Allah's Willing Executioners

The Polish government has seized the bank accounts of the Independent Media Foundation, a vehicle for financing the independent conservative broadcaster TV Republika. 

The Independent Media Foundation is a vehicle used by the broadcaster to raise funds from the public and commercial sponsors for its activities. 

The broadcaster alleges that the government has acted illegally by ignoring a complaint filed by TV Republika with an administrative court and by issuing a decision without the legally required signatures. 

TV Republika is Poland’s most popular news channel which has regularly criticized the Tusk government and which does not hide its sympathy towards the Conservative (PiS) opposition.

It has in recent months seen its journalists harassed with frequent interrogations by public prosecutors controlled by the centre-left government led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk and with the triggering of false alarms involving the homes of the broadcaster’s journalists. 

The Tusk administration’s action to seize the accounts of the Independent Media Foundation were made in association with an investigation with regard to TV Republika receiving 1,3 million Euros of public funding during the lifetime of the last PiS government for a project to monitor the 2023 parliamentary elections, funding which the current government is attempting to recover. 

The government’s auditors claim that the grant had been made in an irregular way, though an initial audit by the previous government showed that the foundation had delivered training for 9,000 rather than the 3,000 envisaged in the grant’s contract and that some of the literature produced by the project was biased. 

The CEO of TV Republika Tomasz Sakiewicz when asked by reporters why he felt the government had pursued this course of action he replied that this is an attempt by the government to cut off the channel from sources of funding. 

“A direct, full-scale attack on Telewizja Republika has begun,that is how this should be understood.They believed they had no other choice because. TV Republika has become such an important player in the media landscape that, without destroying us, they will not be able to stay in power, even with such a weak opposition,” said Sakiewicz.

According to Sakiewicz the government’s actions are targeted at harming the channel and depriving it of the right to defend itself by attempting to stop its funding. 

The foundation which has had its assets seized was not served with the mandatory written warning seven days in advance of any action taken.

Sakiewicz maintains that the foundation’s accounts were seized without it being served with a copy of the enforcement order.

The foundation filed a challenge in the local administrative court on June 20 but the government did not wait for the court’s decision and proceeded to seize the accounts. 

The broadcaster’s CEO also maintains that the decision issued in the name of the government is legally invalid because it does not contain a qualified electronic signature. 

“In Poland, there are only two valid forms of signature – a handwritten one or a qualified electronic one. This decision contains neither; it is merely a computer printout. This means that the tax official who acted on the basis of such a document has committed a criminal offence,” Sakiewicz argued.

The funds that became the subject of the seizure were allocated to a project training election observers and members of polling station commissions.

Sakiewicz argued that targeting such a project demonstrates an attempt to undermine election oversight.

“An attack on a project devoted to election security and training people to safeguard fair elections shows what they are preparing for the elections. They intend to target everyone who wants to protect the integrity of the vote, and this is the first such attack,” said Sakiewicz.

Sakiewicz however also said that more than a year ago TV Republika had already ended its cooperation with the Independent Media Foundation in fundraising, anticipating that “the authorities could resort to such lawless actions”, adding that the broadcaster is now establishing new entities in Poland and abroad to protect its financial independence.

The broadcaster raises significant funds directly from its viewers and since 2025 it has been encouraging its supporters to donate directly to its bank accounts rather than to the foundation. 

Tomasz Sakiewicz declared that those responsible for the seizure of the foundation’s assets would face legal consequences and argued that officials who violate the law will not escape accountability.

“The Independent Media Foundation, TV Republika, and other entities within our group, following the unlawful seizure of the Foundation’s bank accounts, are taking decisive legal action against those responsible for these acts,” reads a joint statement by Joanna Jenerowicz, CEO of the foundation and Tomasz Sakiewicz, CEO of TV Republika.

“We are filing a complaint regarding these unprecedented actions, which threaten freedom of speech and economic freedom, and we are informing the courts already handling this case that the account freezes were imposed without their consent”, continues the statement. 

