UK: Trans-Identified Male Appointed To Top Endometriosis Charity Role

A trans-identified male has been handed the parliamentary engagement role for a charity that represents women with endometriosis. “Steph” Richards had previously resigned from the role as CEO for the same charity in 2024 due to blowback from gender critical women.

Richards, a 73-year-old male, was given the new role at Endometriosis South Coast this week, and will spend his time lobbying in Parliament with elected British representatives on behalf of the charity.

The charity describes themselves as an “inclusive” group designed to support those who suffer from the disease, which affects close to 10% of women. The disease results in tissue similar to the uterus lining growing outside of the uterus, which causes fertility problems and severe pain.

Due to the uterine nature of disease, it only affects females, but the charity has asserted that the “disease does not discriminate,” and any claims that only women are affected are “scientifically” inaccurate.

“It affects people of all genders, including trans men, non-binary, and intersex individuals,” the charity said in a statement, defending the employment of Richards to the position, and claimed that effective advocacy for the disease does not depend on having any personal experience with the condition. Richards himself has described all criticism of his posting as “transphobic.”

Former Labour Party and now independent MP Rosie Duffield, who represents Canterbury, said it was completely “inappropriate” to have selected Richards for the role. “I am really uncomfortable that, of all of the tens of thousands of women affected, someone who is biologically male is coming to speak about this in parliament,” Duffield said, adding that Richards “can have no possible lived experience of this condition.” Duffield went on to argue that there were far more women who actually lived with the disease and therefore would be better placed to speak on the issue in Parliament.

“This is a senior spokesperson’s role, so it’s somebody speaking on behalf of an awful lot of sufferers, and you can’t, in my opinion, do that if you have no possible awareness of what women’s bodies go through,” she concluded.

Another critic of Richards has been Amanda Craig, a novelist who has suffered an acute form of the condition since her forties.

Craig branded the appointment as an “absolutely ridiculous decision,” adding that it was “fundamentally discordant and wrong” to place a male in that position, “even if it comes from a good place and wants to help women.” She argued that since doctors often dismiss women as being “neurotic” for wanting to receive a proper diagnosis, that this is therefore something “so specific to the female experience” that needs to be “represented by someone with lived experience of this horrible disease.”

In November 2023, Richards, who was a women’s officer within the Labour Party, was appointed as the CEO of the charity, receiving widespread backlash, not just because he was a trans-identified man, but because of repeated documentation of his concerning behaviour.

Just a month before his appointment, he posted on Twitter that he had gone up to a woman in public, later revealed to be academic Julia Long, for wearing a “t-shirt” with the slogan “Adult Human Female” on it. He then shamed her for refusing to engage with him.

Further social media incidents were then uncovered following his appointment, which showed a serious disdain for women’s single-sex spaces.

“See me in the changing room, see me in the loo, see me in the supermarket buying flowers,” Richards wrote in a 2021 tweet. “See me in the swimming pool, see me in the pub, see me on the sports field taking part in games. See you in hell if you are a #TERF – nothing will stop me strutting my stuff!”

Others identified Richards as having protested against Europe’s largest feminist conference in Portsmouth. “Say NO to hate,” Richards wrote. “Always happy to talk.”

Within his blog, Translucent, Richards revealed a history of cross-dressing from a very young age. “My sister got promoted to the newly built bedroom, and finally, I got my own bedroom. This was very convenient because my sister’s first bedroom had very loose and broken floorboards, meaning I had a hiding place for all the clothes I had started stealing from her. At night, I would remove her clothes from under the floorboards, try them on, and fantasise that I was going to grow into a beautiful young woman.”

He further admitted that he then stole his sister’s clothes at the age of twelve or thirteen, and walked through his village wearing them.

Richards also is a proponent of using puberty blockers on young children to stop them from developing secondary sex characteristics, as “childhood” like womanhood and manhood, is merely a social construct. He theorizes that he identifies as transgender because he wasn’t exposed to enough testosterone in the womb and therefore developed a “female brain,” despite the fact that this has been repeatedly debunked by scientific researchers.

Perhaps most egregiously, he told a young man who allegedly had been sexually exploited as a child by predatory adults at LGBT Youth Scotland, to “grow up,” because “no one groomed you,” even though he testified that older men would provide him with “special privileges,” cigarettes and alcohol before he was of age.

Richards left the charity a few months later, after the outpouring of pressure from concerned women’s rights advocates.

“All I could do was wait and pray that God would come and save me”

Europe, do you hear the gong of danger? Because it is not enough to pray, first we Europeans must save ourselves from ourselves
Brussels bombers on CCTV Public Domain/Wikicommons

This is how Karen Northshield, one of the survivors of the Brussels airport attack, spoke to Politico:

“All I could do was wait and pray that God would come and save me.”

It has already been ten years, so in case you forgot, on March 22, 2016, ISIS terrorists carried out coordinated suicide bombings at Brussels Airport in Zaventem and Maelbeek metro station, killing 32 people and injuring over 300.

32 dead and 300 injured.

The terrorists’ names: Ibrahim el-Bakraoui, Khalid el-Bakraoui, and Najim Laachraoui.

