Macron blames Europe for terror, not mass migration
Violent crime, terror attacks, and epidemic levels of sexual assault in Europe are “not linked” to mass migration, Emmanuel Macron has said, blaming “discrimination” and inequality for the phenomena.*Ahem* Maybe they're not linked to migration per se, but they most certainly are linked to Islam. And if he's only placing the blame upon native Europeans and not the Muslims and interlopers from north Africa themselves, that's inicredibly insulting and does no favors for anybody. So he's not helping by claiming he's not naive.
Speaking to George Washington University students in the U.S. last week, the French President also acknowledged that “90 per cent” of African migrants arriving in Europe are economic migrants and not refugees.
Macron was prompted to address the topic after a student stood up to say that Americans have watched as mass immigration “from the Middle East and Africa to Europe … over the years”, resulting in the rise of violence, crime, and terror attacks on the continent.
Highlighting “an increase in sexual assault and rape of women to the point that many women are too afraid to leave home” and “an increase in anti-Semitism to the point that in many cities Jewish citizens are advised not to wear religious garb for fear of being attacked”, she asked the President what his government is doing “to ensure the national security and the cultural identity of France and Europe”.
“I am absolutely not naive. In our societies, we have a need for more security, more national security, especially for women,” Macron said, before stating: “I do not believe that these phenomena are linked to migration.”
Marine Le Pen had the following to say about Macron at a gathering in Nice:
Front National President Marine Le Pen wants to send a kind word of warning to President Donald Trump following the recent state visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to the United States: he’s not the one you want.Sooner or later, that's just what'll happen, and the EU had best come to terms with how its horrendous policies. Macron will have to recognize reality sooner or later as well.
Speaking exclusively to Breitbart London following a large rally of supporters in Nice, France, Ms. Le Pen said President Trump “should not be mistaken” about President Macron and his ambitions.
“Macron is not the new cycle [of politics],” she said. “He is the end of the old cycle.”
Speaking to a crowd of over 1500 supporters in the southern French city, Ms. Le Pen talked of the new wave of European populists and patriots ready to take control and govern across the continent.
The rally — hosted by her pan-European political group ‘Movement for a Europe of Nations’ — included speakers from Austria’s new governing Freedom Party, as well as counterparts from Greece, Bulgaria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Poland, and more.
“Another way has now opened. Everyone sees that the EU’s project is out of breath and that it is cracking from all sides,” she told the crowd.
