Orban: ‘The Hungarian model works’
Hungarian president Viktor Orban told an EU meeting in Sweden that the Hungarian model works and that he has no intention of changing it.

He pointed to Hungarian policies of full employment and low immigration, both key factors to the country’s success, while dismissing the EU’s insistence that Hungary should take in thousands more migrants.
Orban told an EU summit in Gothenburg this week that each country should manage their own affairs and “we Hungarians do not intend to replace our own model either”.
Viktor Orban is polling at 61 percent, with his Fidesz party the favorite in next year’s vote, while Germany’s open-border enthusiast Angela Merkel, has slipped in the polls to 29 percent.
“The most important danger is the debate between globalists and nations,” Orban had told a conference of Hungarian diaspora in Budapest earlier. “Europe has decided that it can step into a post-Christian and post-nation world.”
Immigration policy will be a key factor shaping the vote, said Orban. Hungary, together with Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, remain largely homogeneous, and have all rejected mandatory EU quotas for housing immigrants. Orban noted that common ground with the next Austrian government in EU debates will also be “easy”.
Hungary does not believe immigration will solve its demographic problems of an aging population and a looming labor shortage, Orban had told Bloomberg news earlier. Instead, family-friendly policies to increase the population, make more sense, he said.
It has meanwhile been estimated that migrants could set the German economy back by more than a trillion euro.
Financial economist Bernd Raffelhüschen warned that Germany’s overall debt currently stands at €6.2 trillion. The long term costs of the original migrant crisis totals some €878 billion, but a “second generation” of migants struggling to integrate could push the cost up further.
Raffelhüschen said migrants pay less into the social security system than native Germans during their lifetime, and foreigners have contributed towards a negative fiscal balance.
Even though Germans received higher pensions – since on average they had contributed more during their lifetime – the state still profits more from Germans than from foreigners.
Last year, 2.1 million immigrants entered the country, more than half of them refugees. The economist said only a controlled immigration system to limit the flow of migrants could help to solve Germany’s economic problems.
“Germany can’t afford uncontrolled immigration permanently,” according to Raffelhüschen. “Politicians now have to ensure the best possible integration to at least curb the costs partly.”
The foundation Marktwirschaft also believes Germany is not profiting from the tidal wave of migrants.
Foundation chairman Michael Eilfort noted: ”Uncontrolled migration doesn’t bring the country fiscal return, but will cost the country money long-term.”
A similar study conducted by Denmark’s Ministry of Finance concluded that in 2014, immigrants and their descendants cost Danish taxpayers at net loss of 28 billion Crowns per year,” according to the National Economics Editorial.
“Furthermore, when Western immigrants were removed from the equation, the net cost rose to 33kr billion.”
In comparison, ethnic Danes contributed a surplus of $84 billion in 2014. The data in the report “showed conclusively that immigration has been an economic disaster for Denmark.”
The report finally states: “In fact, when accounting for population, Muslim immigrants to Denmark are over-represented in mental health facilities by 1 300 percent.
“The takeaway point is that non-Western immigration has not benefited Denmark economically, nor has immigration benefited Germany — despite what open-borders advocates claim.”
As heads of state arrived at the EU summit in Gothenburg, large parts of the city were closed down. Accommodation, travelers and business owners were affected by one of the largest EU policy summits in modern times.
“This may cost companies between 50-100 million,” Johan Trouvé, CEO of the West Sweden Chamber of Commerce, told Aftonbladet.
The meeting, held in the Eriksberg Hall at Hisingen, is surrounded by a massive security detail that affects large parts of central Gothenburg. At a press conference on Tuesday, Klas Friberg, police chief of region, called it one of the “greatest deployments of modern times”.

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

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."