“ At the same time, due to the abuse of authority and the deliberate actions taken to the detriment of our Foundation and affiliated companies, we are filing a criminal complaint with the prosecutor’s office.”

The broadcaster and the foundation have also warned that they are ready and willing to take the case to the international level. 

The Foundation and TV Republika have partners and donors in the United States. For this reason, our American attorneys are preparing legal proceedings in the United States against those whose actions have harmed these partners and donors. Individuals responsible for material damages will also face appropriate civil claims for compensation”, informs the statement. 

TV Republika has close relations with conservative Republican circles in the USA close to the US President Donald Trump. 

The Trump administration is an ally of the opposition PiS aligned President Karol Nawrocki but has been highly critical of the present Polish government over its treatment of the media and attempts to overturn judicial appointments made during the lifetime of the last administration. 

Tusk himself is persona non grata in the White House for his calling Trump a Russian asset.

According to figures from Germany’s Federal Foreign Office, Berlin granted 53,598 family reunification visas during the first half of 2026, even though the government of Friedrich Merz had announced the suspension of this entry route.

The figure contrasts with the statements made during the federal election campaign. In April 2025, a month before taking office as Chancellor, Merz declared on X that his government would “manage and control migration better” and “suspend family reunification.”

Family reunification was suspended for two years on June 27, 2025, with Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder insisting on television that it amounted to “a return to the way things were before 2015 when it comes to law and order.”

The official records, however, show a gradual decline rather than a halt. In the first half of 2024, 63,637 visas of this type were granted; in the same period of 2025, around 57,000, a 10% drop; and in the first semester of 2026, a slightly lower figure. If the same pace is maintained in the second semester, the annual total would once again exceed 100,000 arrivals through this route.

The discrepancy between what has been promised and the figures is explained by the actual scope of the measure. The approved suspension affects only beneficiaries of subsidiary protection, a status granted to those who obtain neither the right to asylum nor recognition as refugees, but who could suffer serious harm if returned to their country of origin. It is a subgroup within the broader category of family reunification, not the whole of it.

Recognized refugees and people entitled to asylum therefore retain their usual reunification conditions. German diplomatic missions can also continue to issue visas in cases of particular hardship, under sections 22 and 23 of the Residence Act.

The key point here is that, since the 2015 crisis, many of those formerly known as “economic migrants” began applying for refugee status. A status that, moreover, does not usually extend beyond four years in most cases without a compelling cause. As has become clear over time, many of those who came under refugee status (whether genuine or not) end up staying in Europe.

The available breakdown confirms the weight of the unaffected categories. Between January and May 2026, Germany issued 7,946 reunification visas for spouses of German citizens and another 35,793 for general family reunification, adding up to 43,739 before June’s data is included. None of these categories form part of the suspended segment.

The suspension of reunification for those under subsidiary protection was one of the central migration measures in the program of the Merz coalition. Its implementation is yet another example of the wide gap between what was promised during the campaign and what is currently happening in Germany.

A woman who shouted abuse at Nigel Farage from her car immediately crashed into the vehicle in front after taking her eyes off the road.

The incident took place while the Reform UK leader was campaigning in Clacton, Essex, and was captured on video by his campaign team.

As she drove past, the woman wound down her window and shouted “wanker” at Farage before continuing down the road.

Seconds later, she failed to notice traffic had stopped at a red light and rear-ended the car in front of her.

Farage watched the incident unfold before quipping: “She won’t be doing that again in a hurry.”

The Reform UK leader later described the collision as “instant karma.”

The incident comes amid heightened security concerns surrounding Farage and Reform UK.

Farage is currently campaigning in the Clacton by-election, which was triggered after he resigned his parliamentary seat to seek a fresh mandate from voters.

He has said he receives hundreds of threats each month from left-wing activist, while the party has increased security following the murder of former Conservative minister and Reform UK spokeswoman Ann Widdecombe.

A 28-year-old man is accused of killing Widdecombe after striking her 21 times on the head with a hammer.

