AfD leader’s Hungary invitation shows erosion of German far-right party’s isolation
An endorsement from Elon Musk, €5 million in financial donations this year alone, and now an invitation to meet Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán: once isolated, the hard-right Alternative for Germany has a growing number of friends.
Orbán, whose anti-immigration stance and calls for restoration of Europe’s energy relationship with Russia make him an ideological match for the nativist AfD, on Monday announced party leader Alice Weidel’s visit to Hungary on social media.
“Berlin has always been a city of walls. It’s time to tear another one down,” Orbán said on X.
Orbán told Switzerland’s Neue Zuercher Zeitung that the initiative had come from Weidel herself.
“The AfD could get 20 per cent of the vote (in Germany’s February 23 national election). If its head wants to talk to me, why should I say no?” the newspaper quoted him as saying in an interview.
Despite their ideological closeness, Orbán has hitherto been careful to keep his distance from the AfD, with officials saying he did not want to antagonise mainstream German parties for whom the AfD is anathema. Germany’s security services monitor the AfD on suspicion of being “right-wing extremist”.
But the return to the White House of Donald Trump, the preferred candidate of both Orbán and the AfD, and the party’s growing poll strength within Germany, appear to have shifted the calculus that in the past made many reluctant to have public contact with the party.
Weidel’s party shares Orbán’s desire to rebuild Europe’s relations with Russia despite the ongoing Ukraine war as well as his strong antipathy to immigration, especially from Muslim countries.
On Monday the German parliament disclosed that the AfD had received a €2.3 million donation on February 1, its largest ever, from a far-right Austrian politician. That followed two separate donations in January from German businessmen totalling almost €2.5 million .
Each was individually larger than the total in declared donations that the party received in any given year of its 10-year history.
Musk, the world’s richest man who is now leading efforts to slim down the US federal government, endorsed the AfD before Trump’s January 20 inauguration.
“Only the AfD can save Germany,” Musk wrote on X, his social media platform. He later hosted Weidel for an hour-long conversation.
The AfD is currently polling second in Germany’s election race, behind Friedrich Merz’s conservative bloc, though it has little chance of winning power for as long as the other parties continue to rule out inviting it for coalition talks.
That so-called “firewall” suffered a dent last week when, for the first time in postwar German history, a parliamentary motion was passed thanks to the votes of a far-right party. This prompted nationwide protests and resignations from Merz’s party, which had submitted and backed the motion on migration.
Refugees paid more than Germans? Federal body demands higher than statutory pay for foreigners
A decision by the Federal Employment Agency to mandate higher wages for two refugees than for their German colleagues has sparked outrage and debate over fairness in Germany’s labor market.
Schwäbische Zeitung reported on Monday how logistics company SV Druck GmbH sought to employ two refugees as shipping assistants at one of its warehouses in Weingarten last month. The company offered the prospective employees the statutory minimum wage of €12.82.
They were expected to start work on Feb. 1 but the process hit a bureaucratic roadblock when the Office for Migration and Integration refused to authorize the employment citing an objection from the Federal Employment Agency.
In Germany, employment contracts for refugees must be signed off by the relevant authorities.
According to a letter issued on Jan.20, the employment was not approved because the proposed wage was deemed too low. The agency ruled that refugees must be paid at least €14.00 per hour, as this was determined to be the “customary wage” for similar roles.
However, the company already employs numerous German citizens in the same role at the legal minimum wage of €12.82. The company’s HR department explained that approving a higher wage for refugees while German employees earned less for carrying out identical tasks would be discriminatory, but its protests were ignored.
SV Druck GmbH ultimately decided to cancel the employment contracts of the two refugees to avoid internal conflicts among staff.
“If the refugees were paid more, our German employees would justifiably demand the same increase,” the company explained.
When questioned about the higher wage requirement, Federal Employment Agency spokesperson Eva Schmid said, “The general statutory minimum wage is only applicable when no customary remuneration can be determined. For the position of ‘shipping assistant,’ the customary wage is set at €14.00 per hour.”
She cited wage statistics that list shipping assistants as earning between €15.98 and €16.52 per hour based on reference professions such as warehouse assistants or print shop helpers.
The regulation calls into question the extent to which federal bodies should be interfering with the free market economy and stipulating levels of remuneration exceeding the statutory limit for private companies.
Communist leader Jean Luc Mélenchon confirms the ‘great replacement’: ‘France is being creolised, and that’s a good thing!’
In front of an enthusiastic audience on Friday January 31, Jean-Luc Mélenchon confirmed that the ‘great replacement’ is indeed taking place, but in a framework that he is redefining. He said: ‘Yes, Mr Zemmour, there is a great replacement’, echoing the theses of his main opponent, as reported by the Journal du Dimanche.
For the leader of La France Insoumise, however, this replacement is above all ‘that of a generation that comes after another and that will never resemble the previous one’.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon then celebrated what he called the ‘creolisation’ of France, a process that he sees as a richness born of cultural encounters and exchanges. ‘You who have had the good fortune to mix, to discover each other, to hear yourselves sing, speak, cook and make music, you know how important this mixture is,’ he said. In doing so, he emphasised a social model in which diversity is at the centre of development.
