The European Union Parliament elections have come and gone. While some results were being finalized just this morning, the dust has settled more or less and we can take stock of what occurred.

France

We’ll start with what is arguably the most momentous election result. In France, National Rally, of which Marine Le Pen is a member and which is now led by the handsome and charismatic Jordan Bardella, won 31% of the votes and gained 12 seats in the EU Parliament. National Rally won almost twice as many votes as Emmanuel Macron’s pro-EU coalition. But it’s not only that. Bardella’s party made it clear that its was an anti-immigration campaign, and on that note National Rally won in every single département except Paris, which is of course the epicenter of French globohomo zealotry and the stomping ground for a huge fifth column of anti-French foreigners. Even Éric Zemmour’s party, headed by the elegant and well-spoken Marion Maréchal, won a few seats. On the other hand, the Greens and the assortment of leftist parties either lost seats or made zero gains.

This trouncing has provoked the French President to call an emergency domestic election which could take place as soon as the end of June. It’s a rather bizarre step to take. Macron could easily ignore the results of the EU elections, which really have no influence on the composition of France’s own parliament. Instead, Macron has dissolved the National Assembly and put his own reign at risk of a premature end just as he was seemingly about to become the great wartime, visionary European leader he has long fancied himself. What could explain this? Well, in Macron’s own words:

This is an essential time for clarification. I have heard your message, your concerns, and I will not leave them unanswered. France needs a clear majority to act in serenity and harmony.

Fair enough, but since when has Macron cared about the concerns of the French people . . . and why does he care now? Perhaps it is easier to rig a domestic election in his favor than it is to “fortify” the EU elections? Perish the thought! Notre démocratie is 100% secure, just, and legitimate.

A tiresome feature of our times is that almost nothing is ever what it appears to be. There are always ulterior motives, chicanery, and hidden faces pulling the strings behind the scenes. Maybe those who outrank Macron have decided his time is up and forced him to call the snap elections. It’s hard to see why this would be the case. Macron is a dutiful globalist ideologue, devoted unconditionally to the European Union, and no one in Western Europe is more keen on going to war with Russia than he is.

So that leaves us with another explanation: maybe this is what winning looks like. Could it be possible that the French resistance to mass immigration, globalism, unnecessary saber-rattling, an increasingly Islamified country, and the watering-down of its national sovereignty has finally managed to get its act together on the political stage and win?

Germany

The results in Germany may not be as surprising as those in France, but they are nonetheless similarly momentous. Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) was expected to do very well, and that they did. Despite — or perhaps because of — several of its members being attacked, stabbed, harassed, and forced to relocate and live under 24-hour protection, despite constantly being referred to as an “extremist” party, and despite the German establishment’s efforts to erase AfD from existence, AfD confirmed that it is a legitimate voice in German politics and must be heard. It won 16% of the vote (the second-most of all the parties) and earned six seats in the EU Parliament.

In the days leading up to the EU elections, Germans witnessed an Afghan migrant stab several people in Mannheim, including a German policeman who later died of his wounds. This attack took place while the German state was still tracking and bringing up charges against German twenty-somethings for singing a now-verboten song calling for the removal of people like stabby Afghan migrants. The German and international media did their best to make it seem like the German “far right” was responsible for the attack, creating carefully ambiguous headlines such as the one Sky News came up with: “Police officer stabbed during attack at far-right rally dies.”

Just days after the Afghan migrant murdered a German policeman and wounded several others, including his primary target, a critic of Islam named Michael Stürzenberger, a member of AfD was also wounded by a knife-wielding assailant. Heinrich Koch confronted a 25-year-old leftist who was tearing down AfD posters. The leftist then pulled out a knife and cut Koch across the abdomen. But remember, AfD members are the “extremists.”

The outcome of Germany’s EU elections have also punched holes in the government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz. His Social Democrats suffered their worst result in a national election for a century in what media across the world are calling a crushing blow and a humiliation. Support for the German Greens, whose members have previously celebrated the fact that Germans are now the minority in cities like Frankfurt and will soon be the minority in the entire country, dropped by nearly half as they lost nine seats. The almost farcically leftist party Die Linke also lost seats.

In the two European powerhouses, France and Germany, the message could not be clearer. The people are fed up with the status quo, with Islamification, with replacement migration, with decreased living standards, with energy insecurity, and with being hounded by their own government simply for being patriotic nationalists.

Ireland

While it may not be among the European powerhouses, for the past couple of years Ireland has shown the most passionate and “real” nationalist opposition to the globalist extremists. Therefore, not only smiling Irish eyes were on the elections in the Emerald Isle, which also coincided with Irish local elections.

