Visigrad Post, “Asselborn’s remarks dismissed by Hungary and Austria”, 15 September 2016:

Hungary – After Luxembourg’s Foreign Minister Asselborn asked for Hungary’s expulsion of the European Union, the Hungarian Foreign Minister dismissed his remarks by saying that his counterpart Jean Asselborn is a “lightweight” politician “bent to destroy Europe’s security and culture”. And the Austrian Foreign Minister also reacted in favor of Hungary.

Asselborn told Germany’s Die Welt on Tuesday that the EU could not maintain its unity unless the community excluded Hungary, a country which seriously violated European values by “building a fence against refugees of war”. He also accused Hungary of curbing the freedom of the press and the independence of the judiciary, wrote Daily News Hungary.

But the Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó dismissed these remarks. “Patronizing and frustrated”, Asselborn had “long excluded himself from among politicians to be taken seriously”. He then added that on October 2, day of the referendum about the mandatory quotas in Hungary, Hungarians will give their opinion on “illegal migration, Brussels’ quota system, and on figures like Asselborn”.

The Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz disavowed his Luxembourgian counterpart remarks and said these comments are unacceptable. He explained that maybe some serious discussion might take place within the Union but messaging through the media does not contribute to the common work. He ended his comment by stating that respect is needed if we want to preserve the European peace.

Visigrad Post, Dubrovnik, Croatia – A two-day forum was attended by Croatia with heads of state and officials from twelve countries of Central and Eastern Europe, all members of the European Union, to discuss common challenges to strengthen economically and politically the area between the three seas – the Adriatic, the Baltic and the Black Sea. This was the Three Seas Initiative.

“The area between the Adriatic, the Baltic and the Black Sea is the lifeblood of Europe,” said the host of the forum, Croatian President Grabar-Kitarović. Thursday, August 25, a round table gathered in Dubrovnik, on the cost of the Adriatic Sea, the presidents of Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Slovenia, as well as ministers and deputy ministers of Austria, Czechia, Estonia, Latvia, Romania and Slovakia.

The region (BABS: Baltic – Adriatic – Black Sea) accounts for 28% of EU territory, 22% of its population but only for 10% of its GDP. Discussions about the economy have focused on the need to improve the infrastructure of the whole region and in particular energetic cooperation, mainly to promote the plurality of energy sources and reduce energy dependence. According to the Croatian President, 50 billion euros are needed to overcome the current shortcomings. However, she also drew attention to the major challenges of the region, namely the demographic decline and emigration.

Polish President Duda for his part stressed that cooperation should be extended to other areas to be sufficiently strong: culture and science as well as student exchanges must come to reinforce this cooperation. But the heart of this cooperation is the creation of a true north-south European axis, stressed the Polish president. In conclusion for his speech, Andrzej Duda announced that the next summit would be held in Poland in Wroclaw in June 2017.

Chinese and American speakers were also present. Chinese Ministerial Assistant for Foreign Affairs Liu Haixing in charge of Central and Eastern Europe region recalled that China was very interested in the development of the area. China believes it will serve her project of New Silk Road.

American General James L. Jones, president of Jones Group International and former adviser for the National Security of President Obama said that the development of the Three Seas Initiative must be an element not only for European development but also for security. General Jones stressed the use by Russia of her position as an energy supplier to increase her economic influence and to strengthen her geopolitical goals.

Visigrad Post, “Viktor Orbán: it is at the Bulgarian-Turkish border that the future of Europe will be decided”, 14 September 2016:

Bulgaria, Lesovo – Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán visited this Wednesday, 13 the Bulgarian-Turkish border, where he was awaited by his Bulgarian counterpart Boyko Borisov to join together the barbed wire fence that will soon cover the 259 kilometers of border with Turkey.

Bulgarian Prime Minister had asked the European Commission an emergency aid of EUR 160 M to protect the border. Boyko Borisov would welcome a positive response from the Commission by Friday 16, day of the summit of the 27 in Bratislava. Orbán added that if the European Union could find EUR 3 B to ensure the assistance of Turkey in managing the migration crisis, it could perhaps give some to Bulgaria…

About 13,000 migrants have been recorded in Bulgaria since the beginning of the year, 4,000 illegal migrants have been arrested, with a influx that has doubled in August. Regularly illegal migrants cross Bulgaria, without being arrested. The Hungarian Prime Minister recalled how “naive” the Brussels EU wants to welcome migrants.

Also, Borisov jousted that the fence is not a protection against Turkey, whose men are cooperative on the ground and face the same problems, but against illegal migrants, and no solution in the long term could be envisaged without the joint efforts of all EU members. Orbán assured: “Borissov can count on us in Bratislava. Europe’s future is not decided in Brussels but here.”

Visigrad Post, “Norbert Hofer in Prague: Austria should join the V4”, 13 September 2016:

Czechia, Prague – President Miloš Zeman received the Austrian FPÖ candidate Norbert Hofer on Monday, September 12. The “friendly visit” was concluded by the wish to strengthen Central Europe and enlarge the Visegrád group by including Austria, and President Zeman gave his support to Norbert Hofer in the Austrian presidential election.

On Monday, September 12, President Miloš Zeman received at the Castle of Prague the candidate Norbert G. Hofer, running for the presidential election of Austria. After the counting of the mail-in ballots, Mr. Hofer lost the second round of the election but this vote got eventually cancelled due to many irregularities. The vote is planned to be hold on December 4.

Mr. Zeman and Hofer discussed several topics as the Beneš decrees, which provided for the confiscation of the property of collaborators, traitors, ethnic Germans and Hungarians, except for those who themselves suffered under the Nazis. They also formed a basis for the transfer of the former groups from Czechoslovakia, recalled the Prague Monitor.

