RIGHTWINGERS IN EUROPE ! Upper row: Netherland’s Geert Wilders, Poland PiS’ Jaroslaw Kaczynski, Sweden’s Jimmie Åkesson, Spanish Vox’s Santiago Abascal. Lower row: German AfD’s Alice Weidel, Italy’s Mateo Salvini, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, French RN’s Marine Le Pen.
Right-wing and populist forces are on the move in Europe.
Here at TGP, we have been closely tracking the upsurging right-wing and populist forces in Europe, and most especially the ‘Patriots for Europe’ group in the European Parliament.
The group has leaders such as Viktor Orbán from Hungarian Fidesz; Marine Le Pen from French National Rally; Matteo Salvini from League (Italy); Herbert Kickl from Freedom Party of Austria; Geert Wilders from PVV in the Netherlands; Santiago Abascal from Spanish Vox, and finally Andrej Babiš from the Czech Republic’s ANO – who just won today’s parliamentary elections.
Andrej Babis and his ANO party win the Czech parliamentary elections. He will likely be able to form a govt with two other smaller right wing populist parties.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was the first in Europe to congratulate him, while the western media and Globalist establishment are panicking over Babis’ pledge to stop Ukraine aid and put Czechs first.
“Billionaire businessman Andrej Babis has won parliamentary elections in the Czech Republic, although his populist ANO party fell short of an overall majority, preliminary results show.
According to current predictions, ANO received just under 35% of the vote, earning them 81 seats in the 200-seat lower house.
Babis – who served as prime minister from 2017 to 2021 – is expected to be invited to lead talks on forming a new coalition.”
“Babis will begin talks immediately – perhaps as early as tonight – with the two small right-wing Eurosceptic parties that managed to pass the 5% threshold: the anti-Green Deal Motorists for Themselves, and the anti-immigrant Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) party, led by the Czech-Japanese entrepreneur Tomio Okamura.”
With almost all votes counted (99.3 percent), the opposition ANO party led by former prime minister Andrej Babiš has won the Czech parliamentary elections with 34.8 percent. The centre-right coalition Spolu (Together) followed with 23.2 percent, and the Mayors and Independents (STAN) finished third with 11.2 percent. The Pirate Party gained 8.8 percent, Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) 7.8 percent, and the Motorists 6.8 percent. Voter turnout reached nearly 69 percent. It is ANO’s second parliamentary victory after 2017. Four years ago, the party narrowly finished second behind Spolu. Arriving at his party’s headquarters in Prague, Babiš said he was “happy,” calling the outcome a historic success and the highlight of his political career. “I hoped we would reach 30 percent, as our poll suggested 26,” he said.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s speech at the 35th German reunification day celebration, October 3, was expected to be a rallying cry to unify the population. And while the embattled chancellor did attempt that, his speech was long on platitudes and short on solutions.
Democracies like Germany and their “liberal way of life,” he warned, “are under attack, from both outside and within.”
Merz said the “irregular, uncontrolled migration” has “polarized the country”—as if the polarization, not the problems mass migration has brought, was the problem.
European democracies, he said, need to grow their economies and be ready to face up to “new alliances of autocracies” forming, and emphasized the need for Germany to “relearn how to defend ourselves” by “deterring our adversaries from further aggression.”
The average German might be more concerned about political and religiousviolence already inside the country, but for them, the chancellor had another message: To get through the “difficult time” ahead, Germans must embrace unpopular reforms. Social promises “that we have given to each other” will be so much more “difficult to uphold than they have been in the past,” Merz said. While not explicit, the message was clear: To build the defense capacity necessary to deter Russia, Germans must be ready to accept cuts to their social welfare system in the spirit of unity.
“Our nation is in the midst of an important, perhaps decisive, phase in its modern history,” he said. “Many things must change if they are to remain as good as they are, or even to improve.” To this effect, Merz expects the German people to “make a little more effort.”
Citizens, he said, cannot leave it to the politicians to fix things, but must take responsibility for social stability “through open dialogue, respect for differing opinions, and active participation in social life. When we hear debates and arguments, we are hearing democracy at work!” In the context of politicians filing police reports against citizens ridiculing them online and the ongoing efforts to sideline, or even ban, the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, those words rang hollow.