Ireland is a country held hostage by countless NGOs, almost all of them dedicated to bringing in and settling foreigners in the country. These NGOs were very busy bees during this election cycle, recruiting their pets into voters. That’s right: In Ireland, people who aren’t even paper Irish are allowed to vote. Given that a record number of foreigners have swarmed into the country, this arguably innocuous quirk is now nothing short of genuine “foreign influence,” as “refugees” and economic migrants formed into distinct voting blocs and even put up their own candidates.

They weren’t shy about it, either. A group called Abolish Direct Provision Campaign bragged that they had taken (reproduced verbatim) “thousands of Refugees in Direct Provision Camps to Polling Station this morning to ensure they voted correctly. The Government should give all of them right to remain in Ireland.” Just a few thousand foreigners who are neither legal Irish citizens nor ethnically Irish voting in elections. It’s fine.

Another NGO called the Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland (MASI) proclaimed: “South Dublin County Partnership has arranged transport for asylum seekers to go out and vote. And our advice is to leave racists blank on the ballot.”

Galway elected its first-ever African representative, a Nigerian “refugee” named Helen Ogbu, which we are all supposed to celebrate as a good thing for some reason. Here she is with her . . . ahem . . . constituents.

Elsewhere, a man was caught on camera driving a load of Ukrainians to a voting station in a van emblazoned with the name of Fine Gael candidate Thomas Walsh. It sounds absurd, but this is the reality in clown world Ireland.

Given this blatant corruption, it was a miracle that any Irish dissidents and nationalists got elected at all. In truth, it was a bit of a mixed bag. John Waters, on whom many had placed high hopes of getting into the EU Parliament, sadly only earned a meagre percentage of the vote. On the other hand, the National Party got their first-ever representative elected to office. Patrick Quinlan defeated a rival from the group People Before Profit, a name that promises rainbow skies, unicorns, and waterfalls of delicious chocolate, but is really just another communist front.

Other anti-immigration candidates such as Malachy Steenson and Gavin Pepper won their local races, so that is reason to celebrate. Irish nationalists knew going in to these elections that they were probably going to pick up only a few seats, both at home and in the EU. The real objective is the general election in a year’s time and the elections five years from now. The sense is that there is still too much pettiness and disorganization in Irish nationalism, and too few candidates who are slick and experienced enough to deliver the message and the platform effectively. On the bright side, elections aren’t the be-all-end-all. The Irish have demonstrated through real action that they will resist their treacherous government’s efforts to foist upon them legions of suspicious foreign men. They have pressured the establishment parties to take heed, change tune, and feel afraid. Indeed, Sinn Fein fared miserably in large part thanks to being pulled asunder by constituents who are ashamed of the party’s treason to the Irish people, and leaders who still cling to status-quo globalist positions. Many other establishment parties owe their continued existence to the Boomer vote.

As we’ve seen over the past two years, the Irish political class is comically inept and nefarious. They don’t have the finesse that the Brits do when it comes to nudging the population into accepting unpopular policies and oppressing those who don’t. The elections were no different. The NGOs and their government backers are so artless, so full of hubris, that they let the entire world see them using foreigners in order to thwart the will of the Irish natives. The Irish have long memories. They won’t forget this.

Italy

In Italy there were few surprises. Giorgia Meloni stood as an EU Parliament candidate for the European Conservatives and Reformists and her party gained four seats, while her domestic ruling party, Fratelli d’Italia, won 28% of the votes in Italy and now has 24 seats in the EU. Meloni has positioned herself as a kingmaker, although it must be said that much of her personal success has come at the cost of disowning nearly everything she stood for. She has abandoned her promises to stop the NGO migrant boats from invading Italian waters, and worse, her government has drawn up plans to bring in nearly half a million non-European migrant workers. Her government signed the EU Migration Pact, and word from Italians in the know suggests that she is out of her depth and afraid of taking on both Italy’s trade unions and the bigwigs in Brussels. She has also divided the right. Instead of aligning with Identity and Democracy (ID), Meloni seeks alliances with more centrist parties. Of course, it must be said that ID is also an unhelpful entity, given that its prominent leaders, Marine Le Pen and Matteo Salvini, cowardly disavowed and then removed AfD from its ranks.

That said, there were a few things worth noting out of Italy. For starters, it seems that Lega might be on its last legs. With FdI getting all the attention, Matteo Salvini’s party has lost its lustre. It lost 14 seats and only managed to win 9% of the vote. But there is one intriguing bright side. Former general Roberto Vannacci, representing Lega, was elected to the EU Parliament. Vannacci took Italy by storm last year after writing a book entitled Il Mondo al Contrario (“Backwards World” might be a good translation) in which he pulled no punches criticizing all the degeneracy in modern-day Italy and Europe. He went after all the liberal-left’s shibboleths: gays, migrants, communists, etc. The book became a bestseller and made Vannacci a right-wing talisman. It will be interesting to see what effect he can have in the EU.