He is alleged to have driven from his home in Rotherham, entered the bungalow through the front door, remained inside for around two minutes and then left with Widdecombe’s wallet.

Widdecombe was discovered the following morning by her gardener, lying on the kitchen floor of her home. Emergency services pronounced her dead at the scene.

 A French bishop has blocked the use of a Catholic church for an electronic music concert after organizers planned the event without seeking permission from the parish or the diocese for the fourth year running.

On July 23, Bishop Alexandre de Bucy of Agen, France, formally refused to allow a music festival to stage concerts inside the Church of Saint-Robert in the village of Saint-Robert, near Agen in southwestern France. The parish priest had publicly objected to the plans, describing them as a “profanation.” The dispute concerns concerts scheduled for August 7-9 as part of the “Festival Guyenne,” organized by the association L’Affinité des sols.

“This is a profanation,” parish priest Father Gilles N’Goran said, according to French magazine Valeurs Actuelles. The priest stated that he had not been consulted at any time regarding the proposed use of the church, while the Diocese of Agen did not receive any request from the organizers.

The Diocese of Agen subsequently confirmed its opposition to the event and issued an official statement, explaining that the bishop did not authorize the opening of Saint-Robert’s church for the festival performances.

“The planned program is not compatible with the sacred character of the place and shows no connection to the church’s sacred and spiritual dimension,” de Bucy’s statement reads.

Furthermore, “during the last three editions of the festival, concerts were held in the church without any official authorization request being submitted beforehand to the parish or the diocese, which, on our side, has resulted in a loss of trust,” de Bucy explained.

Under France’s 1905 Law on the Separation of Church and State, several churches built before the 1905 legislation belong to the local municipalities. However, this state ownership does not mean that municipalities can use the church buildings freely; they remain legally “assigned to worship” and are placed at the disposal of the Catholic Church for its purposes. This status also requires that their religious character be respected.

According to Canon law, a church is defined as a sacred building designated for divine worship. Furthermore, Canon 1210 states that only acts serving or promoting worship, piety, or religion are permitted in a sacred place, and anything incompatible with the holiness of the site is “forbidden.”

In France, acts of desecration and the improper use of consecrated buildings have become commonplace, often met with the inaction or approval of bishops and priests. On June 6 and 7, several historic Paris churches were used during the “Nuit Blanche” festival to host exhibitions featuring voodoo-inspired objects and unsettling soundscapes, all approved by the Archdiocese of Paris. Visitors described the atmosphere as disturbing while Catholic protesters praying peacefully outside the Church of Saint-Laurent were forcefully dispersed by police.

The United States and the United Kingdom are under attack from within.  Consider a small sampling of recent stories that the corporate news media have mostly ignored: 

Communist commentator Hasan Piker — an America-hating, Muslim anchor baby who grew up in Istanbul — continues to tell his followers that the United States deserved 9/11, while celebrating Antifa domestic terrorism and left-wing assassination culture.  After a left-winger allegedly murdered well-known British conservative Ann Widdecombe by bashing her head with a hammer twenty-one times, an Islamic supremacy group called Palestine Action began offering “direct action” training for fellow leftists who wish to learn how to use a hammer to effect “necessary change.”  Linda Sarsour — another America-hating, Muslim anchor baby — wants to burn the Declaration of Independence and “build a document” that celebrates her Islamic supremacist “values.”  An unemployed Ethiopian man somehow living in Minnesota murdered three workers at an apartment complex before blaming “the American system,” racism, and xenophobia.  (Foreign immigrants sure do learn the “woke” victim-blaming routine fast!)  The British government continues to overwhelm small villages by dumping unvetted, military-aged, Islamic males into “refugee” camps filled with many times more “asylum”-seekers than there are villagers.  In the English countryside, creepy migrant males track women and little girls for miles while making threatening, sexual noises.  

