Allah's Willing Executioners

by Andrea Widburg

The most recent issue of Germany’s Der Spiegel, a major weekly news outlet, had an explosive story: Elif Eralp, the leader of Die Linke, Berlin’s extremely hard-left party, which got the largest share of votes in its coalition system, inadvertently confessed to living in fear of Hamas sympathizers associated with elements of her party. It’s one more sign that the Islamo-Leftist alliance across the world is really an Islamic party with leftist useful idiots.

The background is that Berlin held its elections on September 20, 2026. Die Linke got 25.7% of the vote, the single largest bloc. Eralp is now trying to form a coalition government with the Greens and the Social Democrats, which would make her the mayor, with all the power that brings. (For those who bemoan America’s winner-take-all system, just look to the craziness in Israel or Berlin to understand that no system is perfect, but ours is the least bad.)

And then the news broke. This tweet overstates some facts, but it still introduced Americans to what’s happening in Berlin. I’ve included Grok’s automatic translation at the end of this post:

🇩🇪🚨MEGA-ESCÁNDALO: La ganadora de las elecciones de BERLÍN, del partido de ultraizquierda Die Linke confiesa por error que Hamás controla su partido y teme por su vida💣

Here are the facts that I was able to piece together: On Monday, Der Spiegel interviewed Eralp about the fact that her party is closely associated with antisemitism and general radicalism. The staff specifically asked her about 70-year-old Ibrahim Ibrahim, a Lebanese man with German citizenship, who had attended the party’s election-night celebration, where he received a warm welcome.

Ibrahim is a prominent pro-Palestinian activist who strongly supported Yahya Sinwar and has reported ties to other terrorist organizations. His appearance at Die Linke’s September 20 election celebration exposed uncomfortable relationships between the party and extremist activists.

After the interview, Der Spiegel gave Eralp the chance to review and then authorize the statements she made to the magazine. This is apparently a common practice among German journalists. Her staff wanted to remove the entire line of questioning about Ibrahim.

The problem is that the staff sent the wrong document back. The annotated version they returned explained why they wanted to remove the question and answer: Eralp is afraid of Ibrahim. Thus, she annotated the transcript of her interview by writing (in German; the following is a translation), “My husband and I are afraid of these people,” and “I cannot put myself and my family in danger for Der Spiegel.”

Eralp wondered whether they could withdraw the entire interview. She also wrote that the Berlin police had generally advised her against naming anyone associated with organized crime, and that she believed that advice extended to people with Hamas connections—implying, to those who like reading between the lines, that Die Linke has become a home for Hamas supporters.

As Eralp’s concern about organized crime indicated, it’s not just Hamas that’s apparently got its talons in Die Linke. Spain’s El País took up the baton, reporting multiple criminal groups associated with Die Linke. Rammo clan members are associated with Die Linke and organized crime investigations, and they are supportive of Palestinians. The same holds true for members of the Barbaj clan, some of whose members have engaged in actual antisemitic violence. Other well-known people associated with organized crime or antisemitism (or both) are seen as very close to Die Linke.

Eralp responded by saying that, despite obviously allowing herself to be intimidated, if she were able to create a coalition, she’d be brave and go after organized crime and terrorism supporters. The irony is that Die Linke campaigned on dramatically reducing Berlin’s police force and eliminating its domestic intelligence service, positions that its prospective coalition partners forced it to abandon. For now, that response has been adequate, for the left-wing coalition is still hanging together.

The Berlin situation is obviously in flux. However, I believe we in America can learn from it: Leftism, crime, antisemitism, and pro-terrorist sympathies are inextricably intertwined. This is true whether you’re looking at Nazis, Bolsheviks, the Baader-Meinhof gang, or (increasingly) today’s Democrats.

When you delicately peel back the tent entrance to allow in the equity-DEI-CRT-LGBTQ+ nose of the camel—all the “brotherly love” stuff the left preaches—the rest of the camel inevitably enters, bringing with it communism, antisemitism, terrorism, and, inevitably, the Caliphate.

I can’t say it often enough: If you’re conservative, you must vote in this election, and you must vote against the Democrats. It doesn’t matter what you think of the Republican Party or its candidates; the Democrats have become the camel’s nose, and we cannot allow the camel in.

