What was the case about? How can you still believe in justice in Belgium when right-leaning individuals end up in court straight away?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dries: Well, I stopped believing in justice a while ago, justice in Belgium, that is. Ghent, at the Court of Appeal. Yes, it&#8217;s been clear for some time that there&#8217;s no real justice or fairness to speak of in Belgium. The court in Leuven, where we saw that you can be convicted for simply stating facts, for presenting a set of statistics on educational standards as a result of mass migration. Belgium. That is how they criminalise anyone who so much as raises a single question about mass migration. Sadly.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127467;&#127479; FRAN&#199;AIS</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Kobe Declercq: Vous avez eu une affaire judiciaire ces derni&#232;res semaines.

Le tribunal de Louvain, o&#249; l&#8217;on a vu que l&#8217;on peut &#234;tre condamn&#233; pour avoir simplement &#233;nonc&#233; des faits, pour avoir pr&#233;sent&#233; un ensemble de statistiques sur les niveaux scolaires li&#233;s &#224; la migration de masse.

Worum ging es dabei? Wie kann man in Belgien noch an Gerechtigkeit glauben, wenn Personen mit rechten Ansichten sofort vor Gericht landen?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dries: Nun, ich habe vor einer Weile aufgeh&#246;rt, an die Gerechtigkeit zu glauben, an die belgische Gerechtigkeit, wohlgemerkt. Gent, am Berufungsgericht. Ja, es ist seit einiger Zeit klar, dass es in Belgien keine wirkliche Gerechtigkeit oder Fairness gibt. Das Gericht in L&#246;wen, wo wir gesehen haben, dass man verurteilt werden kann, weil man schlicht Fakten genannt hat, weil man eine Reihe von Statistiken &#252;ber Bildungsstandards infolge von Massenmigration vorgelegt hat. Belgien. So kriminalisieren sie jeden, der auch nur eine einzige Frage zur Massenmigration aufwirft.

Combien d&#8217;entre eux, selon vous, ne devraient r&#233;alistement pas se trouver ici ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Lena Kotre: C&#8217;est aussi une tr&#232;s bonne question, et il faudrait bien s&#251;r calculer cela tr&#232;s pr&#233;cis&#233;ment. Le fait est que nous devons expulser des millions de personnes. Nous avons d&#233;j&#224; pr&#232;s d&#8217;un million de Syriens qui sont venus ici, et ils n&#8217;ont plus le droit de rester. La Syrie n&#8217;est plus en guerre &#8212; le pays est en paix, et ces personnes doivent rentrer et reconstruire leur pays. Et il en va bien s&#251;r de m&#234;me pour tous ceux qui ont obtenu l&#8217;asile ici. L&#8217;asile est toujours un droit temporaire. Et lorsque ce d&#233;lai est &#233;coul&#233;, les personnes doivent rentrer. Lorsque nous serons au gouvernement, nous effectuerons des calculs clairs et pr&#233;cis, et nous verrons alors exactement combien il y en a r&#233;ellement. Mais on peut dire que le chiffre s&#8217;&#233;l&#232;ve &#224; un minimum de 4 millions de personnes.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127465;&#127466; DEUTSCH</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Kobe Declercq: Deutschland hat 84 Millionen Einwohner. Wie viele davon sollten Ihrer Meinung nach realistischerweise nicht hier sein?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Lena Kotre: Das ist auch eine sehr gute Frage, und nat&#252;rlich m&#252;sste man das sehr genau berechnen. Tatsache ist, dass wir Millionen von Menschen abschieben m&#252;ssen. Wir haben bereits fast eine Million Syrer, die hierher gekommen sind, und sie haben kein Recht mehr zu bleiben. Syrien befindet sich nicht mehr im Krieg &#8212; das Land ist in Frieden, und diese Menschen m&#252;ssen zur&#252;ckgehen und ihr Land wiederaufbauen. Und dasselbe gilt nat&#252;rlich f&#252;r alle, denen hier Asyl gew&#228;hrt wurde. Asyl ist immer ein vor&#252;bergehendes Recht. Und wenn diese Zeit abgelaufen ist, m&#252;ssen die Menschen zur&#252;ckkehren. Wenn wir in der Regierung sind, werden wir klare und genaue Berechnungen durchf&#252;hren, und dann werden wir genau sehen, wie viele es tats&#228;chlich sind. Aber man kann sagen, dass die Zahl bei mindestens 4 Millionen Menschen liegt.</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.voxeuropaherald.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://www.voxeuropaherald.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><div class="pullquote"><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Voxeuropa Herald is an initiative that shares the voices shaping Europe today: elected officials, essayists, philosophers, activists, artists and influencers.

Tell us about this.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Lucy White:</strong> So essentially, the mainstream media will only cover issues on illegal migration. We might see every single week there are more and more small boats crossing the Channel from France into the UK. We know that the numbers might be around 40,000 or 50,000 illegal migrants a year. But what the bigger issue is, in terms of gross migration, we&#8217;re having over one million migrants a year. In 2023, we had 1.3 million, I believe, and in 2024, 1.2 million migrants. And of those migrants, around 85% those are all from the third world, and predominantly they come from a few main countries. The main country they are coming from is India on a massive scale, followed by Pakistan, Nigeria, then you have some other third world countries such as Bangladesh, Ghana, Zimbabwe. We do get migration from China, but they tend to go home, whereas the others will stay. So it&#8217;s not just that we&#8217;re getting a lot of migrants, they&#8217;re coming not just from the non-EU countries, but they&#8217;re coming from what I would call the third world countries. And this is changing the shape of our country and making it unrecognizable.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127467;&#127479; FRAN&#199;AIS</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Paul Kentwell:</strong> Vous affirmez que l&#8217;immigration l&#233;gale constitue un probl&#232;me bien plus important que l&#8217;immigration ill&#233;gale. Parlez-nous de cela.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Lucy White:</strong> Essentiellement, les m&#233;dias mainstream ne couvrent que les questions li&#233;es &#224; l&#8217;immigration ill&#233;gale. Chaque semaine, nous voyons de plus en plus de petits bateaux traverser la Manche depuis la France vers le Royaume-Uni. Nous savons que les chiffres tournent autour de 40 000 &#224; 50 000 migrants ill&#233;gaux par an. Mais le v&#233;ritable probl&#232;me, en termes de migration brute, c&#8217;est que nous accueillons plus d&#8217;un million de migrants par an. En 2023, nous avons eu 1,3 million, je crois, et en 2024, 1,2 million de migrants. Et parmi ces migrants, environ 85 % proviennent du tiers-monde, et ils viennent principalement de quelques pays majeurs. Le principal pays d&#8217;origine est l&#8217;Inde, &#224; une &#233;chelle massive, suivi du Pakistan, du Nigeria, puis d&#8217;autres pays du tiers-monde comme le Bangladesh, le Ghana, le Zimbabwe. Nous avons bien s&#251;r de la migration en provenance de Chine, mais ceux-ci ont tendance &#224; rentrer chez eux, alors que les autres restent. Il ne s&#8217;agit donc pas seulement du fait que nous recevons beaucoup de migrants : ils ne viennent pas seulement des pays hors Union europ&#233;enne, mais de ce que j&#8217;appellerais les pays du tiers-monde. Et cela change la forme de notre pays et le rend m&#233;connaissable.