Henning Hoffgaard, columnist in conservative Junge Freiheit, commented,
Friedrich Merz, whose plan for Germany apparently only lasted until the day of his election, would have had the chance to deliver a truly decisive speech. Because the country desperately needed one.
Invited to speak at the event was French president Emmanuel Macron, who called on Germans to “rebuild a 21st-century democracy” or risk becoming “a continent, like many others, of conspiracy theories, extremes, noise, and fury.” Former Chancellor Angela Merkel criticized Macron’s presence, explaining that it would have been more appropriate to invite a speaker from former East Germany instead.
Also speaking at the event, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier contributed a comment that put President Macron’s remarks in an ironic spotlight. The president expressed concern that “the political center has less and less support,” especially in the eastern part of the country, which was formerly under communist rule. Steinmeier continued,
Today, we are also witnessing in our country that political forces are celebrating electoral successes that disregard democracy, despise its institutions, and seek to undermine them, that poison the debate so vital to democracy with hatred and incitement, and that spread misanthropy. Let us not allow our democracy to suffer any further damage! Let us stand against it!
President Steinmeier failed to explain how a democracy can suffer when the will of the people is expressed in its elections. Let’s not forget that in the Communist Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR), ‘democracy’ meant citizens could vote for any party they wanted—as long as it was one that the Communists had not outlawed.
With this in mind, it is shocking that the Bundespräsident would be tone deaf enough to demonize a party supported by over 25% of the citizenry and still talk about his country as a “democracy.”

A devastating new report from the U.K. broadcaster ITV on the treatment of people with disabilities revealed a 56-year-old man with Down syndrome, Adrian Poulton, was starved to death in an NHS hospital after being admitted in September 2021 with a broken hip after a fall. His hip was mending, but doctors listed him as “nil by mouth.”
“Nil by mouth” is a directive not to feed the patient by mouth. Poulton was given no food for nine days, while his family thought he was being given nutrition at Poole Hospital through a drip. “Not being medical, we just naturally thought he was having nutrition, a feed,” his father Derek Poulton told ITV. “But as it turns out, they were starving him.”
At one point, his sister Lesley Bungay said, “He was really poorly. He did look at me and dad … he said to me, ‘Lesley, I don’t want to die.’ He knew he was going to die. It was just awful.” When they realized Adrian wasn’t being fed, he was past the point of recovery and died on September 28, 2021. The official hospital report concluded that “a lack of nutrition” led to his death, and the hospital offered condolences and stated that they “have implemented a number of changes following this and have shared these with the family.”
“In September, a government-ordered report found people with a learning disability are dying on average 20 years younger than the general population, and that almost 40% of deaths of learning-disabled people were deemed to be avoidable,” ITV reported. “Families and campaigners have also raised concerns over the sharp decline in specialist learning disability nurses, and training for NHS staff on learning disabilities and autism.”
A letter from 16 charities and disability campaigners will be sent to Health Secretary Wes Streeting, calling for intervention.
“The Learning Disability nursing workforce has declined by 43% since records began in 2009,” the letter reads. “If nothing changes, it is predicted by 2028 there will only be a tiny number of Learning Disability Nurses qualifying in England, with a pattern of reducing numbers in the other U.K. countries too. The profession is in crisis, and urgent intervention is needed to avoid imminent collapse.”
Tragedies like the death of Adrian Poulton are precisely why every disability rights group in the United Kingdom – and other countries – so fiercely oppose the legalization of euthanasia and assisted suicide. Medical institutions have a long and ugly history of practicing what amounts to proactive eugenics.
ITV reported that NHS England must do better to reach its targets for training staff; the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training program, established in 2022, is considered the gold standard. But the proactive decisions of medical staff to devalue the lives of people with disabilities go beyond mere misunderstanding in many cases and help explain why medical institutions have not prioritized such training in the first place.
“People with a learning disability are still dying from the same conditions and the same failures,” campaigner Paula McGowan told ITV. “The government needs to do an awful lot more. These people matter. And I would question why our government don’t see it the same way.”