In a decisive first-reading vote, the Czech Parliament has approved legislation to abolish mandatory broadcasting fees for public television and radio, marking a significant break from the traditional license-fee model that has long funded public service media across much of Europe.

Under the plan backed by Prime Minister Andrej Babiš’s government, Česká televize and Czech Radio will in future be financed directly from the state budget. Funding for both institutions is also scheduled to be cut by approximately 15 percent starting in 2027.

Czech households currently pay 205 crowns per month—roughly €8.43—for access to public broadcasting. The government argues that the reform aligns with a broader European trend away from dedicated license fees. The draft legislation explicitly notes a “growing number of countries moving away from the principle of license fee funding,” while insisting that editorial independence and program content will remain protected.

Comparable shifts are already visible elsewhere in the European Union. In the Netherlands, the public broadcasting system has for years been financed primarily through the general state budget rather than a separate household levy. Spain’s RTVE abandoned its advertising-heavy model and moved toward mixed state funding after earlier reforms. In France, the longstanding television license fee was abolished in 2022 and replaced by direct budgetary allocations. Finland and several Nordic peers have adjusted or supplemented fee systems with tax-based contributions, while Hungary’s public media operate under direct state financing.

These examples illustrate that mandatory fees are not a fixed European norm; governments retain flexibility in how they support public-service broadcasters.

Critics, however, warn of heightened political risk for them. The European Broadcasting Union, the European Federation of Journalists, and Reporters Without Borders have cautioned that shifting to state-budget financing could open the door to their reduced influence over programming and editorial decisions.

Czech opposition parties have already announced plans to challenge the law before the Constitutional Court. Several hundred demonstrators gathered outside Parliament in Prague to protest the move, and the civic initiative “Veřejnoprávně” ironically argues that the new model threatens “the independence and stability of both broadcasters”.

The debate echoes ongoing discussions in Germany, where public broadcasters ARD, ZDF, and Deutschlandradio continue to rely on the household broadcasting fee to spread globalist propaganda. In Saxony-Anhalt, the AfD has made abolition of the fee a central campaign pledge. Lead candidate Ulrich Siegmund has called for terminating the inter-state broadcasting treaties and replacing the current system with a leaner “basic broadcasting” service if the party gains power.

Supporters of the Czech reform counter that direct state funding, combined with clear statutory safeguards, can preserve independence while improving transparency and reducing the administrative burden of fee collection. As the legislation advances through further parliamentary stages, the outcome will be closely watched across the EU as another data point in the evolving relationship between governments and public media.

A knife-wielding migrant successfully climbed on board a small boat crossing the Channel just seconds after threatening to “kill” those on the vessel.

In shocking footage shared with GB News by Nowhere Photographer, dozens of migrants can be seen attempting to embark on the journey to Britain from just south of Hardelot-Plage in northern France.

As the boat turned towards a group waiting to board, an argument erupted between a man already on board and another attempting to get onto the vessel.

The confrontation rapidly escalated when the man attempting to board produced a large knife and appeared to lunge towards the man on the boat in what looked like an attempted stabbing.

During the confrontation, the migrant can be heard shouting: “I will kill you.”

Fortunately, the man dropped the knife before he could reach his intended target.

But just moments later, the same man managed to climb aboard the vessel as it set sail for Britain.

The identity of the migrant seen wielding the knife and whether he has reached British shores is currently unknown.

Violent incidents involving migrants attempting to cross the Channel not uncommon, with several incidents, which have turned deadly in some instances, reported in recent months.

In July, French authorities launched a probe after the body of a migrant was discovered on a beach in the Calais area.

Investigators believe those responsible may have escaped to Britain aboard a small boat after allegedly stabbing the man to death.

The following month, another investigation was launched after an Afghan national was found dead in an overcrowded dinghy in the English Channel.

Detectives suspect the 34-year-old migrant may have been attacked by fellow Channel crossers aboard the vessel before suffering a cardiac arrest that proved fatal.

The disturbing incident revealed by the People’s Channel comes after hundreds of migrants crossed the English Channel for the first time in more than three weeks on Thursday.

Before yesterday the last successful illegal crossings were on October 7, when 119 migrants arrived on two large dinghies.

Just after 8am on Thursday, the Border Security Command vessel Contender arrived at Dover Harbour with the first batch of migrants taken from a dinghy in the middle of the Channel.