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127465;&#127466; DEUTSCH</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Paul Kentwell:</strong> Sie sagen, dass die legale Einwanderung ein viel gr&#246;&#223;eres Problem darstellt als die illegale Einwanderung. Erz&#228;hlen Sie uns davon.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Lucy White:</strong> Im Wesentlichen decken die Mainstream-Medien nur Themen der illegalen Migration ab. Wir sehen jede einzelne Woche, dass immer mehr kleine Boote den &#196;rmelkanal von Frankreich ins Vereinigte K&#246;nigreich &#252;berqueren. Wir wissen, dass die Zahlen bei etwa 40.000 oder 50.000 illegalen Migranten pro Jahr liegen. Aber das eigentliche gr&#246;&#223;ere Problem ist, was die Bruttomigration betrifft, dass wir &#252;ber eine Million Migranten pro Jahr haben. Im Jahr 2023 hatten wir, glaube ich, 1,3 Millionen und 2024 1,2 Millionen Migranten. Und von diesen Migranten stammen etwa 85 % aus der Dritten Welt, und sie kommen &#252;berwiegend aus einigen wenigen Hauptl&#228;ndern. Das Hauptland, aus dem sie kommen, ist Indien in massivem Umfang, gefolgt von Pakistan, Nigeria, dann haben Sie einige andere Dritte-Welt-L&#228;nder wie Bangladesch, Ghana, Simbabwe. Wir haben zwar auch Migration aus China, aber diese tendieren dazu, nach Hause zur&#252;ckzukehren, w&#228;hrend die anderen bleiben. Es geht also nicht nur darum, dass wir viele Migranten bekommen &#8211; sie kommen nicht nur aus den Nicht-EU-L&#228;ndern, sondern aus dem, was ich die Dritte-Welt-L&#228;nder nennen w&#252;rde. Und das ver&#228;ndert die Gestalt unseres Landes und macht es unkenntlich.</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/filmkvnst&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Video by Filmkunstkollektiv&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://x.com/filmkvnst"><span>Video by Filmkunstkollektiv</span></a></p><div class="pullquote"><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Voxeuropa Herald is an initiative that shares the voices shaping Europe today: elected officials, essayists, philosophers, activists, artists and influencers.

Could you make the case for that?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Gregory Bovino: Sure, Maddie. You said the official figure is 14 million. Well that&#8217;s the &#8212; maybe the official wrong figure. I think we could &#8212; we could call it the official wrong figure. So, the real figure is 100 million and I stand by that. That&#8217;s looking at both research, it&#8217;s looking at on the ground perception that I&#8217;ve seen and then what I&#8217;ve seen on the border and then also some additional studies that we conducted ad hoc on the ground while we were in those cities across the United States. So back in say 1975 the figure was 14 million. Are you telling me that between 1975 and now that figure&#8217;s still 14 million? You&#8217;ve got to be absolutely crazy. Whoever says that whether it&#8217;s Pew or any of the other quote research organizations, which I&#8217;m wondering what kind of research they do. 14 million for 50 years, when we watched millions stream across that border every year not just during the Biden years but every single year. There have been some &#8212; some fairly decent studies, still not accurate &#8212; Bear Stearns back in 2000, approximately 2006, had it at 20 to 30 million which was a landmark study, that was a financial institution that did that study. They weren&#8217;t looking at it from the sociopolitical aspect, which is what most studies look at it from, is politics and political correctness. So they already had it up in 2006 between 20 and 30 million. Look at what happened between 2006 and now. Millions more streamed, especially under Biden. Under Biden we don&#8217;t know what came in the country. How many millions came in the country. And then on the ground observations prior to 2000, there were many areas of the United States people didn&#8217;t know what an illegal alien was. After 2000 very rapidly just about every space in the United States now has illegal aliens, it filled very rapidly with millions. So when you take that into context, take a look at commuting times in Charlotte, North Carolina, a hundred and fifty three thousand commuters in Charlotte. Except when the Mean Green team showed up in Charlotte, all of a sudden the commute times went to superlative. And for a commute time to go to superlative you have to take about 30 to 40% of the commuters out of the commute, we did that. What is 30% of 153,000? You&#8217;re starting to mirror that 100 million. Because I&#8217;m saying there&#8217;s about 340 million American residents, another hundred million illegal aliens. Same thing with school absenteeism. 30% of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools &#8212; 30% of the students, 30+ percent of the students were absent from school. That suspiciously mirrors that 100 million figure. So you take all the research, all the on ground observations from Border Patrol agents and border security professionals, plus those past studies, you put those all together and use this thing called common sense. Maddie, a little bit of common sense and the hundred million figure seems very very accurate and plausible. And you know, if some other folks wanna &#8212; wanna throw another figure out there and dispute it, I would really like to hear it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127467;&#127479; FRAN&#199;AIS</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie: Vous avez &#233;voqu&#233; tout &#224; l&#8217;heure les chiffres de l&#8217;immigration, s&#8217;agissant de l&#8217;immigration ill&#233;gale en Am&#233;rique, et le chiffre officiel est de 14 millions, mais vous avez dit qu&#8217;il pourrait y avoir 100 millions d&#8217;immigr&#233;s ill&#233;gaux en Am&#233;rique. Pouvez-vous &#233;tayer cette th&#232;se?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Gregory Bovino: Bien s&#251;r, Maddie. Vous dites que le chiffre officiel est de 14 millions. Eh bien c&#8217;est le &#8212; peut-&#234;tre le chiffre officiellement faux. Je crois qu&#8217;on pourrait &#8212; on pourrait l&#8217;appeler le chiffre officiellement faux. Donc, le vrai chiffre est 100 millions et je le maintiens. C&#8217;est en regardant &#224; la fois la recherche, en regardant les perceptions sur le terrain que j&#8217;ai observ&#233;es, puis ce que j&#8217;ai vu &#224; la fronti&#232;re, et puis aussi certaines &#233;tudes suppl&#233;mentaires que nous avons men&#233;es ad hoc sur le terrain pendant que nous &#233;tions dans ces villes &#224; travers les &#201;tats-Unis. Donc revenons disons &#224; 1975, le chiffre &#233;tait de 14 millions. Vous &#234;tes en train de me dire qu&#8217;entre 1975 et aujourd&#8217;hui ce chiffre est toujours de 14 millions? Il faut &#234;tre compl&#232;tement fou. Quiconque dit &#231;a, que ce soit Pew ou n&#8217;importe quelle autre soi-disant organisation de recherche, ce qui me fait me demander quel genre de recherche ils font. 14 millions pendant 50 ans, alors que nous avons vu des millions passer cette fronti&#232;re chaque ann&#233;e, pas seulement pendant les ann&#233;es Biden, mais chaque ann&#233;e sans