This is nuts.  The above stories, unfortunately, are just representative examples of a much larger number of similarly shocking stories coming from the U.S. and the U.K. in the last couple of weeks.  Every day, communists, Islamists, and other left-wingers encourage or perpetrate violence against Americans and Brits.  This is no way to live.  

Can you imagine Americans or Brits from the WWII-generation limply standing by and holding their tongues while foreigners waged war against their countries?  Because that’s what this is — war!  Foreign men who do not belong in the United States or the United Kingdom rob, rape, and murder Americans and Brits.  Then left-wing pundits use their platforms to explain to their brainwashed listeners that Americans and Brits deserve to be robbed, raped, and murdered.  Eighty years ago, foreigners who celebrated grotesque violence against their host countries would have been tossed into the sea.  Now they are handed citizenship, while collaborator-politicians treat them as sympathetic “victims.”

How much longer can this continue?  When will the day come when American and British citizens finally decide that protecting their countries from foreign invasion is more important than minimizing the risk of being called a “bigot”?  These insults — “racist,” “fascist,” “nationalist,” among others — are ludicrously hollow if the price of avoiding them means doing nothing while our countries are destroyed.  

Must Brits really allow Muslim rape gangs to target their daughters in the name of “multiculturalism”?  Must Americans really tolerate Islamic supremacists who celebrate 9/11 in order to demonstrate their commitment to “diversity” and “inclusion”?  Must English-speaking peoples really allow themselves to be conquered by non-English-speaking peoples in order to prove that they are “tolerant”?  Must we really all “coexist” with foreigners who have no desire to “coexist” with us?

This has gotten so absurd.  When an invading army is raping and murdering your countrymen, you don’t take sides with the invaders.  You don’t honor the invaders’ culture; you defend your own.  You don’t disparage your own people as “bigots” and “racists” for simply not wanting to be raped or murdered.  You don’t look past all the raping and murdering and conclude, “Borders are racist; we should really invite more rapists and murderers into the country.”  People who wish to survive the future are going to have to wake up, grow a spine, and acknowledge that they have been under attack for quite some time.

America has distinct advantages over Britain.  Because it is a much larger country, America cannot be conquered all at once.  Because Americans have a Second Amendment that protects their God-given right to self-defense, they do not depend upon mealy-mouthed government authorities to keep them safe.  But in both nations, the threat is the same: Successive generations of government officials have invited foreign nationals to conquer their lands.

There are all kinds of reasons why these traitors might have done so.  Some really do despise Western civilization and wish to see it disappear.  Others are so enamored of cosmopolitan variety that they probably think little English villages are better off with Pakistani flair.  Many are committed to depopulating the planet but find that the more successful they are in preventing their own people from having babies, the more desperate they are for foreigners to fill in labor force gaps.  However, most of these American and British traitors who have spent decades inviting foreigners to invade their own countries did so for the age-old lusts of power and money.  

Inviting waves of poor foreigners into Britain and America has driven down working wages, while driving up the price of homes and basic necessities.  Wealthy people with assets don’t defend mass immigration policies because they’re compassionate; they defend those policies because they’re greedy.  While the cost of assets in the U.K. and the U.S. has risen during decades of open borders, those armies of third-worlders have also turned into reliable voting blocs and street fighters for unscrupulous politicians.  Dividing voters into quarreling groups distracts citizens while giving government officials new justifications for an expansive surveillance state.  Consequently, armies of foreigners have made domestic politicians wealthier and more powerful (at least, in the short term).

However much government officials have profited by betraying their own citizens, the day is approaching when the bill for their decades-long betrayals will come due.  

Britain’s government has spent the last five years trying to get their citizens worked up about an impending Russian invasion.  Politicians and corporate talking heads — many of whom spent the previous decade mocking the Russian Federation for being a third-world “petrol station” destined to collapse — regularly tell Brits that Russian soldiers will soon be at their front doors.  In turn, those politicians and pundits have expected patriotic Brits to catch a “Russophobia” fever and rally around the Union Jack while supporting Westminster’s warmongering.  The problem is, of course, that British authorities have demonized patriotic Brits for waving their nation’s flag for so many years that there is little enthusiasm for fighting a foreign war.  It turns out that native Brits aren’t thrilled about dying for a government that prefers Pakistani, Iranian, Indian, and “Palestinian” flags to those that fly over England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales.