In 2023, 17-year-old Louis Cartright, who has Down syndrome, was taken to the hospital after he fell ill. Over ten days he was seen by three doctors, but was anxious at the prospect of having blood taken. Doctors didn’t think he was ill enough to warrant sedation for a blood test, and so Cartright was left untreated. The usually healthy boy worsened. His mother found him on the floor on February 3, 2023.
“He was saying mumbled sentences, which we could work out,” his mother Jackie said. “I went over to him … I picked him up, and he fell into my arms, and he died.” The inquest at the South London Coroner’s Court is still ongoing, and the family still does not have answers. “It was from the start that things went wrong for him,” his mother said. “He didn’t even access basic healthcare. He was just white … As I was in the hospital, looking at him, I had all the overwhelming fear of what this could be, because actually, Louis was never ill.”
“He’d never even had COVID. He very rarely gets a cold, he never had a tummy bug. He was a super healthy kid,” she continued. “This is the problem when you’re a mum of a child with a disability. Everything is 20 million times harder than for anybody else. You’re hitting brick walls constantly. You’re fighting all the time to get anything. It’s a constant, battle, battle, battle, battle. You’re just resigned to the fact, here we go again. Another difficulty. Another excuse.” The coroner has not been unable to determine why Louis died.
“They’re saying they’ve done everything they could have done for Louis. We don’t believe that’s true,” his father Ian told ITV. “He had a disability, he had Down syndrome, he was a frightened kid. They could have done something, and they refused to.” Jackie added: “None of it makes any sense. I’m not going to be able to process this, ever. I’m just completely devastated and shocked. If he had been a 17-year-old boy who articulated he did not feel well, he would not have been sent home from the hospital. Louis was allowed to die due to his disability.”
It is important to acknowledge that there are many medical professionals who fight heroically for the lives of people with disabilities. But it is also true that the U.K.’s abortion legislation banned abortion at 24 weeks – unless the baby in the womb was diagnosed with Down syndrome, in which case the parents could have the baby killed up until birth. Ableism is an ugly fact of Western healthcare, and to legalize assisted suicide in the U.K. would be to make the NHS even more dangerous for those with disabilities.
Muslims vandalized the Uncommon Church in Euless TX with obscene anti-Israel graffiti. Leftists and the Islamist group CAIR quickly came to their defense, complaining that vandalizing churches is really protected by the First Amendment.
After Raunaq Alam, Afsheen Khan and Julia Venzor vandalized the church, the Dallas Observer claimed that prosecuting them “erodes the First Amendment rights of protesters and critics of the nation of Israel.”
The First Amendment protects the rights of people to express their opinion, not to vandalize a church.
The Uncommon Church had put up a flag in solidarity with Israel after Oct 7 as part of its Christian beliefs. Targeting the church over its beliefs is correctly, an anti-religious hate crime.
BREAKING – CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, is demanding that charges be dropped against three Muslims who vandalized a church in Texas, claiming that “graffiti is the language of the unheard” and that vandalizing the church was their First Amendment right. pic.twitter.com/AUi49smzta

“Vandalizing a church property goes against the tenants (sic) of Islam; however, manipulating Texas’ hate crime laws to punish criticism of a foreign government will further erode public confidence in expressing their freedom of speech,” complained Imran Ghani, Director of Operations of CAIR-Texas Houston.
Under the ‘tenets’ of Islam, the correct thing to do to a church is to take it over and turn it into a mosque. And kill any Christians who protest.
Vandalizing it is a more minor way of doing things.
While CAIR constantly claims that Muslims face hate crimes, it protects Muslims who commit hate crimes.
If the Muslims in questions hadn’t vandalized a church, they wouldn’t be facing hate crime prosecutions.
In recent years, Muslims have attacked synagogues in ‘friendly’ Democrat areas in Los Angeles and New Jersey, and got away with it, as local prosecutors only charged the Jews who defended synagogues, not the Muslims who attacked them.
Texas however is not California.
And if Texas can’t get the job done, federal hate crimes charges may be in order.
Terror attack suspect Jihad al-Shamie was on bail for an alleged rape when he attacked a synagogue in Manchester yesterday. His father also celebrated October 7th; death threat emails were also sent to an MP under his name.