exception. Il y a eu quelques &#8212; quelques &#233;tudes assez s&#233;rieuses, toujours pas exactes &#8212; Bear Stearns vers 2000, approximativement 2006, l&#8217;avaient estim&#233; &#224; 20 &#224; 30 millions, ce qui &#233;tait une &#233;tude de r&#233;f&#233;rence, c&#8217;&#233;tait une institution financi&#232;re qui avait r&#233;alis&#233; cette &#233;tude. Ils ne l&#8217;examinaient pas sous l&#8217;angle sociopolitique, ce que font la plupart des &#233;tudes, c&#8217;est-&#224;-dire la politique et la rectitude politique. Donc ils l&#8217;avaient d&#233;j&#224; plac&#233; en 2006 entre 20 et 30 millions. Regardez ce qui s&#8217;est pass&#233; entre 2006 et aujourd&#8217;hui. Des millions de plus ont afflu&#233;, surtout sous Biden. Sous Biden on ne sait pas ce qui est entr&#233; dans le pays. Combien de millions sont entr&#233;s dans le pays. Et puis les observations sur le terrain avant 2000 &#8212; il y avait de nombreuses r&#233;gions des &#201;tats-Unis o&#249; les gens ne savaient pas ce qu&#8217;&#233;tait un immigr&#233; ill&#233;gal. Apr&#232;s 2000, tr&#232;s rapidement, presque chaque espace aux &#201;tats-Unis a d&#233;sormais des immigr&#233;s ill&#233;gaux, &#231;a s&#8217;est rempli tr&#232;s rapidement avec des millions. Donc quand on remet &#231;a en contexte, regardez les temps de trajet &#224; Charlotte, Caroline du Nord, cent cinquante-trois mille navetteurs &#224; Charlotte. Sauf que lorsque la Mean Green team a d&#233;barqu&#233; &#224; Charlotte, tout d&#8217;un coup les temps de trajet sont mont&#233;s au superlatif. Et pour qu&#8217;un temps de trajet monte au superlatif il faut retirer environ 30 &#224; 40% des navetteurs du trajet, nous avons fait ce calcul. Qu&#8217;est-ce que 30% de 153 000? Vous commencez &#224; refl&#233;ter ces 100 millions. Parce que ce que je dis c&#8217;est qu&#8217;il y a environ 340 millions de r&#233;sidents am&#233;ricains, plus encore cent millions d&#8217;immigr&#233;s ill&#233;gaux. M&#234;me chose avec l&#8217;absent&#233;isme scolaire. 30% des &#233;coles de Charlotte-Mecklenburg &#8212; 30% des &#233;l&#232;ves, plus de 30% des &#233;l&#232;ves &#233;taient absents de l&#8217;&#233;cole. Ce qui correspond de fa&#231;on suspecte &#224; ce chiffre de 100 millions. Donc vous prenez toute la recherche, toutes les observations sur le terrain des agents de la Border Patrol et des professionnels de la s&#233;curit&#233; frontali&#232;re, plus ces &#233;tudes pass&#233;es, vous mettez tout &#231;a ensemble et vous utilisez cette chose qu&#8217;on appelle le bon sens. Maddie, un peu de bon sens et le chiffre de cent millions semble tr&#232;s tr&#232;s pr&#233;cis et plausible. Et vous savez, si d&#8217;autres personnes veulent &#8212; veulent avancer un autre chiffre et le contester, je serais vraiment curieux de l&#8217;entendre.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127465;&#127466; DEUTSCH</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie: Sie haben vorhin &#252;ber Einwanderungszahlen gesprochen, konkret &#252;ber illegale Einwanderung in Amerika, und die offizielle Zahl betr&#228;gt 14 Millionen, aber Sie sagten, es k&#246;nnten 100 Millionen illegale Einwanderer in Amerika sein. K&#246;nnen Sie das begr&#252;nden?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Gregory Bovino: Sicher, Maddie. Sie sagen, die offizielle Zahl sei 14 Millionen. Nun, das ist die &#8212; vielleicht die offiziell falsche Zahl. Ich glaube, wir k&#246;nnten &#8212; wir k&#246;nnten sie die offiziell falsche Zahl nennen. Also, die echte Zahl ist 100 Millionen und dabei bleibe ich. Das basiert sowohl auf Forschung als auch auf den Beobachtungen vor Ort, die ich gemacht habe, auf dem, was ich an der Grenze gesehen habe, und dann auch auf einigen zus&#228;tzlichen Studien, die wir ad hoc vor Ort durchgef&#252;hrt haben, w&#228;hrend wir in diesen St&#228;dten quer durch die Vereinigten Staaten waren. Also zur&#252;ck, sagen wir, zu 1975, da lag die Zahl bei 14 Millionen. Wollen Sie mir sagen, dass zwischen 1975 und jetzt diese Zahl immer noch 14 Millionen betr&#228;gt? Man muss absolut verr&#252;ckt sein. Wer das behauptet, ob es Pew ist oder irgendeine andere sogenannte Forschungsorganisation, bei der ich mich frage, was f&#252;r Forschung die eigentlich betreiben. 14 Millionen seit 50 Jahren, w&#228;hrend wir Millionen &#252;ber diese Grenze str&#246;men sahen, jedes Jahr, nicht nur w&#228;hrend der Biden-Jahre, sondern jedes einzelne Jahr. Es gab einige &#8212; einige ziemlich solide Studien, immer noch nicht korrekt &#8212; Bear Stearns um 2000, ungef&#228;hr 2006, hatten es bei 20 bis 30 Millionen, was eine bahnbrechende Studie war, das war eine Finanzinstitution, die diese Studie durchgef&#252;hrt hat. Sie betrachteten es nicht aus dem soziopolitischen Blickwinkel, aus dem die meisten Studien es betrachten, n&#228;mlich Politik und politische Korrektheit. Also hatten sie es 2006 bereits zwischen 20 und 30 Millionen. Schauen Sie, was zwischen 2006 und jetzt passiert ist. Millionen mehr str&#246;mten herein, besonders unter Biden. Unter Biden wissen wir nicht, was ins Land gekommen ist. Wie viele Millionen ins Land gekommen sind. Und dann die Beobachtungen vor Ort vor 2000 &#8212; es gab viele Gegenden in den Vereinigten Staaten, wo die Leute nicht wussten, was ein illegaler Ausl&#228;nder ist. Nach 2000 sehr schnell hatte so gut wie jede Gegend in den Vereinigten Staaten nun illegale Ausl&#228;nder, es f&#252;llte sich sehr schnell mit Millionen. Wenn man das also in diesen Zusammenhang setzt, schauen Sie sich die Pendelzeiten in Charlotte, North Carolina an, hundertzwanzigtausend &#8212; hundertdreiundf&#252;nfzigtausend Pendler in Charlotte. Au&#223;er als das Mean Green team in Charlotte auftauchte, stiegen die Pendelzeiten pl&#246;tzlich auf ein Superlativniveau. Und damit eine Pendelzeit auf ein Superlativniveau steigt, m&#252;ssen etwa 30 bis 40% der Pendler aus dem Verkehr gezogen werden, das haben wir berechnet. Was sind 30% von 153.000? Sie beginnen, diese 100 Millionen widerzuspiegeln. Denn ich sage, es gibt etwa 340 Millionen amerikanische Einwohner, dazu noch hundert Millionen illegale Ausl&#228;nder. Dasselbe gilt f&#252;r Schulfehlzeiten. 30% der Charlotte-Mecklenburg-Schulen &#8212; 30% der Sch&#252;ler, mehr als 30% der Sch&#252;ler fehlten in der Schule. Das spiegelt auf verd&#228;chtige Weise diese 100-Millionen-Zahl wider. Also nehmen Sie die gesamte Forschung, alle Beobachtungen vor Ort von Grenzschutzbeamten und Grenzschutzfachleuten, plus diese fr&#252;heren Studien, stecken Sie das alles zusammen und verwenden Sie dieses Ding namens gesunder Menschenverstand. Maddie, ein bisschen gesunder Menschenverstand und die Hundert-Millionen-Zahl erscheint sehr sehr pr&#228;zise und plausibel. Und wissen Sie, wenn andere Leute wollen &#8212; einen anderen Wert nennen und ihn bestreiten wollen, w&#252;rde ich das wirklich gerne h&#246;ren.</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/filmkvnst&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Video by Filmkunstkollektiv&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://x.com/filmkvnst"><span>Video by Filmkunstkollektiv</span></a></p><div class="pullquote"><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Voxeuropa Herald is an initiative that shares the voices shaping Europe today: elected officials, essayists, philosophers, activists, artists and influencers.

