The League questions minister on relocations

Migrant relocations are increasingly at the center of the immigration debate: the League says it is ready to present a question to Ministers Lamorgese, with League members Molteni and Candiani expressing their doubts about the data provided to date by the Interior Ministry.

    The case concerning relocations have become another political hot potato, with reference to the mechanism of redistribution to other European countries – the quota of migrants each should take of those that had landed in Italy.

    Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese has always made this instrument her strong point. Already from the first days of work at the Interior Ministry, where the former prefect of Milan arrived after the establishment of the Conte II government in early September, Lamorgese focused all her attention on relocations.

    This is because from Berlin, the German political class had arrived to help the new Italian executive on a delicate issue such as immigration. But in fact, the organisation of a summit by the Germans, that of September 23 in Malta, has not yielded the expected results.

    On the contrary, from that meeting, held between the interior ministers of Malta, Italy, Germany, France and Finland, with the representative of Helsinki present as president of the EU, nothing more than a draft appeared, completely unrelated to the set objectives.

    Instead, participants started talking about an automatic and mandatory mechanism for relocations, but everything was then put to the judgment of the EU interior ministers. And in the Council of 8 October last, only resounding problems were heard from the European side, hence the failure of the Malta summit.

    And yet, Lamorgese has continued to insist on the “success” of the meeting held in Valletta in September. The interior minister has repeatedly talked about Malta’s “historic turning point” to justify the release of data from non-governmental organisation ships entering Italy.

    In fact, Luciana Lamorgese said that currently, unlike before, as soon as a NGO vessel enters the country, Europe immediately shows solidarity for relocations.

    But the numbers , which should support the vision of the occupant of the Interior Ministry, contradict this state of affairs: the relocations have not increased decisively compared to the past years, and at the same time it is good to point out that with the ministries Minniti and Salvini, quotas were established for relocation to other European countries too.

    Moreover – and here the political bias is evident – doubts about the actual relocation of migrants that had arrived in recent months have been advanced by the League: “Lamorgese talks about relocations that work. Evidently it refers to the immigrants that Germany has announced to have sent back to Italy with six charter flights from October to today,” Senator Stefano Candiani and Deputy Nicola Molteni, both undersecretary of the former executive, declared in a press release .

    “We are ready to present a question: is it not that the immigrants that have landed in Italy and that some European countries have said they want to welcome, are real only on paper? How many were actually transferred? Lamorgese speaks of 170 transfers by the end of the year: but are they part of the immigrants who have arrived in the last few months or are they part of the agreements signed by Salvini?”

    “For now, the only certain result of Minister Lamorgese is the increase in landings: in September 2 498 against the 947 of September 2018, to October 2 017 against the 1 007 of October 2018, to November 1 232 against the 980 of November 2019,” concluded Candiano and Molteni.

    DESTRUCTIVE HAILSTORMS will become more frequent and violent with increasingly larger hail, predicted solar researcher Valentina Zharkova back in 2019 when she stated that it's one of many signs of an impending Grand Solar Minimum. This is exactly what we have witnessed this year in both Europe and the world. Here is the German town of Benediktbeuern in Bavaria after a hailstorm on August 26th. Almost all rooftops and cars were damaged. The centuries-old church and monastery were damaged for the first time ever. Interestingly, the monastery was rebuilt in 1699 during the Maunder Minimum. Combined with heavy rainfall, extreme weather will devastate a significant portion of our food production. For instance, heavy rainfall destroyed a quarter of all crops in Greece in just two days in September. However, mainstream media remains silent. Photo: X @safe0007/Sandor Feher

    NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s

    CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.

    NATIONALIST COLLABORATION TAKES SHAPE. Six parties met in Budapest on August 26th to sign a joint declaration confirming the friendship and political unity among the parties. The goal is to either form a new group in the European Parliament after the EU elections in June next year or to reconstitute the existing Identity and Democracy (ID) group with the new parties.

    European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections

    EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

    Turkey Believes Sweden Hasn’t Done Enough

    Sweden will have to wait a bit longer for NATO membership, according to Turkey's Justice Minister Jilmaz Tunc. First, Sweden must extradite the "terrorists" Turkey wants and stop the desecration of the Quran.

    Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter

    The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.

The first of the two conference days began with a strong program speech by the party's male spokesperson. Subsequently, party officials were elected and motions were addressed. The second day was entirely devoted to candidate selection and positioning for the EU election in June next year. Screenshot: AfD on Facebook

    Strong Confidence in German AfD

    Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.

    Maximilian Krah is one of the AfD politicians who is singled out as an ethnonationalist, as he has stated that there is a distinction between ethnic Germans and immigrants who have obtained German citizenship. Krah is a Member of the European Parliament and AfD's top candidate for the upcoming European Union election next year. Still image: AfD on Facebook

    The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy

    The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."

    FvD was quick to support the protests against covid restrictions. Today, the party also stands behind the farmers protests against the governments’ plans to close a big portion of the farms in the country for the sake of “climate”. The picture is from a protest against covid restrictions in Amsterdam in January of last year. Photo: Wion

    The Ursula von der Leyen Affair

    After a criminal complaint in Belgium against the President of the European Commission, the so-called SMS-case, now takes a new turn. The judge responsible for the investigation will likely gain access to the secret messages exchanged between Ursula von der Leyen and Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, at least if they haven't been deleted.

    Publisher of Unique Literature Worldwide Blocked by International Distributor

    Arktos has distinguished itself by publishing groundbreaking philosophers and social critics. Now, the publisher's international distributor has abruptly terminated the cooperation, and more than 400 already printed titles cannot reach their audience. There is strong evidence that the distributor has been under pressure, something that has also happened in Sweden. We have spoken with Arktos founder Daniel Friberg about the ongoing struggle for freedom of speech in a shrinking cultural corridor.