One must wonder whether British and American globalists ever considered the possibility that normal people do not put their lives on the line for “multiculturalism.”  They do not run up hills in defense of “diversity, inclusion, and equity.”  When governments defame citizens as “racists,” “bigots,” and “fascists,” citizens don’t have much interest in defending their slanderous governments.  When political leaders condemn the people for being “nationalists,” they shouldn’t be surprised when the people become less inclined to defend the nation.  How could politicians reasonably expect citizens to sacrifice themselves for their homelands when those same politicians have already traitorously handed the people’s homelands over to foreigners?  

From the point of view of a lot of Brits and Americans, it makes no sense to fight foreign wars when war is already brewing right at home.  And it makes even less sense to fight for the very governments that have invited raping, murderous foreigners inside the nation’s gates.  When Islamic supremacists openly celebrate 9/11 while enjoying all the benefits of living inside the United States, Americans know the enemy walks among them.  When British authorities cover up the atrocities of Muslim rape gangs, Brits know Whitehall can’t be trusted.  The cost of government betrayal is high and will only continue to rise.

A failed asylum seeker who raped a schoolgirl has claimed he cannot be deported back to Egypt because he is bisexual.

Karam Majdi was jailed for seven years in May 2018 after being convicted of raping the 14-year-old following a six-day trial at Brighton Crown Court.

Majdi, a student who was living at an address in Seafield Road, Hove, at the time of his arrest in 2017, met the schoolgirl at East Croydon station before travelling to a nearby hostel, where he raped her.

Now, the 27-year-old has told a tribunal he cannot be deported after claiming his sexuality would lead to him being persecuted in Egypt.

At a deportation tribunal on Thursday, it was heard he was deemed “high risk to children” during his imprisonment, reports MailOnline.

Representing the Home Office, George Mavrantonis, said: “Since 2021 he claimed to be bisexual. It is an embellishment, a fabrication for the asylum claim.

“In a report from 2019, the appellant reported to not currently be in a relationship, having dated girls that he has met on social media.

“There is only evidence towards his attraction to girls and none towards men. The sexuality claim must feign under the circumstances.”

Majdi allegedly lied to officials, claiming he was an unaccompanied child from Syria who had been fighting in Aleppo when he arrived in the UK by small boat in 2016.

He claimed his family had paid for his passage to Britain and paid for his solicitor during his asylum claim.

However, the Home Office rejected his application for asylum after disputing his claims to be from Syria.

Majdi had lied about being from Syria when he arrived in the UK, according to immigration authorities.

At this week’s tribunal hearing at Field House in central London, Majdi opted to defend himself under cross-examination and refused an interpreter.

Majdi “refused to be open” about his alleged sexuality and told the court he previously had relationships with two men.

However, he could not provide any evidence for these relationships, claiming any photos or texts were lost after he misplaced his iPhone SIM card.

He told the court: “Since we broke up, we do not speak. I’ve nothing else to say because we have no contact.”

The court also heard he had been convicted of further offences since his release from prison, including cocaine possession and driving without a licence and insurance.

Majdi, who continued to insist he was Syrian throughout the hearing, told the tribunal his identity document from Aleppo was obtained from a man he met at a mosque in Northampton.

However, Mr Mavrantonis questioned the authenticity of the document.

He added that even if it were genuine and Majdi was born in Syria, the country is no longer under the control of Islamic State or former President Bashar al-Assad, meaning it is no longer a threat to returning citizens.

Majdi’s claims of his sexuality and nationality will be ruled on in a judgement by next month.

In a statement after his trial in 2018, the victim’s mother added: “This incident has put an almighty strain on the family and has impacted on us all.