What&#8217;s your answer to that?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maximilian M&#228;rkl: Yeah, that happened a long time ago, but nobody had the will to change this false decision. It was just a copy and paste from the secret service of the state, and a mistake happened, and I think it&#8217;s high time to correct this mistake.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Kobe Declercq: What can a movement do that a party simply cannot? Why does the IB exist alongside the AfD rather than inside of it?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maximilian M&#228;rkl: We don&#8217;t have to think about the next election necessarily. We can provoke, we can say stuff where you might not get elected next month because it seems to be too provocative. We try to shift the Overton window so the AfD can follow and build the real political power inside the parliament, so we try to work together as good as possible.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127467;&#127479; FRAN&#199;AIS</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Kobe Declercq: L&#8217;AfD a inscrit le Mouvement Identitaire sur sa liste d&#8217;incompatibilit&#233;. Quelle est votre r&#233;ponse &#224; cela ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maximilian M&#228;rkl: Oui, c&#8217;est arriv&#233; il y a longtemps, mais personne n&#8217;a eu la volont&#233; de revenir sur cette mauvaise d&#233;cision. C&#8217;&#233;tait simplement un copier-coller des services secrets de l&#8217;&#201;tat, une erreur s&#8217;est produite, et je pense qu&#8217;il est grand temps de corriger cette erreur.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Kobe Declercq: Que peut faire un mouvement qu&#8217;un parti ne peut tout simplement pas faire ? Pourquoi l&#8217;IB existe-t-elle aux c&#244;t&#233;s de l&#8217;AfD plut&#244;t qu&#8217;en son sein ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maximilian M&#228;rkl: Nous n&#8217;avons pas n&#233;cessairement &#224; penser &#224; la prochaine &#233;lection. Nous pouvons provoquer, nous pouvons dire des choses avec lesquelles vous ne seriez peut-&#234;tre pas &#233;lu le mois prochain parce que &#231;a semble trop provocateur. Nous essayons de d&#233;placer la fen&#234;tre d&#8217;Overton pour que l&#8217;AfD puisse suivre et construire le vrai pouvoir politique au parlement, donc nous essayons de travailler ensemble du mieux possible.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127465;&#127466; DEUTSCH</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Kobe Declercq: Die AfD hat die Identit&#228;re Bewegung auf ihre Unvereinbarkeitsliste gesetzt. Was ist Ihre Antwort darauf?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maximilian M&#228;rkl: Ja, das ist schon lange her, aber niemand hatte den Willen, diese falsche Entscheidung zu korrigieren. Es war einfach ein Copy-and-paste vom Verfassungsschutz, ein Fehler ist passiert, und ich denke, es ist l&#228;ngst an der Zeit, diesen Fehler zu korrigieren.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Kobe Declercq: Was kann eine Bewegung tun, was eine Partei schlicht nicht kann? Warum existiert die IB neben der AfD und nicht innerhalb von ihr?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maximilian M&#228;rkl: Wir m&#252;ssen nicht unbedingt an die n&#228;chste Wahl denken. Wir k&#246;nnen provozieren, wir k&#246;nnen Dinge sagen, mit denen man vielleicht n&#228;chsten Monat nicht gew&#228;hlt wird, weil es zu provokativ wirkt. Wir versuchen, das Overton-Fenster zu verschieben, damit die AfD folgen und echte politische Macht im Parlament aufbauen kann, also versuchen wir, so gut wie m&#246;glich zusammenzuarbeiten.</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/filmkvnst&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Video by Filmkunstkollektiv&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://x.com/filmkvnst"><span>Video by Filmkunstkollektiv</span></a></p><div class="pullquote"><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Voxeuropa Herald is an initiative that shares the voices shaping Europe today: elected officials, essayists, philosophers, activists, artists and influencers.