As the West once again finds itself staring into the abyss-this time in open war against the Islamic Republic of Iran-it is necessary to look back without indulgence. Because what happened then was the poisoned fruit of a civilization that had decided to fund its own executioners, to fight for their release, and ultimately to celebrate them as martyrs.

Israel had warned Belgian officials weeks before the attack about inadequate security measures at Brussels Zaventem airport. The warning came from Israeli officials tasked with evaluating security standards at airports operating flights to Tel Aviv. The Israelis had identified “significant deficiencies” at the airport, which just days later became the site of two deadly ISIS explosions.

A year earlier, Israel had helped London stop a Hezbollah terrorist plot.

But European neutrality-that dogmatic belief in the intrinsic goodness of others-prevailed over the instinct for survival. Only six months later, the Belgians would travel to Israel to take security lessons.

These days, Israel’s Mossad is in London helping the British with counterterrorism. A few nights ago, four Jewish Hatzola ambulances were destroyed in London.

One of the airport terrorists, Khalid el Bakraoui, when released from prison in early 2014, two years before the airport attack, received €28,000 in various social welfare benefits from the Belgian system. With that money, Khalid and his brother Ibrahim bought backpacks, nails, and detonators.

Then there was their cousin, Oussama Atar, the mastermind of the attack.

Raised in Brussels, Atar was arrested in Iraq by Americans in 2005. The Belgian government and NGOs immediately began pressuring for his release, invoking “Islamophobia,” and some NGOs spread the false claim that Atar had cancer (in reality, he was in excellent health). Among those advocating for him was liberal politician Louis Michel-former Belgian minister, deputy prime minister, foreign minister, and European Commissioner for Development, as well as father of Charles Michel, President of the European Council from 2019 to 2024.

The Belgian government pushed for the terrorist’s release despite warnings from American and French intelligence services, which considered Atar extremely dangerous.

Elected representatives from the Socialist Party, Amnesty International, and environmental groups took part in a demonstration outside the Brussels Palace of Justice on October 9, 2010, under the slogan “Save Oussama.”

The support committee included Jamal Ikazban, now head of the Socialist group in the Brussels Parliament.

Atar was released, returned to Belgium, and masterminded the killing of 32 “infidels.”

In Copenhagen, two artists lost no time in planning to stage the deeds of the brothers Ibrahim and Khaled el Bakraoui, who detonated their explosive belts at the Brussels airport check-in. Among the terrorist accessories on display was a replica of Ibrahim el Bakraoui’s leather glove, used to conceal the bomb detonator. The exhibition was inspired by Tehran’s “Museum of Martyrs,” and the suicide bombers were presented alongside historical figures who died for their cause, such as Joan of Arc and Socrates.

The West, in its aesthetic decadence, celebrates its destroyers. Moral relativism has reached its peak – or nadir: death is no longer evil but performance; fanaticism is no longer barbarism but cultural expression.

Thus, we funded terrorists through welfare, our NGOs and governments campaigned for their release from prison, and Western artists justified them by comparing them to the Maid of Orléans and the Greek philosopher.

The same elite that shouted “Save Oussama” now wonders whether using force is “excessive.” The same culture that displayed a bloodstained glove in a museum now questions whether it is “Islamophobic” to name the enemy.

Belgium chose to ignore the warning of a country-Israel-that has always lived under the threat of Islamic terrorism. Brussels, the bureaucratic heart of Europe, felt safe in its illusion of neutrality, in its dogmatic belief that dialogue, forced integration, and unilateral tolerance are enough to ward off evil.

Last week, Benjamin Netanyahu, in his first press conference on the war with Iran, said:

“Churchill said that democracies suffer from the torpor of democracy. A disease, he called it. And they only wake up when they hear the gong-the gong of danger. Well, you are hearing it. We must be strong. We must be more powerful than the barbarians, or they will not just be at the gates-they will crash through them and destroy our societies.”

It is not enough to pray that God will come to save us, as the survivor did: we must also save ourselves from ourselves.

At Brussels airport, the site of the terrorist attack, an Islamic iftar was held last week.

We are setting the table for the suicide of Europe’s civilization.

Autistic Dutch teen’s euthanization should serve as a wakeup call for Canada

Illustration AI generator

Canada’s euthanasia regime is currently the subject of the sort of debate that the country should have had back in 2016 — and experts are giving parliamentarians truly catastrophic predictions of what will come to pass if assisted suicide for mental illness comes into effect as scheduled in March 2027.

At the joint committee on assisted dying this week, Dr. Sonu Gaind, a clinical professor at the University of Toronto’s department of psychiatry and addiction, warned that the assisted suicide rate is already a “runaway train” that will get much worse if “psychiatric euthanasia” is introduced next year. Gaind noted that for conditions such as treatment-resistant depression, “MAID assessors” have an accuracy of 47%: “worse than flipping a coin.”

In addition to chilling testimony from Gaind and Dr. Trudo Lemmens, the chair of health law and policy at the University of Toronto, another nightmare case out of the Netherlands has prompted calls for policymakers to reconsider expanding euthanasia in Canada to those suffering solely from a mental illness.

A Dutch teenage boy between ages 16-18 has been euthanized just four years after being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The boy, who had requested the lethal injection, felt “joyless” and struggled with anxiety, fitting in, and hypersensitivity to stimuli. His doctor stated that he had “no doubts whatsoever” about the teen’s ability to decide to commit suicide by doctor.