Mélenchon criticised those who defend an ‘ossified tradition’ and emphasised that the future must not be a copy of the past. ‘The future is not destined to be the ever-recurring past,’ he said. He also praised the tradition of mixing and evolution and emphasised that humanity should look forward and not try to repeat old models.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s comments naturally provoked an immediate reaction from Éric Zemmour. On social media, the leader of the Reconquête party expressed his disapproval and condemned what he sees as a ‘denial’ of the nation. ‘Jean-Luc Mélenchon, you are blessing the conquest of France by a foreign civilisation. You have conjured up the downfall of the French people,’ he wrote, pointing the finger at Insoumi’s approval of a vision of the country that he sees as devastating to its identity.
Zemmour also accused Mélenchon of being part of a tradition of historical collaboration, claiming: ‘In the history of France, there have always been French people who have allied themselves with our enemies against our people. That is the only one of our traditions that you respect’.
US special envoy Grenell advises Germany’s CDU to ‘purge wokeness’
Richard Grenell, US President Donald Trump’s special missions envoy, has offered the German Conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) some “free advice”.
“Woke is dead,” Grenell wrote in a post on X on February 2 – “completely dead” even if the CDU might “not see it yet”.
He recommended the party talk about how it would “purge wokeness” from the government and withstand any criticism from German reporters about it.
“Highlight their criticism and do it again,” the 58-year-old Republican recommended.
The CDU stands to win the February 23 general election and is expected to lead the next German government.
“There’s a whole group of powerful people completely out of touch with the German people,” Grenell concluded.
My free advice for the @CDU:
— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) February 2, 2025
Woke is dead. You may not see it yet but it’s completely dead.
Talk about how you will purge wokeness from the government. And when German reporters criticize you for it, highlight their criticism and do it again.
There’s a whole group of…
Grenell is intimately familiar with German politics, having served as the US ambassador to the country from 2018 to 2020 during Trump’s first presidency.
After Trump lost the 2020 election, Grenell, also a former acting director of US national intelligence, worked in the private sector and as a political adviser.
In December 2024, Trump named him as his presidential special envoy for special missions. In this role he recently travelled to Venezuela and on January 31 secured the release of six US citizens detained there.
During his term as ambassador, Grenell was a controversial figure for the German Left and the largely left-leaning German media sector.
He was accused of partisanship and breaching diplomatic rules after he said in a 2018 interview he intended to strengthen conservative powers in Europe.
In 2019, Grenell criticised Germany for what he said was its continuous failure to fulfil NATO’s goal for defence spending of 2 per cent of GDP, causing outrage among German leaders.
Wolfgang Kubicki, a Liberal MP, even demanded he be thrown out of Germany at the time for “acting like the High Commissioner of an occupying power”.
He has remained a controversial figure. In a February 2024 interview, he directly accused Angela Merkel – German Chancellor from 2005 to 2021 – of bearing part of the blame for the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.
“Trump had three main requests which Germany did not want to fulfil: the end of Nord Stream 2, higher defence spending, and new sanctions on Iran,” Grenell told German media.
“History has shown he was right on all three accounts. If Merkel had followed us, we would not have wars in either Ukraine nor Gaza.”
At the time of writing, Grenell’s latest remarks had not drawn an official response from the CDU.
Right-wing commentators on X have expressed their hope that the party would heed the former ambassador’s advice.
“The CDU still has a chance to stop this nonsense”, one observer remarked on X.

UK Officials Draft a Hit List for Wrong-Think
Robert Cutts, CC BY 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons
Senior civil servants—permanent state employees—advising Britain’s elected home secretary would widen the range of targets for counter-extremism policy, all while downplaying the proven, lethal challenge posed by Islamist groups. While institutions often fail to prevent actual violence, ‘the blob’—the nickname given to the current crop of woke, publicly funded yet largely anonymous policymakers—has been revealed as keen to redefine thoughts and words as dangerous.
Last week Home Secretary Yvette Cooper denied incorporating an extensive and now-public rogues’ gallery of types of wrong-think (and worse) into policy. Yet it was she who in August 2024 commissioned a “Rapid Analytical Sprint” approach to extremism, prompting her advisers to cook up a hit list of problematic ideas. Security minister Dan Jarvis also briefed Parliament that, while he didn’t know which Whitehall materials had been made public by the think-tank Policy Exchange, he would still distance them from current government policy.
Regardless of precisely which draft of the report was leaked to authors Andrew Gilligan and Dr Paul Stott, it is clear that Whitehall chiefs are seeking to centralise greater power for the authorities. Extremely Confused: The Government’s new counter-extremism review revealed shows how, in an Orwellian sleight-of-hand, civil servants recommended that Britain’s approach to extremism should turn away from “ideologies of concern” and turn instead to managing a wide range of troubling “behaviours.” The leaked report then goes on to give examples of such “behaviours” to clamp down on, by outlining the ideas it deems a problem.