So we have a new party, Restore Britain and the leader Rupert Lowe, the MP, we&#8217;re curious to know what you think of them, Mr Lowe and Restore Britain.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Gregory Bovino: FANTASTIC. You know they remind me of the AfD and some of the other parties in some of the other countries. But I believe you&#8217;re second or third most members of that, so you&#8217;re growing, you&#8217;re growing rapidly again. This is the movement, this is the movement we&#8217;re talking about. So Restore Britain is a movement that I think that they can&#8217;t ignore it now. But you&#8217;re gonna be in control soon enough. And I hope they realize that.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie: And do you think a lot of Americans share your view?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Gregory Bovino: Absolutely, you bet they do. Because the situation and the problems are the same in the United States as they are here, they see the same problems here. You see the same problems in the United States. So you&#8217;ve got a lot of compatriots there in the United States that wish the very best for you. Actually you&#8217;ve got a lot of people at this Remigration Summit from the United States because they support you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127467;&#127479; FRAN&#199;AIS</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie: J&#8217;aimerais aussi aborder le Royaume-Uni. Nous avons un nouveau parti, Restore Britain, et son leader Rupert Lowe, le d&#233;put&#233;. Nous sommes curieux de savoir ce que vous en pensez, de M. Lowe et de Restore Britain.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Gregory Bovino: FANTASTIQUE. Vous savez, ils me font penser &#224; l&#8217;AfD et &#224; certains autres partis dans d&#8217;autres pays. Mais je crois que vous &#234;tes le deuxi&#232;me ou troisi&#232;me parti en nombre d&#8217;adh&#233;rents, donc vous progressez, vous progressez rapidement l&#224; encore. C&#8217;est le mouvement, c&#8217;est bien le mouvement dont on parle. Donc Restore Britain est un mouvement que je pense qu&#8217;ils ne peuvent plus ignorer maintenant. Mais vous allez prendre le contr&#244;le assez vite. Et j&#8217;esp&#232;re qu&#8217;ils en prennent conscience.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie: Et pensez-vous que beaucoup d&#8217;Am&#233;ricains partagent votre point de vue ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Gregory Bovino: Absolument, sans aucun doute. Parce que la situation et les probl&#232;mes sont les m&#234;mes aux &#201;tats-Unis qu&#8217;ici, ils voient les m&#234;mes probl&#232;mes ici. Vous voyez les m&#234;mes probl&#232;mes aux &#201;tats-Unis. Donc vous avez beaucoup de compatriotes l&#224;-bas aux &#201;tats-Unis qui vous souhaitent tout le meilleur. En fait vous avez beaucoup de gens &#224; ce Sommet de la R&#233;migration qui viennent des &#201;tats-Unis parce qu&#8217;ils vous soutiennent.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127465;&#127466; DEUTSCH</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie: Ich w&#252;rde auch gerne &#252;ber das Vereinigte K&#246;nigreich sprechen. Wir haben eine neue Partei, Restore Britain, und ihren Vorsitzenden Rupert Lowe, den Abgeordneten. Wir w&#252;rden gerne wissen, was Sie von ihnen halten, von Mr. Lowe und Restore Britain.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Gregory Bovino: FANTASTISCH. Wissen Sie, sie erinnern mich an die AfD und einige andere Parteien in anderen L&#228;ndern. Aber ich glaube, Sie sind die zweit- oder drittgr&#246;&#223;te Partei nach Mitgliederzahl, also wachsen Sie, Sie wachsen wieder rasant. Das ist die Bewegung, das ist die Bewegung, &#252;ber die wir sprechen. Also ist Restore Britain eine Bewegung, von der ich denke, dass sie sie jetzt nicht mehr ignorieren k&#246;nnen. Aber Sie werden bald die Kontrolle &#252;bernehmen. Und ich hoffe, dass sie das erkennen.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie: Und glauben Sie, dass viele Amerikaner Ihre Ansicht teilen?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Gregory Bovino: Absolut, das k&#246;nnen Sie wetten. Weil die Situation und die Probleme in den Vereinigten Staaten dieselben sind wie hier, sie sehen dieselben Probleme hier. Sie sehen dieselben Probleme in den Vereinigten Staaten. Also haben Sie viele Gleichgesinnte dort in den Vereinigten Staaten, die Ihnen alles Gute w&#252;nschen. Tats&#228;chlich haben Sie viele Menschen auf diesem Remigrationsgipfel aus den Vereinigten Staaten, weil sie Sie unterst&#252;tzen.</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/filmkvnst&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Video by Filmkunstkollektiv&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://x.com/filmkvnst"><span>Video by Filmkunstkollektiv</span></a></p><div class="pullquote"><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Voxeuropa Herald is an initiative that shares the voices shaping Europe today: elected officials, essayists, philosophers, activists, artists and influencers.

Where, in your view, does the AfD end and where does the movement begin?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Lena Kotre: That is a very good question. I think the two must flow into one another, so: clearly, it&#8217;s important that the AfD in parliament does the work, and it&#8217;s important that we have a right-wing support base, which is a multiplier for our ideas. But fundamentally, one must of course have a kind of collaboration here, which also at times flows fluidly into one another. Drawing firm boundaries on this question is rather difficult.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127467;&#127479; FRAN&#199;AIS</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Kobe Declercq: Vous avez partag&#233; la sc&#232;ne avec Martin Sellner et particip&#233; au Sommet sur la remigration en Italie.

Je pense que les deux doivent se fondre l&#8217;un dans l&#8217;autre, donc : il est clairement important que l&#8217;AfD fasse le travail au parlement, et il est important que nous ayons une base de soutien de droite, qui est un multiplicateur de nos id&#233;es. Mais fondamentalement, il faut bien s&#251;r avoir ici une forme de collaboration, qui par moments s&#8217;imbrique aussi fluidement l&#8217;une dans l&#8217;autre.

The immigration situation in Canada is absurd. Like, I would say we&#8217;ve been going through levels of mass immigration since the early &#8216;80s, but it&#8217;s gone into overdrive since about 2015, under the leadership of Justin Trudeau, who really just cranked all the all the different kind of immigration programs &#8212; temporary and permanent &#8212; to to eleven. Which even went even further in the post-COVID era, where all of a sudden we were getting over a million migrants a year, and we only have a population of &#8212; I mean, at the time, less than 40 million. Now a bit over 40 million.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The population&#8217;s skyrocketed, and it&#8217;s &#8212; it&#8217;s more majorly people from India, China and the Philippines &#8212; so these countries that are very culturally, ethnically, linguistically very different from Canada. And you&#8217;re you&#8217;re really seeing the impacts on our society, not only economically but culturally.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Our countries are becoming much less familiar. The community sense is erroding. What we once had &#8212; a very high-trust society, a very &#8212; a high level of politeness, we&#8217;re known for that &#8212; and everything&#8217;s gone. Like, people &#8212; now we have a country of strangers, where there&#8217;s no real common sense of identity.