“The threshold (for assisted death) in Canada is actually lower than the Netherlands,” Gaind told the National Post. “If MAID for sole mental illness is opened up in Canada, the numbers would significantly exceed what you see in the Netherlands. Once you normalize that death is an acceptable solution for the problem that some people are having — people who are not otherwise dying — then people see it as a solution, instead of other things that might help.”

According to the National Post:

MAID for psychiatric suffering has been legal in the Netherlands since 2002. Once “virtually nonexistent,” with only one or two cases per year between 2002 and 2010, the number of psychiatric euthanasia cases has risen sharply, “with a disproportionate increase among young adults and, more recently, minors,” Dutch doctors reported this month in the Psychiatric Times. “The Dutch model, once presented internationally as careful and balanced, is now attracting attention for a different reason: growing uncertainty about whether psychiatry has crossed a boundary it cannot coherently justify,” the authors wrote.

Gaind has no doubt that it has. Even the brief submitted to Canada’s special join parliamentary committee on euthanasia three years ago by psychiatrist Scott Kim estimated that suicide-by-doctor requests in Canada could be, at a minimum, 2,500 to 5,000 annually. It will likely be far higher than that, especially because Canada does not have the Dutch requirement for “due care” mandating that euthanasia applicants must have actually attempted effective treatments, and the Canadian “intolerable suffering” standard is subjective.

“Groups such as Mental Health Research Canada have warned youth mental health is in serious decline, with a ‘generation at risk’ of rising rates of depression, anxiety and suicidal thinking, and major gaps in care,” the National Post noted. “Given those factors, the approval rate for requests for MAID for mental illness in Canada could be 50 percent or higher, Kim estimated.”

“These are people who are not even 30 years old,” Gaind said of the Dutch youth seeking euthanasia. “These people are still in the developmental stages of their lives, biologically, socially and psychologically, struggling to find their place in the world, dealing with other issues that are stressing them out, including a mental illness. And somehow, in that state, we’re thinking that their wish to have their life ended by the state is potentially OK, even when it’s somebody who is too young to buy alcohol, or marijuana?”

“We can’t make predictions about whether a person’s mental illness will or won’t improve. We’re terrible at making those predictions. To say, ‘this is now a terminal psychiatric condition’ has no scientific basis. The whole concept is nebulous. In many cases, what people are seeking death for is not suffering that will never get better.”

Péter Magyar: Globalists’ Chosen Puppet In The Assault On Trump’s Strongest European Ally

Screenshot X

by Mike Robertson 

In February 2026, a massive data breach ripped open the inner workings of Péter Magyar’s Tisza Party. The fundraising platform Lunda (used by the opposition to collect donations and mobilize volunteers) spilled thousands of donor records onto the dark web forum LeakBase. Names, phone numbers, email addresses, and full transaction histories of supporters poured out, exposing not just domestic backers but a network of pro-Democrat American organizations and shadowy foreign-linked entities funneling cash into the campaign. Hungarian authorities, including the Sovereignty Protection Office, flagged connections to Ukrainian IT firms with indirect U.S. intelligence ties. This wasn’t random hacking. It was the visible fracture in what looks like a systematic, long-term, targeted operation by globalist forces and their Democrat allies to undermine a key Republican partner in Europe.

This leak, building on earlier Tisza Világ app breaches that exposed data on up to 200,000 users, confirms what Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has warned about for months: a foreign-funded assault on Hungarian sovereignty ahead of the April 12, 2026 parliamentary elections. As one classified report slated for declassification details, millions in seized cash linked to Ukrainian banks matched exactly the urgent funding appeals Magyar himself made. If this isn’t a blueprint for subversion echoing the Democrats’ playbook elsewhere, what is? It marks another front line in their dirty war against conservative governments that dare align with Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda.

The machinery behind this effort traces back decades, orchestrated by figures like former Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai. A key architect of Hungary’s post-2010 opposition, Bajnai has maintained deep ties to European elites and the U.S. Democrat establishment. In 2009, as premier, he travelled to Washington for high-level meetings with then-Vice President Joe Biden and IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn. After his electoral defeat in 2010, Bajnai relocated to Washington, D.C., teaching at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies on EU affairs. Today, he serves as a consultant for Action for Democracy, the Soros-linked group that funneled roughly $5.5 million to Hungarian opposition efforts in 2022 alone (admitted figures include $4.9 million acknowledged by prior opposition candidate Péter Márki-Zay and $2.4 million to entities like Oraculum 2020 Kft.). Bajnai stands behind a constellation of externally funded outfits pumping resources into anti-Orbán campaigns: the “Homeland and Progress” Foundation, the “Change” Association, and companies like “Benedict 2002” and the non-profit “Deydu-Art.”

Company registry extracts paint a clear picture of interconnected structures. The “Homeland and Progress” Foundation (Haza és Haladás), Bajnai’s self-described “factory of political ideas,” was established post-2010 as a think tank for opposition strategy. It received direct support, including $294,000 from the Center for American Progress ─ a Democrat-aligned Washington outfit. The “Change” Association, launched in April 2024 under the banner “Legyél a Változás!” (Be the Change!), focused on volunteer mobilization and small-donor drives via platforms like Lunda. Meanwhile, “Benedict 2002” and “Deydu-Art” operate from the same Budapest address, share overlapping board members including Bárdos Barnabás, a longtime Bajnai business partner, and function as financial and cultural conduits. Registry documents reveal these as restructured iterations of Bajnai-era entities, channeling funds into cultural projects, data operations, and political tech that now power Tisza’s ground game. Hungarian investigators have repeatedly linked Magyar’s rising movement directly to this Bajnai network, prompting Sovereignty Protection Office probes into foreign funding as far back as 2024.