A Moroccan “minor” who claimed to be 17 years old when arrested for the rape of a 14-year-old girl in Madrid has been revealed to be 23, shifting his case from juvenile to adult court and exposing his long record of violent crime.
The attack occurred on Aug. 29 near the Hortaleza juvenile center, where the man was living under the guise of being an unaccompanied minor. According to police and medical reports, the victim was beaten, stripped, and raped.
Officers responding to the scene found the suspect, identified as Mohamed Rifai, hiding in the bushes nearby. As reported by OKdiario, he resisted arrest, punching and kicking the officers, threatening to kill them, and later lashing out violently in custody.
Once detained, Rifai vandalized his holding cell, threatened police and forensic staff, and refused to cooperate. His outbursts escalated to the point where authorities were forced to sedate him.
Though he presented himself as 17, forensic examinations of his teeth, wrist, and collarbones concluded he is at least 19, with a most probable age of 23.2. As a result, his case was formally transferred from the juvenile court to a regular one. The ruling stated that on the date of the attack, he was “in any case, over 18 years of age.”
This reclassification carries significant legal consequences. If convicted of rape as an adult, Rifai could face up to 15 years in prison. Had he been tried as a juvenile, the maximum penalty would have been eight years in a detention center.
It was later revealed that the suspect had already amassed 14 convictions in Spain, ranging from shoplifting to violent robbery and assaulting a police officer, before the alleged rape.
Vox leader Santiago Abascal criticized the legacy political parties in Spain for continuing the mass immigration policy that is threatening public safety. In a post on social media, he wrote, “The fact that these people are in Spain is the responsibility of all parties. All except VOX. They are guilty of opening their doors to them, of making some people rich by bringing them, of making others rich by serving them, and of making Spaniards, and in this case a poor Spanish girl, suffer the consequences every day.”
The revelation regarding Rifai’s age comes the same week that Spain’s socialist government began the gradual transfer of more than 600 Moroccan nationals claiming to be minors from the North African enclave of Ceuta to the Spanish mainland.
The decision has reignited debate in Madrid over how to manage unaccompanied minors entering the country, as new figures revealed just 41 of the nearly 30,000 minor arrivals since 2018 have been repatriated.

For almost 2,000 years, the Christian faith has been the backbone of Western society. Growing from the Jewish Bible, the Catholic Church shaped Europe. Eventually, both the Catholic and Protestant faiths found their way to the New World, carrying with them the Bible and European values.
Although imperfect people often used Christianity for bad ends, it was still the moral force that led to a world where its respect for the individual led to unparalleled prosperity for all, along with previously unimagined safety and rights for women, children, and other vulnerable people.

Over the centuries, Christianity faced down Islam, which emerged from the Arabian desert in the 7th century. Unlike Christianity, Islam is doctrinally a religion of conquest. Christ advocated persuasion through words and deeds. It was human rulers who added conquest to the mix.
By contrast, the Koran, which represents the unchallengeable words of Mohamed, the “perfect man,” mandates that Islam’s believers strap on their swords (and, today, bombs and guns), and go forth and murder people into “submission.” It has a special animus for Jews, since they offended Mohamed by refusing to accept him as their messiah, but it’s very clear that, eventually, all must yield to its violent dictates.
Aided by the promise of rape in this world and virgins in the next, Muslim men, who are routinely deprived of access to women if they are lower caste, went forth and conquered. This video reminds us that, contrary to what’s being taught in schools today, the Crusades were not an offensive war (although they were frequently quite offensive, especially in their antisemitism) but were, instead, a defensive effort to reclaim lands that Muslims had conquered:
After a tug of war over the Holy Land, the Ottomans eventually grabbed it for centuries, until the Sick Old Man of Europe died in 1918. Importantly, Europe’s warriors, who believed in Christianity and their nations, succeeded in stopping Islam’s depredations at the Gates of Vienna in 1683. Having done that, Europe proceeded to plant the seeds of its own destruction. That, of course, is socialism.
Europe’s love affair with socialism started with the French Revolution, which was the antithesis of the American Revolution. The American Revolution enshrined individual liberty derived from a Biblical creator; the French Revolution was a ferociously anti-religious statism. The American Revolution created the most successful nation in history, a success Americans freely shared with the rest of the world. The French Revolution created…um, modern France.
