Mass Migration is the Actual Danger Threatening Europe

The migration pact adopted in Brussels in the last days of the year will make everyday life in the western part of the continent even worse and more dangerous.

They showed their strength in France last summer, when major cities were in flames for days. Now, on New Year's Eve, French, German, Belgian - the list is long - politicians feared their cities would be set ablaze again - for fun, out of anger, contempt or simply because the perpetrators can. These occupiers are increasingly often openly saying that they consider Western Europe as their own property and they see the indigenous people living there as prey, whose daughters and wives can be gang-raped with impunity as independent, sensitized courts will acquit them anyway. 

The wave of protests in the West following Hamas's brutal attack on Israel showed what the Islamic radicals living there really think about the law and order, culture and historical traditions of the countries and people - Jews, Christians and quite simply the people of Europe - that took them in and support them.

The Western leftist-liberal elite still thinks that deploying tens of thousands of armed officers out onto the streets for a few days will solve the problem. 2023 has shown that this has long been untrue. Yet, they are ramping up their migration frenzy and want to impose it on Central Europe by force. "May the neighbor's cow die, too" the desperate farmer wishes [reference to a Hungarian expression of wishing suffering on others if I am suffering - ed] . That's how they act.

Furthermore, on top of the situation they created with their misguided policies, they are even playing with the fire of war. These politicians, who see themselves as educated, sophisticated and truly European, are angrily shaking their fists at Russia. They have depleted their armies' stores, as well as their countries' wallets. They are giving everything to Ukraine in a war that is completely antithetical to Europe's interests and utterly pointless for us, while deluding their citizens into believing that it is all in their interests. 

That it is Ukrainian soldiers who are stopping the Russian army, that is already mobilizing against the West. True, they are also claiming that Russia has been weakened under the weight of purportedly tough Western sanctions packages. In their deceptive, politically motivated predictions to their secret services, Russia is constantly falling apart, its people are rebelling against Putin, who is terminally ill and dies at least once a month. But, at the same time, Moscow must be feared, because it will inundate Europe. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers are allegedly dying on the front lines and their weapons are running out.

In a word, this infinitely sophisticated Western elite acts as if they had never let in the actual enemy. 

This radical Islamist mass of millions is no longer outside our walls, but has already set up its positions inside our cities. They are in the left-wing political parties, in education, in the economy and even within the armed forces. And their numbers are practically inexhaustible, as they keep arriving by land and sea. This is the real danger in Europe in the new year. 

Substantive negotiations with the Russians should start as soon as possible to bring the war to an end as quickly as possible. Otherwise, we can fear that millions of migrants from Africa and Asia will be released onto our continent through a few destabilization operations acquired from America. That would have truly tragic consequences.

Unfortunately, I can't predict what will happen in 2024, but I do know that whatever difficult times come, we have to persevere and protect ourselves. It was so nice to see how peacefully and joyfully we celebrated New Year's in Budapest and in the countryside, without the need for deploying tens of thousands of police and soldiers. This is our value; if we preserve it, there can be no great harm. That I can predict.