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">And that&#8217;s really being pushed right from the top. Like, our politicians are &#8212; all of our institutions push these notions that we&#8217;re a cultural mosaic, that we&#8217;re a multicultural society. And that&#8217;s embedded right into our constitution. And &#8212; it&#8217;s just &#8212; it&#8217;s dishonest. It&#8217;s not true to our history. And it&#8217;s kind of destroying us from within.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">So we need a a serious reaction. We need to not only slow things down, reduce the numbers &#8212; we need to reverse the flow. But that&#8217;s a very new concept to most people in the in the Canadian space. There&#8217;s again &#8212; there&#8217;s huge public support against immigration, for things like mass deportations. There&#8217;s an appetite for it, but none of the the political parties really want to touch it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Daniel Tyrie: It sounds quite bleak, but is there maybe a silver lining or anything to be optimistic about?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie: Well... We had a change in government in the last year. We have the same party in control, but a new prime minister. And there has been a major shift under this &#8212; despite there not being a change in in party &#8212; a lot of these immigration programs are trending downwards in the last year. We&#8217;ve had an 80% reduction in temporary foreign workers and an 80% reduction in foreign students. These temporary programs were a huge part of the problem. We&#8217;ve seen modest reductions as well in permanent residents. So things are trending in a better direction than they were.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But again, to to really save our society, we can&#8217;t just reduce the numbers &#8212; we need to take more bold steps to understand our identity, to protect it through immigration reform. So things have gotten a bit better &#8212; is the silver lining. But &#8212; they need to get much better and very soon. We&#8217;re heading in a bad direction, and unless drastic action is taken in the very near future &#8212; in the next five to 10 years &#8212; I&#8217;m very concerned we&#8217;re gonna lose what our what our ancestors created: a beautiful, unique society in North America.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127467;&#127479; FRAN&#199;AIS</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Daniel Tyrie: Pour ceux qui ne savent pas, pourriez-vous nous donner un aper&#231;u de la situation concernant l&#8217;immigration, et peut-&#234;tre la r&#233;migration &#8212; si c&#8217;est d&#233;j&#224; envisageable ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie: Ouais, ouais. La situation de l&#8217;immigration au Canada est absurde. Enfin, je dirais qu&#8217;on traverse des niveaux d&#8217;immigration de masse depuis le d&#233;but des ann&#233;es 80, mais &#231;a s&#8217;est emball&#233; &#224; partir de 2015 environ, sous la direction de Justin Trudeau, qui a vraiment pouss&#233; tous les tous les diff&#233;rents types de programmes d&#8217;immigration &#8212; temporaires et permanents &#8212; &#224; fond &#224; fond. Ce qui est all&#233; encore plus loin dans l&#8217;&#232;re post-COVID, o&#249; on se retrouvait soudainement &#224; accueillir plus d&#8217;un million de migrants par an, alors qu&#8217;on n&#8217;a qu&#8217;une population de &#8212; enfin, &#224; l&#8217;&#233;poque, moins de 40 millions. Maintenant un peu plus de 40 millions.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">La population a explos&#233;, et c&#8217;est &#8212; c&#8217;est majoritairement des gens d&#8217;Inde, de Chine et des Philippines &#8212; donc des pays qui sont tr&#232;s culturellement, ethniquement, linguistiquement tr&#232;s diff&#233;rents du Canada. Et on on voit vraiment les impacts sur notre soci&#233;t&#233;, pas seulement &#233;conomiquement mais culturellement.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nos pays deviennent beaucoup moins familiers. Le sentiment communautaire s&#8217;&#233;rode. Ce qu&#8217;on avait autrefois &#8212; une soci&#233;t&#233; &#224; tr&#232;s haute confiance, une tr&#232;s &#8212; un niveau &#233;lev&#233; de politesse, on est connus pour &#231;a &#8212; et tout &#231;a a disparu. Enfin, les gens &#8212; maintenant on a un pays d&#8217;&#233;trangers, o&#249; il n&#8217;y a plus vraiment de sens commun de l&#8217;identit&#233;.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Et &#231;a vient vraiment du sommet. Enfin, nos politiciens &#8212; toutes nos institutions poussent ces id&#233;es qu&#8217;on est une mosa&#239;que culturelle, qu&#8217;on est une soci&#233;t&#233; multiculturelle. Et c&#8217;est int&#233;gr&#233; dans notre constitution m&#234;me. Et &#8212; c&#8217;est juste &#8212; c&#8217;est malhonn&#234;te. Ce n&#8217;est pas fid&#232;le &#224; notre histoire. Et &#231;a nous d&#233;truit en quelque sorte de l&#8217;int&#233;rieur.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Donc on a besoin d&#8217;une d&#8217;une r&#233;action s&#233;rieuse. On doit non seulement ralentir les choses, r&#233;duire les chiffres &#8212; on doit inverser le flux. Mais c&#8217;est un concept tr&#232;s nouveau pour la plupart des gens dans dans l&#8217;espace canadien. Il y a encore &#8212; il y a un &#233;norme soutien public contre l&#8217;immigration, pour des choses comme les expulsions massives. Il y a un app&#233;tit pour &#231;a, mais aucun des des partis politiques ne veut vraiment y toucher.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Daniel Tyrie: &#199;a semble assez sombre, mais y a-t-il peut-&#234;tre une lueur d&#8217;espoir ou quelque chose d&#8217;optimiste ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie: Eh bien... On a eu un changement de gouvernement l&#8217;ann&#233;e derni&#232;re. On a le m&#234;me parti au pouvoir, mais un nouveau premier ministre. Et il y a eu un changement majeur sous ce &#8212; malgr&#233; l&#8217;absence de changement de de parti &#8212; beaucoup de ces programmes d&#8217;immigration sont en baisse depuis l&#8217;ann&#233;e derni&#232;re. On a eu une r&#233;duction de 80 % des travailleurs &#233;trangers temporaires et une r&#233;duction de 80 % des &#233;tudiants &#233;trangers. Ces programmes temporaires constituaient une grande partie du probl&#232;me. On a aussi observ&#233; des r&#233;ductions modestes des r&#233;sidents permanents. Donc les choses &#233;voluent dans une meilleure direction qu&#8217;avant.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Mais encore, pour pour vraiment sauver notre soci&#233;t&#233;, on ne peut pas juste r&#233;duire les chiffres &#8212; on doit prendre des mesures plus audacieuses pour comprendre notre identit&#233;, la prot&#233;ger &#224; travers une r&#233;forme de l&#8217;immigration. Donc les choses se sont un peu am&#233;lior&#233;es &#8212; c&#8217;est la lueur d&#8217;espoir. Mais &#8212; elles doivent s&#8217;am&#233;liorer beaucoup et tr&#232;s bient&#244;t. On se dirige dans une mauvaise direction, et &#224; moins que des mesures drastiques ne soient prises dans un avenir tr&#232;s proche &#8212; dans les cinq &#224; dix prochaines ann&#233;es &#8212; je suis tr&#232;s inquiet qu&#8217;on va perdre ce que nos ce que nos anc&#234;tres ont cr&#233;&#233; : une soci&#233;t&#233; belle et unique en Am&#233;rique du Nord.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127465;&#127466; DEUTSCH</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Daniel Tyrie: F&#252;r diejenigen, die es nicht wissen &#8212; k&#246;nnten Sie uns einen &#220;berblick &#252;ber die Lage in Bezug auf Einwanderung geben, und vielleicht Remigration &#8212; falls das &#252;berhaupt schon in Betracht kommt?