“What happened to our daughter was awful and sickening and something no child should go through, or parent have to deal with.

“I want to thank Detective Constable Stewart Cameron and PC Mark Green for all the hard work they did to help get the justice in this case and we hope that the sentence reflects the pain and trauma she has been put through.”

Sanctuary cities arose in the U.S. as part of a Marxist effort to protect its allies in Latin America. They grew because the federal government would occasionally make some fitful effort to deport illegal aliens.

There hasn’t been a need for sanctuary cities in the UK because the government generally didn’t deport anyone and when it tried, the EU would step in and declare that deporting rapists, terrorists and terrorist rapists violated their ‘human rights’ which entitled them to stay in the UK regardless of whether they had any right to be there because sending them back home was unthinkable.

Then Brexit happened and more recently, PM Keir Starmer, in a desperate effort to turn around his approval ratings, began making big boy noises about deporting illegals. Nothing much happened. But the rise of the ‘Greens’, the UK equivalent of the DSA, an Islamist-Marxist alliance, as a viable opposition had them figuring out how to go further Left of open borders. And so…

Lewisham council could be the first in the UK to ban its administration from cooperating with the Home Office on immigration raids.

A motion is being debated today, which would commit the Green run council to systematically review its work with immigration enforcement and refuse to assist raids “wherever legally possible”.

The mayor of Lewisham, Liam Shrivastava says it is part of the council’s attempts to “protect our diverse communities from Labour’s anti-migrant onslaught.”

He told ITV News London:

“The motion makes very clear that we are London’s first borough of sanctuary, we’re very proud of that but we don’t just want to be a borough of sanctuary in name but also in practice.”

The motion further commits Lewisham to working with Lambeth and other Green-led councils to build an anti-raids “Sanctuary corridor” across London.

This would involve collaborating with migrant organisations, anti-raids networks, law centres, faith and community groups to share best practise and policies.

The American Left did give them a pretty comprehensive package of measures to copy. Lewisham is a borough in London with a 7.5% Muslim population and they clearly intend to go for 75%.

On Wednesday evening, the police raided a flat in Zwickau. This followed a tip-off about an imminent serious crime. The newspaper ‘Freie Presse’ was the first to report on the incident. As the police confirmed in response to an enquiry from MDR SACHSEN, the suspected perpetrator is believed to be a 13-year-old child.
According to the police, the suspect was located in the flat. The suspicion could not initially be confirmed at the scene. The child and another person reportedly accompanied the police voluntarily. The minor is due to be interviewed on Thursday. The operation on Wednesday evening was therefore a precautionary measure. No formal investigation has been launched, but the Saxony State Criminal Police Office (LKA) is continuing to look into the incident. The spokesperson for the state criminal police office did not provide any details regarding possible next steps.

Elon Musk has said he would be willing to fund Mel Gibson with $100 million to make a historically accurate adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey.

On July 22, Musk responded to a post by X user John Carter who wrote the following: “I want Elon Musk to give Mel Gibson $100 million to film an Odyssey adaptation with painstakingly historically accurate ships, armour, weapons, and casting, with all dialogue taken straight from the original poem and delivered in Homeric Greek.”

Musk replied by stating, “I’m down.”

However, whether Musk’s pledge amounts to a firm offer is unclear. Shortly after this reply, he responded to a scene of the Odyssey created by his AI model Grok Imagine. Musk wrote: “Before this year ends, Grok Imagine will make a full-length movie of The Odyssey that is historically accurate and true to the art of Homer.”

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey adaptation has been heavily criticized, especially due to its “woke” DEI casting, including a role for gender-confused actress Ellen “Elliot” Page. The movie was also under fire for multiple historical inaccuracies, such as using armor that did not fit the time the story was set in.

Some of Gibson’s films, on the other hand, are lauded for their historical accuracy, like The Passion of the Christ, in which actors speak in Aramaic and Latin, in accordance with the practice in the Holy Land in the first century. In Mel Gibson-directed blockbuster Apocalypto, which is set in 1511 in Latin America, all the actors are native Americans who only speak Mayan.