All roads now lead to the “new” face of the opposition: Péter Magyar himself. Far from an accidental populist, Magyar was methodically positioned by these globalist networks to fracture Hungary’s conservative majority. A 43-year-old lawyer with deep establishment roots, he spent two decades inside the Fidesz system. His great-uncle by marriage was former President Ferenc Mádl. He served in diplomatic roles during Hungary’s 2011 EU presidency in Brussels and held high-paying leadership positions in state-owned companies until his dramatic 2024 exit. Publicly, Magyar defended the Orbán government until the explosive scandal involving state orphanage deputy director Kónya Endre, convicted of covering up serial sexual abuses against minors at the Bicske facility. The presidential pardon ─ countersigned by then-Justice Minister and Magyar’s ex-wife Judit Varga ─ ignited outrage. Magyar’s break came via leaked recordings and public spats with Varga, framing himself as the anti-corruption outsider. In reality, Brussels and its allies simply reoriented a former insider to undermine the very system he once served.

Crucially for American conservatives, a Magyar victory would directly sabotage the only European leader standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Donald Trump on energy independence, border security, and resistance to globalist overreach. Orbán has repeatedly hailed the current era as transformative. After recent meetings with U.S. officials, he declared: “A golden age has dawned in relations between the United States and Hungary.” He credits Trump’s leadership for preventing wider conflict and enabling peace efforts, noting, “Everyone knows that if Donald Trump had been the president of the United States, this war wouldn’t have broken out in the first place.” Hungary under Orbán has prioritized nuclear energy expansion, rejected mass migration quotas, and pursued “America First”-style sovereignty, policies that lock in strategic alignment with a second Trump administration.

Magyar’s camp tells a different story. His “New Deal” economic platform promises to unlock frozen EU funds (estimated at €18–20 billion) through rapid rule-of-law concessions to Brussels. Tisza’s economic team includes advisors with established ties to major multinational corporations such as Shell. There are also indications of openness toward major global asset managers like BlackRock. This points to a deliberate shift back toward the EU’s preferred transnational corporate and bureaucratic model: one that subordinates national energy policy and sovereignty to globalist priorities.

It’s time for American conservatives to view this opposition with clear eyes. Péter Magyar is no organic reformer. He is the chosen instrument of a globalist-Democrat axis determined to neutralize Trump’s strongest European partner. A Tisza-led government would erode the “golden age” Orbán has cultivated, reopen floodgates to migration pressures, and realign Hungary with the same failed EU policies that weakened the continent during the Biden years.

Full transparency is non-negotiable. Hungarian authorities must declassify remaining reports on foreign funding pipelines. U.S. oversight bodies should scrutinize American organizations implicated in the Lunda leak. America’s alliance with Hungary, forged on shared values of sovereignty, secure borders, and energy realism, hangs in the balance. Preserving this MAGA stalwart isn’t optional; it is essential to dismantling the Democrats’ global subversion machine once and for all.

Europe to Euthanize Girl Raped by Migrants; Spain’s leftist government legalizes migrants and kills their victims

“I’m the Prime Minister of Spain. This Is Why the West Needs Migrants,” Pedro Sanchez headlined his New York Times op-ed. “The West needs people. Currently, few of its countries have a rising population growth rate. Unless they embrace migration, they will experience a sharp demographic decline.”

Spain’s demographic decline is helped along by the nearly 1,000 euthanasia cases a year. Those who die are replaced with the growing flood of Muslim championed by Sanchez. The West needs people, but only certain kinds of people, and it euthanizes the wrong kind.

Spain’s population is set to shrink by one more as Noelia Castillo Ramos, a 25-year-old girl in a wheelchair, has her life ended before it even really began under the authority of the state.

Prime Minister Sanchez claimed that migrants “care for aging parents, work at small and large companies, harvest the food that’s on the table.”

Migrants also raped Noelia.

Her parents lost custody of her after they divorced when she was only thirteen and she bounced around between foster care and government shelters. At twenty-one, she was gang raped in a shelter that had been occupied by the migrants whom the Spanish government had welcomed into the country.

Noelia tried to commit suicide by jumping from the fifth floor, but survived and ended up as a paraplegic in a wheelchair. According to her father, she needs psychological help, but according to the Sanchez regime, the European Court of Human Rights and the elites, she needs to die.

An El-Pais article, Spain’s biggest papers, began with the sentence, “Noelia should be dead.”

The West needs Muslim migrants, but it doesn’t need Noelia or any of the other girls they assault. The West needs migrants, and it needs its native population to die off or be killed.

Noelia’s case has been Spain’s first legal battle over euthanasia. Her father, represented by a pro-bono Catholic legal group, has been fighting unsuccessfully for her life against the euthanizers. The girl had signed a document brought to her by two nuns requesting that she not be killed, but the hospital rushed to bring in a notary to annul the document and call for death.