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie: Ja, ja. Die Einwanderungssituation in Kanada ist absurd. Also, ich w&#252;rde sagen, wir erleben seit den fr&#252;hen 80er Jahren Masseneinwanderung, aber seit etwa 2015 hat das eine ganz neue Dimension angenommen, unter der F&#252;hrung von Justin Trudeau, der wirklich alle alle verschiedenen Arten von Einwanderungsprogrammen &#8212; tempor&#228;re und permanente &#8212; auf auf elf gedreht hat. Was in der Post-COVID-&#196;ra noch weiter gegangen ist, wo wir pl&#246;tzlich &#252;ber eine Million Migranten pro Jahr aufgenommen haben, bei einer Bev&#246;lkerung von &#8212; also, damals weniger als 40 Millionen. Jetzt etwas &#252;ber 40 Millionen.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Die Bev&#246;lkerung ist in die H&#246;he geschossen, und es sind &#8212; es sind &#252;berwiegend Menschen aus Indien, China und den Philippinen &#8212; also L&#228;nder, die kulturell, ethnisch, sprachlich sehr sehr verschieden von Kanada sind. Und man man sieht wirklich die Auswirkungen auf unsere Gesellschaft, nicht nur wirtschaftlich, sondern auch kulturell.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Unsere L&#228;nder werden viel weniger vertraut. Das Gemeinschaftsgef&#252;hl erodiert. Was wir einmal hatten &#8212; eine Gesellschaft mit sehr hohem Vertrauen, eine sehr &#8212; ein hohes Ma&#223; an H&#246;flichkeit, daf&#252;r sind wir bekannt &#8212; und das alles ist weg. Also, die Menschen &#8212; jetzt haben wir ein Land der Fremden, wo es kein wirkliches gemeinsames Identit&#228;tsgef&#252;hl mehr gibt.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Und das wird wirklich von ganz oben gef&#246;rdert. Also, unsere Politiker &#8212; alle unsere Institutionen f&#246;rdern diese Vorstellung, dass wir ein kulturelles Mosaik sind, dass wir eine multikulturelle Gesellschaft sind. Und das ist direkt in unserer Verfassung verankert. Und &#8212; das ist einfach &#8212; das ist unehrlich. Es entspricht nicht unserer Geschichte. Und es zerst&#246;rt uns gewisserma&#223;en von innen heraus.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Also brauchen wir eine eine ernsthafte Reaktion. Wir m&#252;ssen nicht nur die Dinge verlangsamen, die Zahlen reduzieren &#8212; wir m&#252;ssen den Fluss umkehren. Aber das ist ein sehr neues Konzept f&#252;r die meisten Menschen im im kanadischen Raum. Es gibt noch &#8212; es gibt enorme &#246;ffentliche Unterst&#252;tzung gegen Einwanderung, f&#252;r Dinge wie Massenabschiebungen. Es gibt einen Appetit daf&#252;r, aber keine der der politischen Parteien will das wirklich anfassen.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Daniel Tyrie: Das klingt ziemlich d&#252;ster, aber gibt es vielleicht einen Silberstreif am Horizont oder irgendetwas, wor&#252;ber man optimistisch sein kann?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie: Nun... Wir hatten im letzten Jahr einen Regierungswechsel. Wir haben dieselbe Partei an der Macht, aber einen neuen Premierminister. Und es gab eine gro&#223;e Verschiebung darunter &#8212; obwohl es keine &#196;nderung in in der Partei gab &#8212; viele dieser Einwanderungsprogramme sind im letzten Jahr r&#252;ckl&#228;ufig. Wir hatten eine 80-prozentige Reduzierung bei befristeten Fremdarbeitern und eine 80-prozentige Reduzierung bei ausl&#228;ndischen Studenten. Diese tempor&#228;ren Programme waren ein gro&#223;er Teil des Problems. Wir haben auch bescheidene Reduzierungen bei Daueraufenthaltsberechtigten gesehen. Also entwickeln sich die Dinge in eine bessere Richtung als zuvor.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Aber noch einmal, um um unsere Gesellschaft wirklich zu retten, k&#246;nnen wir nicht einfach die Zahlen reduzieren &#8212; wir m&#252;ssen mutigere Schritte unternehmen, um unsere Identit&#228;t zu verstehen, sie durch Einwanderungsreformen zu sch&#252;tzen. Also haben sich die Dinge etwas verbessert &#8212; das ist der Silberstreif. Aber &#8212; sie m&#252;ssen sich viel mehr und sehr bald verbessern. Wir bewegen uns in eine schlechte Richtung, und wenn nicht in naher Zukunft drastische Ma&#223;nahmen ergriffen werden &#8212; in den n&#228;chsten f&#252;nf bis zehn Jahren &#8212; bin ich sehr besorgt, dass wir verlieren werden, was unsere was unsere Vorfahren geschaffen haben: eine sch&#246;ne, einzigartige Gesellschaft in Nordamerika.</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/filmkvnst&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Video by Filmkunstkollektiv&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://x.com/filmkvnst"><span>Video by Filmkunstkollektiv</span></a></p><div class="pullquote"><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Voxeuropa Herald is an initiative that shares the voices shaping Europe today: elected officials, essayists, philosophers, activists, artists and influencers.

And what is the single biggest obstacle for you?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tomasz Froelich :</strong> Let&#8217;s start with the obstacle. I think the biggest obstacle within the right-wing movement, within the right-wing parties, is that we still have this kind of anachronistic national chauvinism. And I think we need to overcome this. Why? I have a Polish background, but I&#8217;m a German MEP and I&#8217;m a right-winger. Sometimes when I observe the discussions between the German right and the Polish right, I think: oh my god, what are we talking about? I think we have to fight the woke ideology, we need to fight the migration crisis, the green deindustrialization. And I think we need to strengthen ourselves. And I think this is why I think we should overcome this anachronistic national chauvinism, and we need to understand that there are a lot of policy fields where we need to cooperate on a European level. And this is one of the reasons why I&#8217;m in favor of a pro-European approach on the political right, because as I said, many problems that we are facing are also Polish, German, Italian, French problems. And we need to understand this. We are not living in the 20th century anymore and we need, as I said, we need to strengthen the ties between the political right-wing parties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward :</strong> ESN is the smallest group in the European Parliament at this moment. How do you punch above your weight and where have you actually shifted something in Brussels?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tomasz Froelich :</strong> Yeah, you&#8217;re right. We are the smallest political group in the European Parliament, but I think we already achieved a lot. When it comes to the remigration policy that was now implemented or that is going to be implemented by the European Parliament, I think it was thanks to the votes of the ESN that the European Parliament voted in favour of the most restrictive remigration policy since decades. And I think thanks to the AfD, we shifted the Overton window to the right. I think the ESN is a very interesting project because I mean, you attended the conference today. I think it was a very interesting conference. And I think that we have a more, more intellectual freedom here within ESN than in other political groups. And I think this is very important because we need we need intellectual debates on very important topics. And I think the ESN is a project that is promoting this way of thinking.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward:</strong> Tonight brings together academics, publishers and activists under one roof, in the centre of democracy in Europe. Is that a coalition Europe needs to rebuild itself?