GB News counted 72, mostly young men, as they disembarked the Border Security Command vessel and were taken to the nearby migrant processing facility for health and security checks.

More than 80 other illegal immigrants were also spotted on board a so-called taxi boat, a large dinghy thought to have launched from a beach in Belgium earlier on Thursday.

The taxi boat called into a beach near Dunkirk and picked up dozens of other migrants who waded out into the water to clamber on board.

The latest arrivals have taken the total number of migrant crossings so far this year to more than 21,000.

GB News provided information about this latest incident to the Home Office and asked them to provide a statement.

They refused to provide a comment, saying that despite multiple requests, they had not been provided with the footage itself.

They have previously said: “We have made progress tackling the small boats. Crossings are down significantly, and we have just recorded the lowest number of summer arrivals since 2020.

“Joint efforts with international partners have prevented over 50,000 crossing attempts and seized 1,100 boats and engines since the election.

“But we must go further. That’s why we are boosting the number of officers on the ground in France and removing the pull factors drawing people here through illegal and dangerous routes.”

The well-known lawyer Christiane Meusel has reported on a possible case of bullying within the Berlin police force by officers of Turkish and Arab origin. “Lucky for us, that dirty German isn’t here today,” they are said to have remarked, according to the lawyer.
Furthermore, according to reports, a trainee with a migrant background is also said to have threatened during police training that he would “take revenge” on the Germans.

Just how chaotic the situation in the German capital has become is illustrated by the fact that more than 23 per cent of applicants to the Berlin police force last year were deemed unsuitable and were therefore unable to join the force. Police Commissioner Barbara Slowik lamented that there was “a very significant problem with German language skills”. She said there was an issue with the standard of education that young people were leaving school with. Furthermore, around 40 per cent of applicants regularly fail the German language tests.

Cardinal Gerhard Müller has said that the heretical German “Synodal Way” has to be stopped and that there is “no place for rainbow flags in the Church.”

In an interview with the Gibbons Institute, produced by Oxford philosopher and Blackfriars Fellow Jan Bentz, the prefect emeritus of the Congregation (now Dicastery) for the Doctrine of the Faith addressed the problems with the German “Synodal Way” and stressed that Pope Leo XIV is the successor of St. Peter and not of Pope Francis.

He criticized the “Synodal Way” and the German bishops for their pro-LGBT ideology and said that the process lacks proper foundation in the Christian faith and instead focuses on contemporary cultural and political ideas.

“There were people who were present there. There was no [word] spoken about God, the revelation about Jesus Christ, the only Savior,” Cardinal Müller said, adding that the focus was on “this modern ideology of wokism and this synodal way.”

The prelate stressed that the documents produced by the German “Synodal Way” have no theological authority.

“These documents they publish, they have no sense, or there’s no value for the magisterium,” he said.

He said the Synodal Way “cannot introduce heretical ideas in the anthropology and denying the revealed mysteries of God” and therefore it “must be stopped.”

“And there is no place for rainbow flags in the Church,” Cardinal Müller stressed.

During the German Synodal Way, more than two-thirds of the German bishops approved documents that included heretical statements, for instance, that homosexual acts are not sinful or that women can become priests.

The former Vatican prefect questioned the entire modern concept of “synodality” introduced by Pope Francis that attempts to constantly redefine the identity of the Church.

“There is a Church, the Catholic Church instituted by Jesus Christ – one, holy, apostolic, and Catholic Church. And there are synods, there are councils. But the Church, as the Church, is not a permanent synod,” he stated.

“The normal life of the Church is in preaching of the Gospel, living according to the way of Jesus Christ, living as a Christian in the family, in your profession, in the Holy Sacraments, in the liturgy,” he noted. “That is a Church. And we don’t need a permanent council to speak about it.”

He stressed that Pope Leo is bound by Catholic Tradition as the successor of St. Peter and not by the magisterium of his immediate predecessor.

“The Pope is not the successor of the Pope before, but he’s a successor of St. Peter,” Cardinal Müller said. “So chronologically, successor of the Pope before him, but this has no theological importance.”

He said that the Pope’s mission is to strengthen Catholics in their faith and proclaim Jesus Christ as the only mediator between God and man to the world.