After a two year legal battle, Noelia’s fate has been sealed. She has spent twelve years of her young life in the care of the state and now the state will kill her to make way for more migrants.

In 2022, the year in which Noeila was gang raped and put on the path to ending her life, tens of thousands of migrants invaded Spain, and the country ‘gained’ nearly half a million new residents in just six months, while a quarter of a million immigrated out of the country.

Most of the migrant invaders are coming from the Islamic states of Algeria, Mali, Morocco, Senegal and Somalia: where rape is habitual and non-Muslim women are seen as fair game.

There were 1,249 rapes in Spain in 2016. In 2022, the year Noelia was gang raped, there were 2,865 rapes. In 2023, rapes climbed to 4,890. The quadrupling of rapes in a country in 6 years has been with suggestions that Spain needs more feminism, legal reforms and protest rallies.

And, of course, more of the Muslim mass migration that all of these leftist groups support.

After three American tourists from Ohio were raped by Afghan migrants in Spain, the United States Embassy in Madrid issued a warning about the risk of sexual assault. The embassy warned of systematic sexual assaults “against young U.S. citizen visitors and students throughout Spain” and reported that it had dealt with six sexual assault cases in just one month.

Muslim migrants who commit sexual assaults have little to worry about from the Spanish legal system which is weighed towards migrants and against their victims.

Last year, a Senegalese Muslim migrant who raped a 14-year-old girl was released with a fine.

This year, the Sanchez regime announced a plan to legalize 500,000 migrants even as the European Court of Human Rights approved the killing of Noelia Castillo Ramos.

Spain’s government has argued that it will need 25 million migrants over the next generation. A system for rapidly and smoothly killing their victims will be equally important for the transition.

How many will have to die, hundreds of thousands, millions, to make way for the migrants?

There are more Noelias across Europe.

In the Netherlands, Noa Pothoven’s case made headlines when she repeatedly applied for euthanasia after suffering multiple rapes, and eventually starved herself to death. In France, Lola Daviet, a 12-year-old girl, was found decapitated after she was raped by a female Algerian Muslim illegal alien, then stabbed to death with scissors and stuffed into a suitcase. Lola’s father died of grief. The Muslim grooming gangs in the UK and Finland led to suicides by their victims.

The dead include Charlotte Tetley who sat down on the tracks and waited for a train after begging the NHS for help. Charlotte had suffered severe trauma after being groomed by the Pakistani Muslim members of the Rochdale grooming gang. The police, who had been accused of a cover-up in the sex grooming gang case, refused to look for her before she killed herself.

Euthanasia is the easy and simple solution to all these awkward cases that raise questions about the complicity of the authorities in the mass migration and rapes across Europe.

Muslim mass migration has sent rapes skyrocketing across Europe, and the authorities now have the ability to efficiently dispose of the victims in a hospital setting before they make too much noise. There is a price to pay for everything and leaders like Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez have decided what the price is and who will pay it. It will not be the Afghans, Somalis and Algerian Muslim migrants, but the girls they rape and discard in the streets of Spain.

The state will legalize the migrants and kill the girls.

Sanchez claimed that he’s welcoming mass migration because “the West needs people”. The West has people. It has people like Noelia. It’s killing them to get the people that it wants.

The people who will do to the West what they are doing to its girls and its children.

Some say that mass migration is national suicide. That’s not true. It’s national euthanasia.

“Allah is the greatest”: On a train between Troyes and Paris, a man armed with a knife attacked a woman before being overpowered by several passengers

Gare de Romilly-sur-Seine – Google Maps

A person armed with a knife caused a disturbance on Monday evening at 8.48 pm on a train leaving Troyes for Paris.

According to a witness, the man, who was staggering about on the train and appeared visibly unbalanced, was asked by a conductor to alight at Romilly-sur-Seine station. However, he got back on board.

He is then said to have attacked a woman, without injuring her, before being overpowered by the conductor, assisted by several passengers on the train. “I’m a nice bloke!” the man shouted, before changing his tone. In a video filmed by a passenger, he can be heard shouting “Allah is the greatest” at the moment of his arrest.

European conservative lawmakers warn of ‘no-go zones’ tied to mass immigration and Islamization

AI

A new report backed by European conservative lawmakers is sounding the alarm over what it describes as the spread of “no-go zones” across the European Union, linking the phenomenon directly to mass immigration, Islamization, and the breakdown of state authority in major urban areas.

The report was presented at a press conference on Wednesday by Sweden Democrats MEP Charlie Weimers, French nationalist MEP Marion Maréchal, and Brothers of Italy MEP Nicola Procaccini. Published by New Direction, the foundation tied to the ECR parliamentary group, the study argues that large parts of Europe are witnessing the rise of “parallel societies where the laws of the State are increasingly replaced by the codes of radicalisation and the rule of violence.”

Maréchal said the findings showed the trend was no myth. “France has 751 sensitive areas and 1,362 priority neighborhoods. Our study demonstrates that no-go zones develop according to two factors: immigration and Islamization — 63 percent of Islamist terrorists are linked to these areas,” she said at the launch event.