The document came to light amid criticisms of institutional failure to control individuals already known to various agencies for harmful behaviour, most recently convicted Southport murderer Axel Rudakubana (largely ignored because he appeared to ‘lack a clear ideology’).
Instead of tackling the problem at hand, the expanded list includes “left-wing, anarchist and single issue (LASI) extremism,” “environmental extremism,” and Hindu and pro-Khalistan extremism. Away from formal politics, it cites several new ‘threats,’ including misogyny in parts of the online ‘manosphere,’ apolitical voyeurism regarding ‘gore and violence,’ and an interest in conspiracy theories, including UFO cover-ups.
Like Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s own recent statements and the European pattern of labelling populist dissent as ‘far right,’ even critics of two-tier policing (portrayed as a “right-wing extremist narrative”) are cited as the ‘type’ of person requiring state intervention. Unlike, say, those on the Pickup Artist/PUA scene, Britain’s Pakistani-heritage rape and torture gangs are not listed as misogynist, but to mention their “alleged” (sic) activities would form another strand of the “right-wing extremist narrative.”
Conversely, despite the overwhelming evidence that Islamists have dominated terrorist murders in Britain since 1999, a meagre 160 words are given over to exploring their place in the proposed new counter-extremism framework. Islamists warrant less coverage than 1990s eco-loons the Earth Liberation Front, last heard of in about 2014, after their final attacks on various inanimate structures, who the draft report grants their own case study.
The government has not (yet) formally incorporated this advice from a section of ‘the blob’ into law. But noises about reintroducing the non-crime hate incident into policing and making new laws on ‘harmful communication’ are not encouraging. Likewise, this proposed (further) conflation of thoughts and deeds would make the current counter-extremism policy endanger civil liberties further, even while killers continue to slip through its net.

Who let those people into the country? (Video)
A Muslim woman in Italy saw a young man and a young woman kissing in public, and she seemed completely out of her mind about it.
Why come to the West if it doesn’t match your values and your terrorist religion?
Woke Three Musketeers Movie Bombs
The Disney formula of mixing a beloved classic with moonbattery to create an unwatchable remake does not make money. Yet the French decided to give it a try, wokifying The Three Muskateers into Toutes Pour Une. The result is as you might expect:
The heroine is no longer d’Artagnan, but Sara, a young girl who is shocked to discover that the three musketeers charged with looking after the Queen of France are in fact… women.
The Three Musketeers are no longer Frenchmen. They aren’t even Frenchwomen:
What are a wild Moroccan (Oulaya Amamra), a daughter of Algerians (Sabrina Ouazani), and a pudgy Congolese immigrant doing in the France of the good King Louis XIII?
Satisfying DEI quotas, what else?
French people don’t have to watch this crap, but they do have to pay for it with their taxes:
Toutes pour une received, the Destination Ciné X account explains, €2.6 million from France TV, €850,000 from the Centre National de la Cinématographie, €550,000 from the Île-de-France, Occitanie, and Provence regions, and €500,000 from European funds via Eurimages, for a total budget of €10 million.
Audience response:
With just 1271 admissions for 564 screenings, the film maintained a very respectable average of 2 spectators per screening.
Anyone who sat through it was probably a movie critic. But the important thing is to strike a blow against the patriarchy, not to entertain the unwoke masses.

Netherlands: 11-Year-Old Girl Stabbed to Death, Suspect Said to Be From Syria
A 29-year-old man, reportedly from Syria, has been arrested after a young girl was stabbed to death in The Netherlands.
Horror struck the municipality of Nieuwegein in the Dutch province of Utrecht on Saturday as an 11-year-old girl was stabbed and killed on Anemoonstraat street.
According to a report from De Telegraaf, first aid attempts were made to save the girl’s life, but she ultimately perished from her wounds.
The paper said that local residents identified the girl’s family as having hailed from the East African nation of Eritrea. They also said that the young girl had just celebrated her 11th birthday
Residents also identified the 29-year-old suspect as being from Syria (photo) ; however, police have yet to confirm his identity.
The Dutch paper reports that people in the area of the attack claimed that the man had been reported to police on at least three occasions before the attack on the young girl.
It is currently unclear if the suspect and victim knew each other or what the possible motive for the attack was.
Algemeen Dagblad reports that witnesses said that the girl was on the way to her friend’s house when she was stabbed on the street.
“The screams of the girl’s mother were terrible. I closed the windows so I didn’t have to hear it,” a resident told the paper.
In a statement, the Mayor of Nieuwegein, Marijke van Beukering, said: “What happened here today is horrible. Our thoughts now go primarily to the relatives, family and friends of the victim.”
Van Beukering described the attack as a “nightmare for everyone” and a “black page for loved ones and for Nieuwegein”.
The mayor said that police are investigating the attack and that “as a municipality, we will offer support where necessary”.
In response to the attack, Dutch populist leader Geert Wilders, who has been marshalling government efforts to clamp down on illegal migration and increase deportations, including to Syria, wrote on X: “Terrible, what a barbaric crime. Sympathy for the bereaved.”