He contrasted Pope Francis “practical approach” with Pope Benedict XVI’s emphasis on theological doctrine and clarity, stressing that his own approach was based on “the theological well-developed doctrine of Pope Benedict.”

Anti-grooming gang activist Tommy Robinson has been convicted of harassing two journalists from the Daily Mail newspaper, who accused him of stoking the riots in the wake of the mass stabbing at a children’s dance party in Southport in 2024.

The Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday found Robinson guilty of two counts of harassment causing fear of violence against Daily Mail journalists Andrew Young and Jacob Dirnhuber, for which he faces up to ten years in prison.

In addition to claiming that Robinson had incited the riots, a claim he has consistently denied, the paper also published images of the activist at a property in Cyprus, where he was staying at the time with his family. Robinson claimed the reports exposed his location despite knowing that “people want to kill me.”

In turn, Robinson hired private investigators to uncover the journalists’ private addresses in a bid to “put pressure on them”, the BBC reported.

He told the court he didn’t intend to scare the journalists, but to “bring the Daily Mail to the table”, claiming he had “panicked” after images of his location were published and that he felt it “endangered” his family.

The court also heard that Robinson published the journalists’ personal information on his X account and told Young on a phone call that he was “coming to get” him. The journalists, in turn, claimed to have hired private security and left their homes.

A Met Police spokesman said: “There are legitimate and established routes that can be pursued by people who have concerns or complaints about their treatment by the media.”

However, the Met said that Robinson chose instead to make “threatening online posts in the knowledge that they would almost certainly lead to his followers to target and intimidate those journalists”.

A spokesman for the journalists added: “This kind of intimidatory behaviour is not acceptable, and anyone behaving in such a way to intimidate, harass and threaten others either online or in the real world can expect to be investigated and brought before the courts, as was the case here.”

Responding to the ruling, Robinson wrote on X: “Just insane, the whole fucking thing is insane. We fight on.”

Some have asserted that the case was brought forward in order to silence the prominent activist, including Restore Britain party leader Rupert Lowe, who said Robinson has “not been treated fairly by our establishment for many years, and today is the latest example of that.”

“To be honest, I believe it is a disgrace. He was right on the rape gangs. The state was wrong. They want to vilify him for that,” Lowe argued.

Robinson has been jailed multiple times since becoming a public figure, most recently for contempt of court after breaching an order barring him from repeating claims about a Syrian refugee, who successfully sued him for libel.

He had also previously served a sentence at the high-security Belmarsh Prison for having filmed grooming gang child rapists outside of court. The predominantly Pakistani-heritage men were later found guilty of a “campaign of rape and other sexual abuse” against young girls.

A 29-year-old Syrian national was arrested Tuesday after attacking an off-duty police officer with a kitchen knife in Vienna’s Ottakring district, according to police. The officer, who was finishing a jog, fought off the assailant in a struggle that left the knife blade broken.

The incident occurred around 2:45 p.m. on Oct. 27 in a driveway on Hasner Strasse.

“The officer was jogging around 2:45 p.m. and finished with stretching exercises in a driveway on Hasnerstraße. Out of the corner of his eye he observed the 29-year-old, who was approaching him rapidly. The officer also noticed the kitchen knife in his hand,” police spokeswoman Julia Schick said.

Without speaking, the attacker lunged at him.

“The unknown man attacked the officer with the knife without saying a word. The 37-year-old defended himself vigorously and screamed for help. The blade broke multiple times because of the intensity of the struggle. This and the resistance meant the injuries were less severe than they otherwise would have been,” police said.

Passersby alerted by the cries caused the attacker to break off and flee on foot toward the Ottakring U-Bahn station. Emergency services treated the officer at the scene and transported him to a hospital, according to Wien ORF news outlet.

Police recovered the damaged kitchen knife and launched a search based on a detailed description and surveillance-camera images from a nearby building. Officers from the Wattgasse and Brunnengasse stations located the suspect shortly afterward in Wernhardtstraße and took him into custody.

The man, a Syrian citizen, confessed to the attack during questioning but offered no motive. “The Syrian citizen confessed to the act but did not comment on his motive. He appeared psychologically distressed during the interrogation,” police said. However, there is no report that the man suffers from mental illness.