Procaccini described the document as “a wake-up call on the failures of uncontrolled immigration,” a line that closely echoed the report’s own foreword, which says Europe must confront “the failures of uncontrolled immigration, the lack of effective integration policies, and the abdication of responsibility by local governments.” It adds that the publication is intended to be the first in an annual series.

The study sets out a scoring system built around crime and violence, the existence of parallel societies, and evidence of state withdrawal. Using that framework, it examined 17 neighborhoods across seven EU countries, ranking France’s Franc Moisin district at the top with a score of 10, followed by La Castellane in Marseille, Molenbeek in Brussels, and Rosengard in Malmö, each with scores of 9.4. Other districts highlighted include Neukölln in Berlin, Marxloh in Duisburg, Raval in Barcelona, and Schilderswijk in The Hague.

According to the report, these areas are marked by patterns such as elevated violent crime, youth gang activity, riots, unemployment, early school leaving, attacks on police or firefighters, and emergency-service delays or refusals. The authors argue that these factors together point to places where state control has weakened, and parallel authority structures have arisen.

The report also claims a strong correlation between no-go zones and the share of foreign-born and Muslim populations, arguing that the overrepresentation of both in the studied districts reflects broader demographic and cultural changes reshaping European cities.

It says the average Muslim share in the identified areas is 29 percent, compared with an EU-wide average of 4.9 percent, and argues that no-go zones are “highly correlated to mass immigration” and “highly correlated to Islam.”

In its foreword, New Direction says the reluctance to use terms like “no-go zone” has created a divide between public debate and reality, and warns that Europe risks losing not only control of its streets but also “the very values of freedom and equality that define our civilization” if such areas continue to thrive.

The term has been used before to describe specific areas in European cities with high levels of immigration and crime. In November last year, Alternative for Germany (AfD) MP Martin Hess warned that German train stations, “once places of mobility and peaceful encounters, are increasingly becoming no-go areas. In many areas of crime, foreigners are disproportionately represented among the suspects.”

In September, a leaked recording from the Spanish town of Torelló revealed local police officers acknowledging they are unable to control violent migrant groups gathering in certain areas, and have been laughed at and forced to retreat from dispatch calls.

“They are laughing at us,” the officer said in the call. “They are throwing us out. If we don’t want to get hurt, we too [must leave],” he added, describing how officers had to withdraw after being met with hostility.

As far back as 2022, Swedish ambulance workers were threatening to refuse to go to certain neighborhoods in Stockholm due to the hostility from largely migrant populations.

“We’re worried that someone will get killed if nothing happens,” specialist nurse Linda Orrvik said at the time.

“We go to places where gun violence occurs, places where there are weapons and narcotics, and places where there are other rules than the rule of law we’re used to,” added paramedic Henrik Johansson.

Is Hungarian opposition already preparing a Plan B in case of defeat?

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán

The scandal this week involving the bugged conversations of the Hungarian foreign minister was intended to deal a fatal blow to the ruling camp in Hungary. Here is the alleged major scandal: Peter Szijjarto talks to Sergey Lavrov, supposedly selling him European Union secrets, the secrets of EU Council meetings at ministerial level. Transcripts of conversations intercepted in 2020 have been widely circulated in the European media. The problem is that, regardless of how one views contacts with Lavrov – and opinions in Europe are divided – it is difficult to find any real scandal in them.

The situation in Slovakia, the Hungarian government’s requests to the Russian government – it is hard to regard these as any great secrets. The conversation took place in 2020. Szijjártó emphasises that as many as 80 people are present at Council meetings and they all have mobile phones so its difficult to speak about any special secrets there. And the topics discussed there are widely reported in the media by the participants beforehand, and discussed at press conferences after the meetings. The Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs assured in an official statement of the “full transparency” of diplomatic activities and “loyalty to European Union partners”. There is no evidence to suggest otherwise.

The real scandal is that Szabolcs Panyi, an activist with Hungarian “non-governmental organisations” financed from abroad and opposition media outlets, is alleged to have passed on the foreign minister’s telephone number to one of Europe’s foreign intelligence services. This is the same man who published the transcript of a conversation from 2020. Panyi presents himself as an “investigative journalist”, but many observers say his actions bear no resemblance to journalism, let alone investigative journalism.

The story was revealed by the weekly Mandiner, which received an email on the matter from an anonymous informant. It contained, among other things, a recording of a conversation between Panyi and an unidentified interlocutor, a woman,  in which Panyi allegedly passes on the minister’s telephone number.  Its not clear when this conversation took place, from context it may be assumed it was last year,

The letter and the recording sent as an attachment reveal (their authenticity has been confirmed) that Szabolcs Panyi and other people associated with the opposition party TISZA are in contact with foreign secret services. Panyi denied his involvement in eavesdropping on the minister, arguing that practically everyone has the minister’s number.

Importantly, Szabolcs Panyi not only works with TISZA politicians but is also a friend of Anita Orbán (no connection to Viktor Orbán), who is tipped to become Hungary’s foreign minister should Péter Magyar win. 

The unconventional move taken by opposition figures to discredit a key FIDESZ politician may, according to the Hungarian experts I spoke to, indicate that the opposition’s plan is falling apart. Orbán weathered Magyar’s attacks and launched a counter-offensive. The attempt to create the impression, using opinion polls – which are exceptionally unreliable in Hungary and have been wrong on numerous occasions – that the outcome was already decided, has failed.