Marx and Engels took socialism to the next level. They believed that an all-powerful state would eventually fulfill people’s material needs, allowing them to become their own gods, freed from the limitations of Biblical morality—a morality expressed in the Seven Noahide laws, the Ten Commandments, Jesus’s teachings, and Paul’s ministry. In the modern era, people are also being told that their state-derived god-like status will relieve them of the burdens of human biology itself.
Socialism, however, did not create Paradise. In the 20th century, it created 100 million dead in concentration camps, gulags, killing fields, battlefields, and the black hole of chronic poverty, starvation, and tyranny. It has never worked. But the true believers did something very clever: They gained access to the West’s media and education systems. And so, despite socialism’s unending list of failures, it has an equally unending source of acolytes.
And then, socialism did something else that it thinks is clever: It allied itself with Islam, which promised to be its fearless fighting arm. While leftist college graduates, now completely hostile to biblical principles, cut off their genitals, shriek about safe spaces, and faint over cotton balls, Muslims, in service to the Koran, willingly pull out the swords.
And yes, Antifa and transgender types are stepping up in America, but in Europe…that’s where you’ll find the Islamic heft. Leftists think that, at the end of the day, they can put the useful Muslims back in the box; the Muslims think the same. My money’s on the Muslims winning this battle.
For now, though, across the West, we’re seeing a dual-pronged attack against our Judeo-Christian-Enlightenment Western culture, the culture that brought more people out of poverty and suffering than any other system in history. And it’s wicked, very wicked.
What we’re seeing is truly “evil” because both Islam and socialism revel in death. For American socialists, this evil shows up with aborting 65 million babies in 52 years, and baying for more (along with euthanasia, of course), along with cheering the death of a young father of two because his pro-American, pro-Christian ideas offended them, or cheering on the outbreak of church slaughters, mostly by “trans” activists. For Muslims, the death cult involves calling for the annihilation of world Jewry and the forced conversion of everyone else, complete with non-stop terror attacks worldwide.
And that gets me to a tweet that I’ve had sitting on my computer since Charlie Kirk’s assassination. It’s from a man whose focus in life is cryptocurrency. He’s not religious, he’s not a famous speaker, and he’s not a politician. He’s just an ordinary guy who said something incredibly profound, something all of us should very seriously contemplate if we wish to push back against the evil that is ascendant in the world today:
I’ve never been a religious person because I don’t know if God is real
But I’m becoming more religious every day because I know that Evil is real, and I want to be on the other side of it https://t.co/ykfaFLKSyD
The acquittal of ten suspects in a Vienna sexual abuse case involving a twelve-year-old girl represents far more than a judicial failure. It signals the systematic collapse of what John Fletcher Moulton, Lord Moulton, identified over a century ago as the foundation of civilised society. The metaphorical “rape of Europe” has become disturbingly literal, and our legal institutions stand helpless before a phenomenon they were never designed to address.
In 1942, Lord Moulton delivered a prescient speech on “Law and Manners”, dividing human action into three domains. At one extreme lies the domain of positive law, where actions are prescribed by binding regulations. At the other extreme lies the domain of free choice, where individuals enjoy complete freedom. But between these two exists what Moulton called “the domain of obedience to the unenforceable”. This is the realm where men act not because they are compelled by law, but because their moral compass guides them.
This middle domain, Moulton argued, represents the true measure of a civilisation’s greatness. It encompasses those actions where “there is no law which inexorably determines our course of action, and yet we feel that we are not free to choose as we would”. Here lies the realm of duty, public spirit, and what he termed “good form”, also known as the sphere where gentlemen emerge not through legal compulsion, but through self-imposed moral restraint.
What we witness today across Vienna and countless other European cities is the systematic erosion of this crucial middle domain. The Vienna case, where ten suspects were acquitted despite video evidence and the victim’s clear expressions of unwillingness, exposes our legal system’s inability to comprehend crimes that lie outside our moral imagination. Similarly, the Hamburg park case, where nine men gang-raped a fifteen-year-old girl over several hours, resulted in suspended sentences for all but one perpetrator.