The two men did not know each other, according to media reports.

On the order of the Vienna public prosecutor’s office, the suspect was placed in detention.

Elif Eralp, the lead candidate of Germany’s left-wing Die Linke party seeking to become governing mayor of Berlin, has privately admitted that she and her husband fear individuals with links to the militant group Hamas, according to internal comments accidentally shared with Der Spiegel.

In annotations on a draft interview that her office accidentally returned to the magazine this week, Eralp asked for the removal of a passage concerning the pro-Palestinian activist Ibrahim Ibrahim. The authorised version sent back by her spokesperson still contained her team’s notes, the magazine said in a cover story published on October 29.

She wrote that she could not “endanger myself and my family for Der Spiegel” and asked: “What do we do now? Can we cancel the whole interview?”

She added that she and her husband had “fear of these people”.

Eralp explained her reluctance to name specific individuals by citing past advice from Berlin’s State Criminal Police Office (LKA).

“At the time it was about OK [organised crime]. Now it’s about people with contacts to Hamas,” she wrote.

Eralp wrote that she could deal with general questions on anti-Semitism and people with ties to Hamas, but could not handle the naming of specific individuals such as Ibrahim.

She said she should never have agreed to the interview.

Ibrahim, who is in his seventies, attended a Die Linke election night event in the Neukölln district on September 20, the night of the Berlin state election.

He has been photographed with party figures including Bundestag member Ferat Koçak and local representative Vanessa Emde.

Berlin’s domestic intelligence service has classified the United Palestinian National Committee (VPNK), in which Ibrahim plays a leading role, as extremist. It is described as bringing together supporters of Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

Ibrahim has reportedly referred to the late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar as a “martyr hero”.

Both Hamas and the PFLP are designated terrorist organisations by the European Union.

Die Linke has previously stated that neither Ibrahim nor the clan figure Issa Remmo, who also appeared at a related event, had been invited, and that the Neukölln gathering was open to the public.

Party members, including Koçak, have publicly distanced themselves from statements glorifying violence or terrorism.

Eralp herself has said the party has no relations with organised crime and that Israel’s right to exist is party policy.

Eralp’s spokesperson told Der Spiegel that the candidate has faced daily insults, threats and hostility for months.

Security authorities, the spokesperson said, advise against linking political problems to named individuals in public statements when media reports have associated those people with organised crime or terrorist organisations.

The office asked the magazine to take Eralp’s personal security interests into account.

Der Spiegel decided to publish the internal remarks, which were not intended for external release, citing the public interest.

The magazine noted that a potential governing mayor would shape Berlin’s security policy and questioned whether someone who declines to name individuals out of fear could take responsibility for the capital’s safety.

It warned about the peculiar situation Berlin is in right now.

“For a long time, it has been an open secret in the capital that security authorities are struggling to keep the situation under control. That there are neighborhoods, streets, and milieus where the state must fight for control—where their own rules apply and the German rule of law carries little weight,” the magazine wrote.

“It seems many in Berlin have come to terms with the fact that both organized crime and organized hatred of Israel have become entrenched here.”

“Can a woman who is too afraid to confirm the name of a terror sympathiser in an interview be responsible for the security of all Berliners?” it asked.

The magazine also spoke with Hendrik Hansen, professor of political extremism at the Federal University of Applied Administrative Sciences, who said that in the pro-Palestinian faction “everything problematic about the Left Party converges: Anti-Semitism, hostility toward the police, and an extremist variant of postcolonialism”.

“The Left Party is, in parts, a dangerous party. Extremists operate in several of its subgroups and factions, and it collaborates with extremists.”

Neukölln district mayor Martin Hikel, of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), criticised Eralp’s stance in comments to Bild: “If someone allows themselves to be constrained in this way, it shows how strongly these terror-glorifying, anti-Semitic forces are anchored in Die Linke and want to come to power with the help of Die Linke.” He added: “Our open-minded city cannot want this.”

Stefan Evers, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) leader in Berlin, told the same newspaper the revelations reinforced “the great concern” about a State government led by Die Linke and asked how Eralp could guarantee the security of millions of people as governing mayor.

Berlin CDU security spokesman Burkard Dregger told Bild: “If you get involved with Hamas criminals and their henchmen in Berlin, you should not be surprised if they claim their price for the campaign support granted.”