Polling organisations more sympathetic to the right, such as the Nézőpont Institute, point to a close contest or even a lead for FIDESZ and a strong showing for a potential coalition partner – the Mi Hazank party. The big showdown at the rally on March 15 did not result in a triumph for TISZA, and there is evidence that Viktor Orbán attracted more supporters. His dynamic tour of the country, which the opposition did not expect on this scale, is drawing crowds in every town.

The focus of the campaign has shifted to issues of security, energy supplies, and attitudes towards the war and Ukraine. A very strong surge of support for FIDESZ emerged from the CPAC Hungary conference. Even Polish President Karol Nawrocki broke ranks and, despite attacks at home, visited Budapest and backed the Hungarian Prime Minister. A visit by US Vice President JD Vance is expected.

The opposition has therefore decided to resort to a smear campaign. The alleged leak about a fake assassination attempt on Orbán (I reported in Brussels Signal that this was a false plot, likely concocted by Magyar’s Polish political friends), wiretaps thrown onto the table in a sensationalist tone, overt interference by the secret services of other countries, whilst simultaneously accusing the government of such actions.

It all has one common denominator: Creating the artificial impression that the elections are neither fair nor lawful. Why? My Hungarian interlocutors have no doubt: This is laying the groundwork for action following Viktor Orbán’s victory. The European establishment will likely attempt to intervene and refuse to recognise these elections, seeking to have the results annulled. It has growing experience in this: The annulment of the first round of the presidential elections in Romania and the attempt to refuse to recognise the result of the presidential elections in Poland.

Within Hungarian opposition circles, such hopes are being voiced more and more frequently, albeit unofficially.

As early as last Monday, EC spokeswoman Anitta Hipper spoke of deep concern over press reports. “We expect the Hungarian authorities to provide a full explanation of this matter,” the Brussels representative emphasised, as quoted by Reuters, regarding the talks between Szijjártó and Lavrov. She added that the disclosure of confidential information from EU meetings to third countries, especially in the current geopolitical situation, is absolutely unacceptable.

But what is key is what is being said behind the scenes in EU institutions: There are voices suggesting that if the allegations are confirmed, Hungary could face serious consequences, including political sanctions or restricted access to certain information and decision-making processes within the EU. There are also suggestions that, regardless of the election result, Brussels will attempt to oust Prime Minister Orbán. Today, he is effectively the last major obstacle to the extra-treaty restructuring of the Union towards an even more centralised structure, with even more limited sovereignty for nation states.

There are already serious indications of this. Mika Aaltola, a Finnish politician and member of the European People’s Party (EPP) group – which includes politicians from Péter Magyar’s party and the Tisza Party – wrote in a post published on X that the European Union would intervene in the Hungarian elections through legal means should FIDESZ win. He is already putting forward claims of “rigged elections”.

The politician cites Article 279 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which would allow him to request an extraordinary measure from the Court of Justice of the European Union. Exactly how Mika Aaltola envisages this is unclear.  The 279 article mentioned ‘provisional measures:’

This means that Brussels’ plan for Hungary is simple: Either it will succeed in defeating Orbán, or it will attempt not to recognise the election results. As can be seen, what is at stake is not only who will govern Hungary, but also whether voters in this country still have a real choice.

Globalist State-Sanctioned Suicide: Spain to Euthanize 25-Year-Old Gang-Rape Victim Abandoned in Migrant-Filled Juvenile Center

In an exceedingly chilling display of state overreach, a 25-year-old Barcelona woman named Noelia Castillo Ramos is scheduled to undergo euthanasia this Thursday, marking what critics call the grim endpoint of years of institutional failure and unchecked mass migration policies in Spain.

The procedure, approved under the country’s 2021 euthanasia law, follows years of severe physical and mental trauma that Noelia Castillo Ramos suffered after being gang-raped as a minor by a group of unaccompanied foreign minors while she was housed in a state-run juvenile center, the Spanish newspaper La Gaceta reported.

Rather than safeguarding vulnerable citizens, authorities appear to have enabled the very suffering they now propose to “resolve” through assisted death.

Ramos was born into a deeply dysfunctional family and spent much of her childhood and adolescence shuttled between children’s homes, a common outcome of Spain’s broken foster system. As a teenager in one such facility, she became the victim of a brutal gang rape carried out by a group of unaccompanied foreign minors—often referred to as MENAs—whose presence in these centers has repeatedly raised alarms among conservative voices.

The assault left indelible scars, both physical and psychological, setting the stage for a cascade of tragedies that the state has done little to prevent.

In 2022, overwhelmed by the horror of what happened, Ramos attempted suicide by leaping from a fifth-floor window. The fall caused irreversible spinal cord damage, rendering her paraplegic and entirely dependent on others for even the most basic daily tasks. Chronic, excruciating pain has since defined her existence, compounded by profound mental anguish that Spanish authorities have deemed sufficient grounds for euthanasia under the expanded category of “severe mental suffering.”

Ramos has repeatedly insisted that her choice is not impulsive but the result of long and painful reflection. In a recent interview with El Confidencial, she declared, “None of my family are in favor of euthanasia. I am a pillar of the family. I am leaving them suffering. But what about my suffering? The happiness of a father, a mother, or a sister shouldn’t be more important than that of a daughter or the life of a daughter.”