Even if Musk made an offer to fund Gibson’s version of The Odyssey, it remains unknown whether the director would accept the project. He recently finished the filming of The Resurrection of the Christ, the much-anticipated sequel to The Passion of the Christ, which is scheduled to be released in two parts on May 6, 2027, and May 25, 2028.

The European Commission has refused to register the “Save Europe Act”, a European Citizens’ Initiative calling for a moratorium on new immigration from non-Western countries and a fundamental reform of the EU’s migration and asylum system.

The initiative was launched by Austrian activist Martin Sellner and Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek. Its organisers say it has already gathered more than 580,000 signatures.

The Commission ruled that the initiative failed to meet the legal requirements for registration as a European Citizens’ Initiative.

It said the proposal’s call for a moratorium on immigration from “non-Western countries”, including for study and family reunification, and its reference to the “ethnic and cultural continuity” of Europe’s “native peoples” would amount to discrimination based on race or ethnic origin.

The Commission also objected to the initiative’s claim that Europe was facing a “demographic exchange” caused by non-Western and non-European migrants.

Under EU rules, a European Citizens’ Initiative must comply with the EU Treaties and the Charter of Fundamental Rights. The Commission said the Save Europe Act was “manifestly contrary” to the values of the Union and therefore could not be registered.

The decision means that the campaign cannot use the formal European Citizens’ Initiative mechanism, which allows citizens to ask the Commission to propose legislation after collecting at least one million signatures from at least seven EU member states.

Sellner and Vlaardingerbroek condemned the decision.

“We will not back down,” Vlaardingerbroek said in a post announcing the Commission’s decision. The organisers accused Brussels of rejecting the views of “nearly 600,000 European patriots” and described the move as an attack on democratic rights.

The official X account of the Save Europe Act stated “According to them, wanting to halt open-ended non-Western mass immigration and protect the demographic continuity of Europe’s peoples is “racial discrimination” of third nationals and goes “contrary to EU values.”

“Their motivation is vague, weak and telling of their true anti-democratic nature. We will not stop here. We are going to take action against this decision. The fight continues. Europe’s peoples are not required to accept their own demographic disappearance as a ‘value.’”

The Commission’s decision followed a warning sent to the organisers in June, when it said the initiative’s proposals appeared incompatible with the EU’s fundamental rights and values. The campaigners responded by continuing to collect signatures and said they would not change their demands.

The initiative had called for an end to what it described as open-ended “non-Western mass immigration” and for a reform of the EU’s migration and asylum system. Its organisers also called for policies based on preserving the “ethnic and cultural continuity” of Europe’s indigenous populations.

The Commission’s decision comes as EU migration policy itself is undergoing major changes. The EU’s Pact on Migration and Asylum entered into application in June, introducing common rules on screening, asylum procedures, border management and returns.

Brussels has also presented a five-year strategy that combines efforts to reduce irregular migration and improve returns with legal migration routes and the protection of people fleeing persecution.

The European Citizens’ Initiative is the EU’s formal mechanism for allowing citizens to propose changes to European policy.

Once an initiative is registered, organisers have 12 months to collect at least one million verified signatures from citizens in at least seven member states. If they reach that threshold, the European Commission must examine the proposal and issue a formal response, although it is not legally obliged to adopt the requested legislation.

Brussels has previously registered initiatives calling for EU-backed access to abortion, an EU-wide ban on so called “conversion practices”, the abolition of cages in animal farming, restrictions on fossil-fuel advertising and the removal of water services from market liberalisation. Several of these campaigns went on to collect more than one million signatures and receive formal responses from the Commission.

The European Commission rejected the registration of the @SaveEuropeAct.

They claim it’s “racist” and goes against “European values” to want to keep Europe, European.

We’re not accepting the madness anymore.

Europe belongs to us.

See you in court. pic.twitter.com/OoqE5W5xBw
