Emmanuel Macron is today the perfect image of impotence as France burns, as a prelude to other foreseeable fires in many other corners of Europe.
It is the well-deserved impotence of the European politicians of the social-democratic consensus of the lie, of the irresponsibility and the criminal recklessness that is the entire immigration policy of the past decades, which had its catastrophic peak in that call for open borders that Merkel made in 2015.
The socialist sociologist Giovanni Sartori warned 25 years ago that Europe was heading for catastrophe because unassimilable immigration would blow up in its heart. It could have been avoided.
By closing the external borders, with a warning to all countries of origin that no one who arrived illegally could ever regularize their situation, and with mass, forceful and effective deportations. Sweden is now preparing measures after sinking into the terrible effects of the mistakes of the past, with cities taken over by gangs of outlaws from the Horn of Africa.
Common sense has been defeated again and again. The ideological agenda of the forces of the social-democratic consensus, which see in immigration one of the ways to dissolve the European nations and their identities in order to create a multicultural super-space, has prevailed.
Well, there you have it: the multicultural space of terror and of the impotence of the rulers. Incapable of protecting the life, security and property of the French, the pitiful President Macron begs the worst barbarians to be so kind as not to burn all of France. Meanwhile in Brussels, Macron, Scholz, Sánchez, Von der Leyen and the whole troop guilty of these subversions try to force others to fall into the same trap and betray their nations.
But they are going to have a hard time of it. Viktor Orbán and Tadeusz Morawiecki announced to their colleagues in the European Union that they refuse and will flatly refuse to accept mandatory distributions of immigrants, which would create in Poland and Hungary the conditions for the scenes of cars, shops and official buildings burning to be repeated there.
They are not going to share the fate of the Western politicians who, with their blindness, have led their countries to the brink of cultural civil war. The one that is already arriving by way of France, in view of the permanent aggression of a non-integrable immigration that never identifies with the host country, intensely criminal, always a fifth column of a hostile religion, with a radical parasitic and invasive will and an ever-greater readiness for violence.
While Paris burns, the cities of Warsaw and Budapest enjoy a life of absolute calm with maximum security; they have minimal crime, much prosperity and social cohesion, much social trust and zero African and Muslim immigration. That is how they want to keep it.
Their proposal, like that of all the national forces within the European Parliament in the group of Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), is the closing of the European Union’s external borders and the expulsion of all illegal immigrants who cannot justify a right to remain. The expulsions have to be effective and swift, with clear rules for the countries of origin, which must accept all their compatriots slated for deportation if they want to keep receiving European aid.
French cities are burning because of the explosion of violence in reaction to the death of a delinquent from gunshots by a police officer. Young people of sub-Saharan African immigrant origin, but also members of the Maghrebi communities, have thrown themselves into destruction, looting and arson across the whole of France. And all Macron can think of is to blame social networks for the fact that tens of millions of French people see their daily life interrupted and their personal and property integrity threatened by a brutal display of violence.
Macron, who in his day accused Marine Le Pen of wanting to provoke a civil war for seeking to impose law and order in French cities, finds that he has the civil war set up. And he has to see that the French authorities have lost real control, not only permanently over many neighborhoods in more and more cities, but over entire cities whenever the criminal immigrant gangs so wish. And the only thing that occurs to him is to order the arrest of the police officer who fired the shots, thereby proving the demonstrators right.
The police are fed up, and not only in France, of being the scapegoat of politicians incapable of guaranteeing the security and the life of European citizens against hordes of young immigrants of the first, second or third generation, it makes no difference, all with the same degree of readiness for violence and hatred of everything that symbolizes the country that took them in and supports them. Let us put our foot down before the dystopia of merciless racial war becomes reality across Europe.