Her words underscore a tragic inversion of priorities, where individual autonomy is elevated above the sacred bonds of family and the duty of the state to protect life.

The family has been torn apart by this ordeal. Her mother, Yolanda Ramos, initially harbored deep reservations but has now chosen to stand by her daughter’s side during her final moments. In stark contrast, her father has waged a fierce legal battle to halt the procedure, arguing that his daughter lacks the mental clarity to make such a permanent decision.

Supported by Christian Lawyers and other pro-life advocates, he has pursued every available avenue to compel the state to offer genuine care instead of death.

Despite these efforts, Spanish courts and ultimately the European Court of Human Rights have sided with Ramos’s request, overriding parental concerns in a move that many national conservatives view as an assault on family sovereignty.

The rulings have paved the way for the Thursday procedure in Barcelona, transforming a personal tragedy into a national symbol of bureaucratic indifference. What began as a failure to protect a child has evolved into a state-sanctioned exit from the very pain the system helped create.

Throughout the controversy, Ramos has shared her perspective in several media appearances, including her final interview on Antena 3’s “Y Ahora Sonsoles” with journalist Bea Osa. She expressed relief at being allowed to proceed but emphasized that she is not encouraging others to follow her path. Her testimony has highlighted the unbearable nature of her condition while revealing the emotional toll on loved ones who must now witness the state’s intervention.

The case has ignited fierce condemnation from Spain’s right-wing populist forces. Vox party president Santiago Abascal expressed profound dismay, stating, “I’m deeply affected by this news. The State takes a daughter away from her parents. The MENAs rape her. And the solution the State gives her is to drive her to suicide.” Abascal’s remarks cut to the heart of a broader pattern: a government that imports chaos through open-border policies and then offers euthanasia as its twisted form of compassion.

Abascal did not stop there, branding the entire episode as emblematic of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s Spain. “Sánchez’s Spain is a horror movie,” he declared, linking the tragedy to years of policies that prioritize globalist migration agendas over the safety of native families. His words resonate with millions who see this not as a dignified end but as the logical conclusion of a system that first abandons its own citizens to foreign predators and then disposes of the victims.

Echoing these sentiments, Vox MEP Hermann Tertsch painted an even starker picture of systemic betrayal. “She wants to die because a pack of MENAs raped her in a state-run care center where the State took her and left her in the hands of beasts,” he wrote. “She tried to kill herself afterward and ended up disabled. And now the State is going to kill her, ‘doing her a favor.’ This poor girl has known no home or homeland, only a black pit full of monsters.”

Tertsch’s assessment highlights a recurring nightmare across Europe: the placement of unaccompanied migrant minors in facilities ill-equipped—or unwilling—to shield local children from exploitation. Spanish media outlets have notably avoided specifying the ethnic background of the attackers, yet the pattern of such assaults in state care centers mirrors grooming scandals documented in the United Kingdom, where mass migration has exacted a devastating human cost.

Conservative critics argue that this case exposes the euthanasia regime as a convenient escape hatch for a state unwilling to confront its own failures. Instead of reforming foster care, cracking down on migrant crime, or investing in genuine rehabilitation, authorities have legalized assisted suicide as the default response to suffering they themselves enabled. Ramos’s story, they contend, reveals how globalist policies erode national identity and family structures.

The 2021 euthanasia law, pushed through under Sánchez’s administration, was sold as an expansion of personal freedom. Yet in practice, it has become a tool that absolves the state of responsibility. By removing children from struggling families, exposing them to unchecked migrant violence in care homes, and later offering death as “relief,” the government has constructed what opponents label a bureaucratic death machine.

This tragedy also underscores the anti-family tilt of Spain’s current leadership. Parents who object to euthanasia find their authority stripped away by courts aligned with EU globalist mandates. The father’s unsuccessful fight, backed by traditional values, illustrates how national-conservative principles of parental rights and the sanctity of life are increasingly sidelined in favor of progressive ideology.

Ramos’s own words in her final public statements reveal a young woman caught between despair and a system that offers no real alternatives. While she maintains her decision was carefully considered, the surrounding circumstances—rooted in state neglect and migration-related violence—suggest the euthanasia is less a triumph of autonomy than a symptom of societal collapse. Her case has revived urgent questions about medical ethics, the limits of individual choice, and the state’s duty to preserve life.

Conservatives and right-wing populists warn that Spain’s trajectory under Sánchez risks normalizing the disposal of citizens deemed burdensome. The emphasis on “dignified death” masks a deeper refusal to address root causes: broken families, porous borders, and a welfare system overwhelmed by mass migration. Voices like Abascal and Tertsch represent a growing chorus demanding protection for the vulnerable rather than their elimination.

Pro-life groups and right-wing lawmakers insist that true compassion would involve securing borders, reforming juvenile facilities to prioritize citizen safety, and rejecting euthanasia in favor of robust support networks. Ramos’s fate, they argue, should serve as a cautionary tale against the anti-human consequences of globalist governance.

The story of Noelia Castillo Ramos ought not be viewed as an isolated incident but a direct result of left-liberal globalist policies that place migrant inflows and state-assisted death above the welfare of Spain’s own daughters and sons.
