Le Pen refused entry to camp as migrants swarm back to Calais
On Wednesday, the National Front leader, Marine Le Pen was refused entry into a migrant camp outside Dunkirk, near Calais.
Published: January 27, 2017, 6:51 am
Le Pen was barred from entering because the leftist pro-immigration mayor is apparently afraid of what the FN leader might encounter.
The camp has sprung up not far from the notorious Jungle in Calais. The Jungle was demolished by authorities recently, but the migrant problem remains as immigrants who had been moved away at great cost to French taxpayers, have returned to the area once again.
Damien Careme, the local mayor and Ecological-Green Party (EELV) member, tweeted that Le Pen had been turned away because she “dared to visit”. Careme tried to justify the cover-up by saying: “I am the one who denied Marine Le Pen entry to the Grande-Synthe refugee camp – she had the audacity to show up without prior warning!” adding, “humanity is a value that she ignores”.
Le Pen arrived at the camp, run by charity Utopia 56, unannounced. Had she made prior arrangements, she would not have seen the real state of the camp, she says. “They only show you what they want to show you”, she told French broadcaster BFMTV.
On Twitter Le Pen remarked about the incident “This is democracy in France: only pro-immigrant officials are allowed to visit migrant camps!” She argued that if the visit had been announced beforehand, she would have been given a very different tour.
After being refused entry, Le Pen held a press conference outside the migrant camp: “We tell immigrants that we don’t want them to come to France, but at the same time, we encourage the ones that are here to stay.”
The FN leader called on the authorities to stop providing migrants with “false hope” by sending mixed signals, according to The Express.
“We are facilitating their entry into the UK by setting up camps near the border”. She later tweeted: “Calais is a martyred town that has been crushed by the migrant crisis. Immigrants are returning to Calais; the situation there has become intolerable. We must take back control of our borders.”
The French government has failed to stop the influx of asylum seekers with their incoherent policy, Le Pen said.
Patricia Chagnon, a French municipal councilor and member of the National Front, told RT that by refusing access to the camp for one of the major presidential hopefuls, the French authorities were infringing on democracy.
“She is a candidate for the presidential elections, she wants to have a first-hand experience and sight of how the life is inside this camp. And we can only be extremely concerned about the fact that she was not able to go inside,” Chagnon added.
While a French presidential frontrunner is being barred from entering a migrant camp in her own country, former American Baywatch star Pamela Anderson was recently given a carefully choreographed “tour” of the Grand Synthe.
Anderson’s trip was organised by animal rights activists Peta France. “I am here in Calais helping asylum seekers deserving of protection,” Anderson declared, repeating the message the leftists are keen to spread.

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.
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.

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 Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
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.

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."
