Now that Salvini’s gone, the EU wastes no time…
…in pushing for more “migrants”:
The [new] Franco-Italian migrant pact is the latest example of top European elites pushing their open-door immigration policy without bothering to consult the elected governments of the EU member states. In 2015, Merkel signed an agreement with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, agreeing to take in hundreds and thousands of migrants each year from Turkey’s refugee camps and settling them across Europe. According to Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, the direct intake of migrants from Turkey under Chancellor Merkel’s plan could be as high as half a million per year.
With Salvini out of office [in Italy], the EU is wasting no time in steamrolling its open borders agenda in the Mediterranean, opening up the continent for millions of illegal migrants from Arab North Africa and the Middle East. As the EU, driven by Macron and Merkel, pushes ahead with its project of reshaping Europe through mass immigration, Europe’s ruling elite do not see any need to consult their electorates. Instead, they apparently believe in flooding Europe with illegal immigrants and creating irreversible facts on the ground.
That was one of my first thoughts. Even if Salvini, or a government similar to his, comes back into power in Italy, there will probably be no way to deport those who have arrived under this new plan. The only thing that can happen is that Italy can pull out of its pact with France.
Here’s something about Salvini’s history:
The announcement comes just weeks after Interior Minister Matteo Salvini’s right-wing Liga party dropped out of the ruling coalition in Rome. Under Salvini’s reign, the country had shuttered its ports for EU-backed ‘rescue’ boats carrying migrants from North Africa, a move bitterly opposed by France and Germany. Salvini’s Liga came to power in June 2018 after forming a coalition government with the left-wing 5-Star party.
There’s that parliamentary coalition thing that can be so hard for Americans to understand. Here’s an explanation for what happened in the political sense. Hint: it didn’t involve the voters having a say in a new election. It involved those coalitions.
Here’s the most important part, which is a prediction:
And in all likelihood, all [Salvini] would have to do is sit back and await his turn, as the temporary Five Star-Democratic Party [composed of Salvini’s disparate opponents who managed to form a coalition against him] tie up erodes gradually.
The alliance between the two longstanding foes has looked dysfunctional from the start with clear fissures apparent from early in the negotiations.
Their loose 26-point joint programme will almost certainly be unable to compensate for the plethora of disagreements that will inevitably surface once they get down to the business of government.
All the while, Salvini will be on a war footing, whipping up a blizzard across the land in preparation for the inescapable general election. And that’s where Salvini will flourish.
The more I learn about European politics, the more ours looks good in comparison. Relatively speaking, that is.
These EU leaders are dead set on destroying their countries. All their thought is bent on that one goal.
There are only two outcomes.
If the native Europeans do nothing, Europe is over.
If the native Europeans resist BAMN, Europe could recover… but it would be a bloody affair.
There is no good path, and people need to stop looking for one.
You need to understand how much more fractured European countries are politically. It’s not their systems that are the problem.
Italy is deeply divided between North and South. Between conservative Catholics and liberals. It still has sizable pockets of actual Fascism and real Marxism. There is massive corruption,both economically and politically, with crime reaching deep into government.
It is effectively ungovernable, which is why its governments last about two years on average — and have done for seventy years.
The system has no part in it. If they went to the US system they’d be exactly the same. There would be ten parties in Congress and they’d always being having to work with coalitions.
The German government is the same. Even if the Greens are not in the coalition, any disagreements between coalition members means that they pay far too much attention to Green ideas like closing nuclear power plants. Of course, the media only reports the dangers of nuclear power, GMOs, and all the poor kids drowning in the Mediteranean. The latest climate change thing is to require all houses to get rid of oil heating by 2030, among other garbage. When they form coalitions, each party insists on their most extreme issues and a minister position so they can enforce them or at least block other ideas. German did OK when there were only 3 parties, with the FDP switching back and forth between the 2 major parties. When Joschka Fischer got the Greens into parliament, it opened the way for even more parties, which now include the AfD and the Linke (neocommies). Why vote if you don’t know where your vote will try to take the country.
I take some consolation in the fact that Western Europe is more suicidal than the USA, at least for now.

“American democracy is the worst political system in the world, except for all the others.”
Or as Churchill said it, “Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.”

Idiots ignorant of history, playing with gasoline and matches.
May they find their lamppost.
I can’t help but wonder: in their fevered imaginations, exactly what sort of future do the “EU leaders” think they’re bringing Europe?
Italy should send ALL of its migrants to France & Germany, until the EU’s new dictates on migrant spreading have been officially dictated. By the euroDicts, those euroCrats who long to be dictators.
The EuroFunds, slush money for bureaucrats to buy off opposition with gov’t paid for benefits, can keep the EU going for quite a few more years. But the anti-immigrant parties will become stronger and stronger, following Hungary’s Orban and the nationalists in Poland. Slovakia remains anti-immigrant & anti-Muslim. I doubt that the Czechs, who successfully did post-WW II ethnic cleansing of those Sudeten German, will be keen to accept hundreds of thousands of migrants.
I wouldn’t be surprised if “# of migrants” allowed becomes a referendum issue for various countries that allow referendums.
