Illegal migrations have become an issue on which elections are won or lost in Europe

Illegal migrants have not been ‘warmly welcomed’ in the EU for several years now. The constitutional obligation to protect external (state) borders has replaced the imagined globalist ‘right’ that everyone who sets out on a journey must find their place and care in Europe. Even if they enter illegally, even if they conceal their identity, even if they come with bad intentions.

After realizing that European borders cannot be effectively (re)protected at the border itself (what wisdom was needed for that!), the EU is entering a new phase of policy towards illegal migrations. Countries through which the largest number of illegal migrants arrive will be paid to be European ‘police’. They will be paid not to encourage illegal transportation of migrants to Europe in collusion with local criminal networks as before, but to stop and discourage illegal migrants from heading to Europe in collaboration with the EU. The focus of the new approach is on North African countries from which the Mediterranean migration route begins. Contractual arrangements of the European Commission with Tunisia will soon be signed, and similar ones are expected with Morocco and Egypt.

Abundant financial packages for Africa

If you had suggested three or four years ago that the EC start paying countries that send migrants, effectively corrupting their political establishment, you would have immediately been labeled a political radical. And networked NGOs, created to implement globalist agendas, would have launched a campaign against you for wanting to hand over refugees to inhumane practices of regimes that are not exactly champions of human rights. But now the EC does not ask about the price or the human rights of illegal migrants. Ursula von der Leyen is ready to offer Tunisia, Morocco, and Egypt abundant financial packages if they cooperate in stopping the wave of migrants to Europe – money for green energy, for inclusivity, for alignment with the EU, for everything the EU bureaucracy can think of. And the ‘printing press’ of the Central European Bank will take care of the rest.

Where does this change come from? Has the security situation in Europe deteriorated so drastically? Not really. Has the European administration led by von der Leyen changed so drastically? Not at all. But in the meantime, illegal migrations have become an issue on which elections are won or lost. Parties in Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Italy have achieved electoral victories by criticizing the previous European migration policy… It is expected that Spain will continue this trend as early as this weekend. And one of the longest-serving European prime ministers and greatest masters of political compromise, Dutch Mark Rutte (also known as Mark Teflon), has himself brought down his government to preserve the coalition potential of his party for the future.

The Dutch model

The Dutch case is particularly interesting as a possible model for political survival. Rutte brought down his own coalition government by demanding that family reunification for migrants be slowed down until conditions are met. Many have already forgotten that during the policy of herzlich willkommen, most European countries, including Croatia, joined the Marrakech Agreement, which, among other things, guarantees the right to family reunification for illegal migrants who apply for asylum. It then turned out (also) in the Netherlands that most illegal migrants often bring along up to ten family members, that there is no adequate accommodation for them, that this is a constant source of excess and crime, and that resistance from the local Dutch population is growing, especially among farmers, who are being destroyed by European green policies while financing the settlement of the country with migrants. The Dutch protest movement of citizen farmers (BBB), a rising political force, was a relative winner in this spring’s local elections as well as in the elections for the upper house of parliament.

And the Netherlands, which has so far been one of the European flagships of globalist policies, is now convincingly heading towards a more conservative political direction. In this context, the cunning strategist Rutte brought down his government to save his party and announced his withdrawal from politics so that perhaps after the European elections next year, he could emerge somewhere in a future European ‘government’.

Preserving the political status quo in European institutions after next year’s European elections is also the ultimate reason why the head of the EC, von der Leyen, is willing to use European money to pay the political regimes of North African countries to (at least until the elections) stop the wave of migrants. Because it is expected that voters will forget who actually opened the doors to the wave, who imposed the Marrakech Agreement, who dealt with security issues with newspeak. Who, in the end, deceived both migrants and natives for the sake of preserving power.