Meanwhile, on the total opposite side of the political spectrum, meet Ilaria Salis. Salis is a leftist extremist who in 2023 travelled to Budapest with a gang of fellow Antifa communists, most of them Germans, known as Hammerbande. They entered Budapest with the explicit intention of attacking fascists who gather on February 11 to hold a “Day of Honor” for the Hungarian and other soldiers who attempted to break out of Soviet-controlled Pest in 1945.

Such is the bloodlust and buffoonish villainy of these Antifa scum that they immediately set upon anyone they thought might be fascist. How did they determine this? Why, if the target was wearing black or camouflage clothing. Ilaria Salis and Hammerbande ended up attacking totally innocent people that had nothing to do with the Day of Honor or fascism. One victim, 60-year-old László Dudog, explained to Italian newspaper Il Giornale what he survived:

My fiancée and I were attacked and injured with bars, batons, and knives by those criminals . . . They smashed my head with bars. My fiancée was stabbed twice in the legs. It’s a miracle we’re alive . . . No one, upon seeing us, could discern whether we were aligned with the right or the left. We walked around, holding hands and chatting, just like many other couples.

After the Hungarian authorities launched a manhunt, Salis was captured along with a handful of other Hammerbande members. Further confirming that leftists are the most wicked people to ever live, the Italian left immediately went to work making Ilaria Salis into an innocent martyr. The Italian leftist media shrieked when they saw images of a shackled Salis standing in a Hungarian courtroom. She is in chains, the poor woman! She is the victim! The Italian press began publishing sob stories about the inhumane conditions Salis was forced to live in. Again, this is a woman who travelled to a city on a mission to attack people, to commit violence, and whose Antifa gang ended up severely and permanently injuring random people. Salis pleaded not guilty to charges of assault and was facing a 20-year prison sentence. Some of her fellow conspirators have already been convicted and sentenced to three years behind bars.

How the hell she maintains her innocence, this writer does not know. Nor will any of us ever know. Putting their utter evil on full display, the Italian Green and Left Alliance selected Salis to be their candidate in the EU elections, and thanks to the martyr narrative created by the Italian establishment media, leftist activists, and leftist politicians, Salis was presented as an innocent woman wrongfully trapped in a rat-infested prison in big, bad Hungary. Compare her treatment to that of Vannacci, a man who has been cast as the devil himself simply for writing a frank criticism of the liberal extremist agenda. This putrid bitch ended up getting hundreds of thousands of votes and elected to the EU Parliament, which means she is now an MEP and therefore granted immunity from detention, and all criminal proceedings against her must be suspended.

Who are the extremists, again?

The Rest of Europe

In Austria, the so-called “far right” Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) came out on top while the Green and other leftist parties all lost seats, in keeping with events across the continent.

In Spain, the duopoly of the Popular Party (PP) and the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) continues. The PP performed better than the PSOE, but it doesn’t really matter, since PP votes the same as PSOE more than 85% of the time. But one of the more curious results in the EU elections occurred in Spain. Alvise Pérez managed to win three seats. This is a man who looks like a Pakistani, whose political party has no platform apart from “we’re mad as hell and we’re not gonna take it anymore,” and who conducted his one-month-long campaign entirely via Telegram and Instagram, never once being invited or seeking invitation to the mainstream media channels. Yet, he outperformed Irene Montero and her party, Podemos. Truly, Spain is the madman of Europe.

Belgium also drifted right in its elections, which were both for the European Parliament and the general domestic elections. So terrible was the ruling party’s defeat in the latter that the Prime Minister has officially resigned. A “right wing” government is expected to form in the coming months.

Readers will have noticed the use of quotes around the words “right wing” and “far right” throughout this article. That is because these are the terms used by the establishment media. In reality, very few of these parties come close to “right wing,” let alone “far right.”

In fact, it’s difficult to see why the liberal left are crying so much after these elections. They are melodramatic retards – yes — but honestly, it’s still so tiresome. It’s not like this is the first time the “populists” or the “right wing” have “surged.” What happened last time? Nothing. In Italy, Salvini and Lega were thwarted by activist judges and let down by their populist leftist allies. Then Italy was taken over by a globalist banker technocrat. After Mario Draghi stepped down, “far right” Meloni then “surged” to power. What has changed? What, exactly, could possibly be called “far right” about Meloni’s Italy?

Several years ago in Austria, the “far right” Sebastian Kurz “surged” to victory, too. Do you remember the deportations? The shuttering of degenerate institutions? The campaign to leave the European Union? You don’t? Because they didn’t happen.

No one knows what the future will bring, and of course this author hopes that the “right wing Europe” the liberals and Antifa fear so much does become reality, but what’s more likely to happen is that the sclerotic European bureaucracy and the entrenched establishment powers will ensure that nothing diverts Europe from its globohomo course. And that’s if the pettiness and cowardice of these supposed jackboot-wearing “fascists” doesn’t prove their own downfall first.

So please, libtards, this is still your world we’re all forced to live in. Spare us the histrionics.
