-President Frans Timmermans (photo) and European Commissioner Vera Jourova , that Romanian authorities have no jurisdiction on such issues, ziare.com informs.

“The European Commission has learned from the press that the Romanian authorities have launched a criminal investigation against several officials of the Commission, for their activity. Although we do not comment on national judicial matters, we would like to remind the Romanian authorities they have no jurisdiction in such matters. All European Commission officials, in official positions, are subjects to the Court of Justice of the European Union and are under the protection of the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities in the Treaties, accepted by all Member States, including Romania. We should remind that the EC representatives have expressed yesterday serious concerns on the situation of the rule of law in Romania,” Margaritis Schinas said.

On Wednesday reports said that prosecutor Adina Florea has registered a criminal file on the name of Frans Timmermans, First Vice-President of the European Commission, with the special section for investigating offenses in the justice system, following a complaint filed by a website close to PSD – ‘Lumea justitiei’ (luju.ro), digi24.ro informed.

The section has received a criminal complaint from Lumea justitiei (luju.ro) concerning several high ranking European and Romanian officials: Frans Timmermans, First Vice-President of the European Commission; Vera Jourova, European commissioner for Justice; Augustin Lazar, Prosecutor General of Romania and Angela Cristea, the head of the EC Representation in Romania.

The complaint also targets those who have edited the latest Cooperation and Verification Mechanism (CVM) report released on November 13, 2018.

All of them should be summoned for hearings, luju.ro reads. According to the source, they are charged with setting up an organized criminal group, abuse of office, forgery and release of false information. The denouncement was filed on January 30, 2019.

Luju.ro reads that the European officials could be investigated by the special section, as the Criminal Code, article 10, paragraph (1) reads that ‘the Romanian criminal law is enforced for offenses committed abroad by a foreign citizen or by a person without citizenship, against the Romanian state, against a Romanian citizen or against Romanian legal persons.’

Is EC protecting its authority, or are the protecting criminals?