These are not isolated incidents of passion or desperation. They represent calculated, premeditated acts – often filmed by the perpetrators – carried out by groups who operate according to an entirely different moral framework. In Germany alone, we now witness between 600 and 800 gang rapes annually. This represents a crime category that scarcely existed in European consciousness until recently, but now should be dealt with on a daily basis. This is not progress, it is the descent back into barbarism,
One of Western civilisation’s greatest achievements was the emergence of the gentleman. The ideal of a man who understood his duty to protect rather than exploit the vulnerable. This concept, rooted in what the historian Tom Holland describes as Christian moral assumptions that permeate even our secular society, created a social contract where women could walk safely at night, trusting in men’s self-imposed restraint.
But this social contract requires reciprocal recognition. When mass migration introduces populations operating under fundamentally different moral systems—where women are categorised as either “good girls” (veiled, sequestered, controlled) or “ungodly girls” (available for exploitation)—the entire framework collapses. Our legal system, built on assumptions of shared moral understanding, finds itself paralyzed.
The most disturbing aspect of these cases lies not in the crimes themselves, but in the judicial response. Judges bend over backwards to excuse the inexcusable: “She appeared older than twelve”; “The sexual acts were completely consensual”; “The defendants showed remorse”. Meanwhile, the victims bear the consequences and are forced to change schools, enter a life resembling being in a witness protection programs, and flee their own communities to avoid seeing those who did them harm.
In Hamburg, a twenty-year-old woman received a harsher sentence for calling a gang rapist a “disgraceful rapist pig” than the rapist himself received for his crime. This inversion of justice—where defending the innocent becomes more punishable than destroying them—reveals a system that has lost all moral bearings.
As Lord Moulton observed, “the worst tyranny will be found in democracies.” This tyranny will not come through the direct oppression of autocrats, but through the majority’s misguided legislation driven by fashionable ideology. Today’s tyranny manifests as judicial activism that transforms perpetrators into victims through sociological alchemy: Poverty, marginalisation, and “structural exclusion” become excuses for the most heinous crimes. The wisdom written by Adam Smith holds true: “Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.” When forensic psychiatrists explain gang rape as compensation for “marginalisation fantasies,” when judges suspend sentences because perpetrators “showed remorse,” we sacrifice our daughters on the altar of multicultural delusion.
When the domain of obedience to the unenforceable collapses, the state inevitably expands its coercive apparatus. Unable to rely on shared moral understanding, authorities resort to increasingly invasive surveillance and control. We witness this in proposals for digital identity systems, cashless societies, and comprehensive monitoring—measures that will inevitably fall most heavily on law-abiding citizens while exempting the very populations that necessitated such controls.
The bitter irony is that we may soon find ourselves living under Islamic moral strictures without Islam itself: Separating sexes in schools, restricting women’s movement, establishing moral police—all in response to problems created by importing populations who never accepted our civilizational assumptions.
Think of the Titanic disaster, where men voluntarily observed “women and children first” despite facing certain death. They did not do this because law compelled them, but because their moral training made any other response unthinkable. Today’s equivalent test reveals the opposite: Men who voluntarily organise group sexual assaults while filming their crimes for entertainment.
We face a choice that cannot be postponed much longer. Either we restore the domain of obedience to the unenforceable by ensuring that only those who accept our civilisational premises remain among us, or we surrender that domain entirely and accept the authoritarian consequences.
The first option requires acknowledging uncomfortable truths about cultural compatibility and implementing deportation policies for those unwilling to internalise European moral standards. The second leads to a surveillance state that would make Orwell blanch, combined with the practical implementation of Islamic social controls to manage populations that never accepted liberal assumptions.
This choice will likely determine Europe’s fate within the next five to seven years. We are past the point of gradual reform or multicultural bridge-building. The Titanic has struck the iceberg; the only question now is whether enough passengers recognise the danger to organise effective response before the ship disappears beneath the waves.
The rape of Europe—both metaphorical and literal—continues because we lack the civilisational confidence to defend what previous generations built. Until we rediscover that confidence, or until demographic realities make the choice for us, European women will continue paying the price for our intellectual cowardice and moral confusion.