After their one hour-long discussion, Mr. Hofer said the meeting took place in a wonderful atmosphere, and he expressed his wish to enlarge the Visegrád group with the adhesion of Austria, once he’d be president. This would give more voice to Central Europe which should have more power, according to Mr. Hofer. The spokesperson of President Zeman, Jiří Ovčáček, declared that Mr. Hofer were pledging for “a Union within the Union”.

“Let us show the media covering the event that not all British people are traitors to their birth right, and that not all Londoners are spineless, cowardly wimps.  Come along and let’s have some fun!  Let the world know what we think of these wealthy, I’m-alright-Jack liberals, these selfish, shallow, short sighted, stupid puppets of the bankers -  let’s jeer them and lets call Eddie Izzard a lizard and Bob Geldof a rat!”

- An email from our indefatigably patriotic and energetic friend Jez Turner, which arrived on Thursday about a little political activism in central London today.

Thousands of pro-Europe protesters flooded Britain’s cities today - leading to counter-demonstrations from Brexit voters. 

In typically British scenes, a man in tweed held a Union Flag aloft in Parliament Square, while in Bristol hundreds trooped through the streets under steady rain.

The March for Europe was launched to ratchet up pressure on the Government to delay activating Article 50, the formal process of leaving the EU.

Simultaneous rallies supporting close economic, cultural and social links to Europe are taking place in Edinburgh, Birmingham, Oxford, and Cambridge.

In London, Eddie Izzard’s pink beret became the centre of police attention after it was stolen off his head along with his bag.

... Campaigners marched from Hyde Park and through Whitehall to the Houses of Parliament, where a debate on whether a second EU referendum should take place will be held on Monday.

It comes after an online petition garnered more than four million signatures after the vote to leave the EU in June, but an official Government response to the campaign said the Brexit decision ‘must be respected’.

TNO, “Leaked Report Links Turkey to ISIS”, 17 August 2016:

A top-secret German intelligence report, accidentally leaked to the public, has described Turkey as a “platform” for Islamists, and revealed that country’s official support for the ISIS-aligned Al Nusra Front in Syria.

In addition, the report said there was an “ideological affinity” between the Turkish government and Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood.

The classified Bundesnachtrictendienst (BND) report was sent by accident to a lawmaker by a junior bureaucrat, and was then given to the public broadcaster ARD for dissemination.

The report noted that “the numerous statements of solidarity and action of support for the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and groups of armed Islamist opposition in Syria, by the ruling party AKP and President [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan, underline their ideological affinity to the Muslim Brotherhood.

“As a result of a gradual Islamisation of domestic and foreign policy of Ankara since 2011, Turkey has developed into a central action platform for Islamist groups of the Near and Mid-East regions.”

Furthermore, the report revealed that the Turkish government has cooperated “for years with Islamist and terrorist organizations in the Middle East”—and that this policy is “actively supported by Erdogan.”

TNO, “25% “German” ISIS are Turks” 17 August 2016:

At least 25 percent of all legally-resident nonwhites living in Germany who volunteered for active service with ISIS are Turks, the government has admitted.

The statistics come just one day after a secret German government report was leaked revealing Turkey’s extensive ties to the Al-Nusra Islamist terrorists in Syria.

According to German media reports, a “significant portion” of the recruits from Germany who went to fight for the Islamic State (ISIS) “were of a Turkish background.”

The statistics emerged from an answer from a parliamentary question submitted to the Federal Government by the far-left Die Linke party in the Bundestag.

“According to the findings of the security agencies, about a quarter of the 760 German [sic] Islamists and Islamists from Germany who travelled to Syria / Iraq in 2015, were of Turkish citizenship or of Turkish origin,” the official Interior Ministry response said.

In absolute terms, this means that at least 190 ISIS fighters recruited from Germany were Turks.

EP President Schulz: “Germany exists only in order to ensure the existence of the Jewish people.”

TNO, “UK: Massive Nonwhite Vote Fraud”, 14 August 2016:

There were at least 665 cases of electoral fraud in the UK last year, all of them among the Pakistani and Bangladeshi colonizers of Britain—and the authorities are too scared to do anything about it for fear of being called racist, a British government-commissioned report has said.

The report titled “Securing the ballot,” said that authorities are in a “state of denial” and are “turning a blind eye to election fraud in Muslim communities.”

Former Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Sir Eric Pickles MP, was asked by the UK government last year to consider what further changes were needed to make the electoral system more secure.

The request for the report came in the aftermath of a 2015 court judgment which ruled that the completely nonwhite colonized local authority of Tower Hamlets in London had been the scene of extensive fraud.

In that case, the court ordered the disqualification of the elected mayor, Pakistan-born Lutfur Rahman, for being “personally guilty” of “corrupt or illegal practices, or both” under the Representation of the People Act 1983.

There have been a very large number of similar cases all across the UK going back many years, and as the nonwhite population grows in size, so have the number of these incidents increased.

Election fraud “has been allowed to take place” among the nonwhites in Britain because of “political correctness.”

The report said that that there is evidence of voter fraud “especially in communities of Pakistani and Bangladeshi background” but that the cases have been ignored because of “over-sensitivities about ethnicity and religion.”

It warned that there are “challenging issues” over community cohesion but they should never be an “excuse” for failing to “uphold the rule of law and protect British liberties.”

The report, submitted to the British Prime Minister’s office, says that voters should be compelled to produce identification when voting, and that there should be “police cordons around polling stations to prevent intimidation.”