Die Linke secured 25.7 per cent of the vote in the September 20 Berlin state election, becoming the largest party in the city’s House of Representatives for the first time and putting Eralp in a position to seek a coalition with the Social Democrats and Greens. The CDU fell to 18.8 per cent, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) rose to 16.3 per cent, the Greens took 14.3 per cent and the SPD 12.1 per cent, its worst result in a Berlin election, according to the Federal Agency for Civic Education.

The SPD executive and a Greens party conference both voted on October 19 to open formal coalition talks with Die Linke. A Die Linke state party conference is due to decide on October 31 whether to do the same.

Coalition talks have already been complicated by concerns over anti-Semitism, contacts with controversial figures and events involving the Neukölln branch.

Eralp, a 45-year-old lawyer of Turkish descent who was born in Munich to parents who fled Turkey after the 1980 military coup, and a member of the Berlin parliament since 2021, would be the city’s first governing mayor from Die Linke and the first of Turkish origin if elected by the assembly.

French Socialists are pushing to legalize an estimated 300,000 illegal migrant workers, embracing the same mass regularization agenda as Spain’s failed Socialist prime minister Pedro Sánchez despite an explicit warning from the EU that such policies encourage further illegal immigration.

The proposal is endorsed by the party’s presidential candidate, Raphaël Glucksmann, who declared during an October primary debate: ‘We will do it, and it will be popular.’ He also urged his fellow Socialists to ‘stop being afraid of the diktats of the National Rally on this issue,’ referring to Marine Le Pen’s party and its hard-line anti-immigration position.

🇫🇷French Presidential candidate for the left Raphaël Glucksmann is endorsing a plan to pardon and legitimise up to 400,000 illegal migrants, in a similar policy push to that in 🇪🇸Spain earlier this year.

Introduced on 6 October by Socialist MP Paul Christophle, the bill would grant a residence and work permit as a legal entitlement to foreigners able to prove at least six months of employment within the preceding two years. The periods need not be consecutive, and employment could be demonstrated by any means, creating a breeding ground for potential fraud. Crucially, applicants would not face the current shortage-occupation route’s three-year residence requirement or its 12-month employment threshold.

The Socialists present the measure as protection against exploitation. However, there is a much more troubling message behind such policies: work illegally for six months, and France will reward you with legal residence.

The bill praises Sánchez’s April mass regularization policy as a model to follow. The scheme was initially expected to cover around 500,000 illegal migrants but attracted 1,174,978 applications by the end of June. Spain’s programme primarily relied on prior residence rather than France’s proposed employment test; both, however, would offer legal status on a mass scale.

Sánchez’s move had already received substantial backlash from the European Union. On 28 October, the European Commission confirmed that it would examine a complaint from the Catalan independence party Junts alleging irregularities in Madrid’s implementation of the scheme. While no formal infringement procedure has yet been launched, the possibility of one is clearly there.

Both the Spanish and French initiatives run directly counter to a longstanding European commitment dating back to 2008, when EU governments agreed to favour individual rather than generalized regularizations. The European Parliament recently reinforced that position on 17 September, voting 339–225 to condemn Sánchez’s policy as a ‘pull factor’ and warning that ‘illegal entry must never become a shortcut to legal residence’.

The underlying cause of the resolution was the mass invasion of Ceuta, Spain’s North African enclave, where around 80,000 illegal migrants crossed from Morocco at the end of July. The EP explicitly described the incident as an ‘invasion’ and warned that mass-regularization signals could embolden migrants and smuggling networks.

‘Both the Spanish and French initiatives run directly counter to a longstanding European commitment’

In France, nevertheless, the proposal faces substantial parliamentary obstacles. Even if the Socialists secured the backing of Mélenchon’s far-left France Unbowed, the Greens and the Communist-aligned alliance, the combined left would command just 193 seats in the 577-seat National Assembly, leaving it dependent on support or abstentions from centrist parties. Resistance from the National Rally and the parliamentary right, alongside a conservative-dominated Senate, makes the bill’s passage highly unlikely. RN MP Laurent Jacobelli rejected the proposal outright, declaring ‘zero regularizations’ and warning that immigration had reached an ‘intolerable’ level.

