Poland’s anti-migrant party doubles its support
Poland’s Law and Justice party (PiS) attracts almost double the number of supporters compared to its nearest rival, according to pollster Estymator.
Published: November 1, 2017, 10:01 am
The poll revealed that PiS enjoy the support of 42.8 percent of Poland’s voters, nearly double that of the opposition party, Civic Platform (PO), currently polling at only 22.2 percent
If an election were held today, PiS would win 248 seats, an increase from the 236 they won in 2015, giving them an absolute majority in the Polish parliament, known as the Sejm.
The poll also suggests that the Eurosceptic, anti-establishment Kukiz party would win 9.1 percent of the vote, or some 43 MPs.
Polish Prime Minister, Beata Szydło, is boasting a record in support after standing firm against the EU’s bullying tactics, after Brussels tried to force the country to take in a quota of migrants by means of a lawsuit.
Seasonally adjusted unemployment in Poland fell to 4.6 percent in September from 4.7 percent in August, according to European statistics office Eurostat. The unemployment rate in the EU as a whole was 7.5 percent in September, double that of Poland.
“This remains the lowest rate recorded in the EU28 since November 2008,” Eurostat added, referring to the 28 countries in the European Union. Poland’s Central Statistical Office (GUS), which uses a different methodology to Eurostat, said last week that joblessness in Poland fell to a new low of 6.8 percent in September.
Civic Platform, which is a pro-European party, has suffered a fall from grace, with the Poles regarding the party as an elite clique of Europhiles, particularly because of their relationship with president of the European Council, Donald Tusk. Tusk, a former Polish premier, won a second term as European Council president, despite bitter opposition from Poland.
Brussels has already been threatening to trigger Article 7 of the EU treaty, a legal process which could suspend the country’s voting rights.
Poland is currently looking into allegations of negligence in Tusk’s handling of an investigation into a plane crash in 2010. The crash killed many high-ranking Polish officials, including then-president Lech Kaczynski, brother of the head of the Law and Justice party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski.
Tusk is alleged to have acted against Polish interests by applying an annex to the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation in a probe into the 2010 presidential plane crash, causing a Polish investigation to be limited as a result.
Meanwhile Poles living in other EU countries face many more difficulties and hardships than migrants: Half of the homeless in Berlin are Polish.
Berlin city authorities and charity organisations noted that the homeless rough sleepers in Germany were not entitled to any help from the state. They may only apply for unemployment benefits after five years of living in the country.
But poor language skills, lack of personal documents and insufficient knowledge keep them from obtaining any form of assistance.
In recent years, citizens from Central and Eastern Europe have doubled the number of homeless in Berlin roughly from 3000 to 6000 people, although the exact numbers are unknown, Ortrud Wohlwend, from the Berlin-based Stadtmission organisation told German broadcaster, Deutsche Welle.

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."