The bill is scheduled for 19 November, although it may never reach a vote. Meanwhile, Marine Le Pen, who has made opposition to mass immigration a central pillar of her political agenda, leads virtually every major poll ahead of France’s 2027 presidential election. Recent surveys consistently place the National Rally leader between 32 and 37 per cent, well ahead of her competitors. An October OpinionWay poll put Le Pen on 36 per cent against Glucksmann’s 13 per cent, highlighting the stark contrast between their competing visions for France’s immigration policy.

At an event hosted by the Budapest-Fasor Evangelical congregation, a book was presented that draws a sexual parallel to the suffering of Jesus. The author of the publication—which is aimed at young people—is Johanna Wikberg, an openly lesbian, ordained pastor of the Church of Sweden.

According to a report by Hír TV, the comic book by Swedish pastor Johanna Wikberg, which addresses the topic of Christian sexuality and is intended for teenagers, was unveiled at a joint event organized by the Budapest-Fasor Evangelical congregation, the Mosaik community, and the Cser publishing house. The author of the comic book—which targets adolescents and promotes homosexuality—is an openly lesbian, ordained pastor of the Church of Sweden.

In the comic, Wikberg compares anal sex between men to the suffering of Jesus.

Furthermore, in this publication designed for young people, a queer character and their friend pose questions about sexuality to various biblical and historical figures. The news outlet noted that while the public book launch was not a school lesson, the publication is nonetheless directed at young people.

As reported by Hungary Today, parliament dominated by the TISZA party recently passed an amendment to the Child Protection Act. The bill was supported by members of the governing parties, while the opposition voted against it. In this context, Péter Magyar stated on Facebook that it was a disgrace for politicians from Fidesz, the KDNP, and the “Our Homeland” (Mi Hazánk) movement to oppose the new child protection legislation.

According to the opposition, however, the TISZA party—in line with expectations from Brussels—has put forward a law that opens school doors to gender ideology and represents a step backward in the fight against pedophiles. Furthermore, the legislation embeds ideological concessions within otherwise commendable child protection measures—concessions that directly threaten the psychological and moral development of children.

Moreover, the TISZA party has removed a provision that prohibited self-identification inconsistent with one’s sex at birth, gender transition, and the promotion or depiction of homosexuality.

Hardly had the parliament passed the amendment to the Child Protection Act when the “gender lobby” began appearing in schools—a development we have also reported on.

As for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Europe, this denomination is arguably the staunchest advocate of “woke” ideology. It also acts as one of the main financial sponsors of illegal migration. In regions where a church tax is levied—such as in Germany—members’ funds are diverted to finance questionable initiatives that have little to nothing to do with the biblical view of humanity or Christian values. In response, many Evangelical Christians—primarily in Scandinavian and German-speaking countries—are “voting with their feet” (by leaving the church).

Since the electoral victory of the TISZA party, a state-aligned Lutheran (Evangelical) church has begun to emerge in Hungary—one that, in a display of preemptive obedience, adopts the ideological dictates of the EU establishment and provides them with a theological foundation. This mirrors developments within the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD), where church services now often resemble political rallies for the Green or Left parties. Even following the retirement of Tamás Fabiny, the Evangelical Church of Hungary’s drift toward a Western-style, left-liberal model of the church has shown no signs of slowing.

The fact that the magazine *Evangélikus Élet* (“Evangelical Life”) has featured Zoltán Tarr—the chief ideologue of TISZA and a trained Reformed theologian—on its cover twice speaks volumes about an insatiable desire to curry favor with those now in power. Tarr’s detachment from pastoral care is matched by the growing alienation between the church leadership and its own congregants; notably, this left-leaning founding father of TISZA has never served in a local parish.

In light of this disastrous trajectory—which appears to repeat every mistake made by Western sister churches—the only remaining hope lies in the emergence of a “confessing church”, a term coined by Lutheran pastors resisting Nazism during World War II. Such a movement would draw upon the legacy of Lajos Ordass (born Wolf, 1901–1978), a Lutheran pastor and later bishop who stood firm against both the Arrow Cross fascists and the Communists. Signs of this are already appearing:

Church circles committed to remaining faithful to the Gospel have taken a sharp stance against the proponents of that scandalous document from Sweden, deploying theological arguments to counter the instrumentalization of the Good News.