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tomasz Froelich :</strong> I think this is very important. We are cooperating with intellectuals, with influencers &#8212; we understand that if we want to change something, we need to gain cultural hegemony. So sometimes it&#8217;s very important to read also left-wing thinkers, like Gramsci, for example. He understood that if you want to change the mindset of the people, if you want to change the policy, if you want to change the power, you need to gain cultural hegemony. And I think we as ESN, we as AfD, we understood this, and now we are implementing this here on the European level. I mean, it&#8217;s a long way to go, but I think we already made some impressive efforts, I think we&#8217;re on the right track.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127467;&#127479; FRAN&#199;AIS</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward :</strong> Vous avez organis&#233; cette conf&#233;rence &#8220;Europe &#8212; Yes, but how?&#8221;. Quelle est votre r&#233;ponse ? Et quel est pour vous le principal obstacle ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tomasz Froelich :</strong> Commen&#231;ons par l&#8217;obstacle. Je pense que le principal obstacle au sein du mouvement de droite, au sein des partis de droite, c&#8217;est que nous souffrons encore de ce chauvinisme national anachronique. Et je pense que nous devons le d&#233;passer. Pourquoi ? J&#8217;ai des origines polonaises, mais je suis un eurod&#233;put&#233; allemand et je suis un homme de droite. Parfois, quand j&#8217;observe les discussions entre la droite allemande et la droite polonaise, je me dis : mon Dieu, de quoi sommes-nous en train de parler ? Je pense que nous devons combattre l&#8217;id&#233;ologie woke, nous devons combattre la crise migratoire, la d&#233;sindustrialisation verte. Et je pense que nous devons nous renforcer. Et c&#8217;est pourquoi je pense que nous devons d&#233;passer ce chauvinisme national anachronique, et nous devons comprendre qu&#8217;il existe de nombreux domaines politiques dans lesquels nous devons coop&#233;rer au niveau europ&#233;en. Et c&#8217;est l&#8217;une des raisons pour lesquelles je suis favorable &#224; une approche pro-europ&#233;enne au sein de la droite politique, parce que comme je l&#8217;ai dit, de nombreux probl&#232;mes auxquels nous sommes confront&#233;s sont aussi des probl&#232;mes polonais, allemands, italiens, fran&#231;ais. Et nous devons le comprendre. Nous ne vivons plus au XXe si&#232;cle et nous devons, comme je l&#8217;ai dit, nous devons renforcer les liens entre les partis politiques de droite.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward :</strong> L&#8217;ESN est le plus petit groupe au Parlement europ&#233;en &#224; l&#8217;heure actuelle. Comment faites-vous entendre votre voix au-del&#224; de votre poids politique et o&#249; avez-vous r&#233;ellement fait bouger les lignes &#224; Bruxelles ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tomasz Froelich :</strong> Oui, vous avez raison. Nous sommes le plus petit groupe politique au Parlement europ&#233;en, mais je pense que nous avons d&#233;j&#224; accompli beaucoup. En ce qui concerne la politique de remigration qui a &#233;t&#233; mise en &#339;uvre ou qui va &#234;tre mise en &#339;uvre par le Parlement europ&#233;en, je pense que c&#8217;est gr&#226;ce aux votes de l&#8217;ESN que le Parlement europ&#233;en a vot&#233; en faveur de la politique de remigration la plus restrictive depuis des d&#233;cennies. Et je pense que c&#8217;est gr&#226;ce &#224; l&#8217;AfD que nous avons d&#233;plac&#233; la fen&#234;tre d&#8217;Overton vers la droite. Je pense que l&#8217;ESN est un projet tr&#232;s int&#233;ressant parce que, enfin, vous avez assist&#233; &#224; la conf&#233;rence aujourd&#8217;hui. Je pense que c&#8217;&#233;tait une conf&#233;rence tr&#232;s int&#233;ressante. Et je pense que nous avons une libert&#233; intellectuelle plus grande, beaucoup plus grande ici au sein de l&#8217;ESN que dans les autres groupes politiques. Et je pense que c&#8217;est tr&#232;s important parce que nous avons besoin, nous avons besoin de d&#233;bats intellectuels sur des sujets tr&#232;s importants. Et je pense que l&#8217;ESN est un projet qui promeut cette fa&#231;on de penser.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward :</strong> Ce soir r&#233;unit des universitaires, des &#233;diteurs et des militants sous un m&#234;me toit, au c&#339;ur de la d&#233;mocratie en Europe. Est-ce l&#224; la coalition dont l&#8217;Europe a besoin pour se reconstruire ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tomasz Froelich :</strong> Je pense que c&#8217;est tr&#232;s important. Nous coop&#233;rons avec des intellectuels, avec des influenceurs &#8212; nous comprenons que si nous voulons changer quelque chose, nous devons conqu&#233;rir l&#8217;h&#233;g&#233;monie culturelle. Il est donc parfois tr&#232;s important de lire aussi des penseurs de gauche, comme Gramsci, par exemple. Il a compris que si vous voulez changer la mentalit&#233; des gens, si vous voulez changer la politique, si vous voulez changer le pouvoir, vous devez conqu&#233;rir l&#8217;h&#233;g&#233;monie culturelle. Et je pense que nous, l&#8217;ESN, nous, l&#8217;AfD, nous avons compris cela, et nous le mettons maintenant en &#339;uvre ici au niveau europ&#233;en. Enfin, il reste un long chemin &#224; parcourir, mais je pense que nous avons d&#233;j&#224; accompli des efforts impressionnants, je pense que nous sommes sur la bonne voie.</p><div class="pullquote"><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Voxeuropa Herald is an initiative that shares the voices shaping Europe today: elected officials, essayists, philosophers, activists, artists and influencers.

And what does that feel like?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Philipp Stein:</strong> Jungeuropa Verlag is probably the publishing house in Europe, full stop, that has made it its mission to carry out and implement translations from across Europe. And yes, it&#8217;s quite funny that we are repeatedly portrayed as nationalists or as particularly right-wing villains, when in the end we are &#8212; how should one put it &#8212; European nationalists who stand for a European exchange of ideas. And it&#8217;s quite good to be in the European Parliament, to be there on the ground, to lead the discussion and also have some hand in shaping it, which terms are being set and which terms matter. And that&#8217;s why today was a first move, alongside the books and the discussions and the podcasts &#8212; also a year to make some kind of realpolitical statement, to say, we are also contributing in the European Parliament to making the name Jungeuropa, Young Europe, known.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward:</strong> And the invitation to the European Parliament &#8212; is that a sign that things are shifting?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Philipp Stein:</strong> Yes, I do believe that the AfD as a party and many right-wing populist parties in general have understood that this course can no longer continue, this Trumpism, MAGA and saying, us alone against the world, but that one must cooperate at the European level, work together. Differently from how the EU has done it so far, differently from how the states have done it so far. And I do believe it is a sign that there are individual MEPs now. There are few, who have understood, yes, with whom one must work together, which panels one must participate in, which topics one must set. And Tomasz Froelich is one of them, naturally also through his &#8212; yes, one may say &#8212; European background, he sits in the European Parliament for the AfD, but actually comes from Poland, saying, I&#8217;ll make the opening move and we&#8217;ll discuss the European question.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward:</strong> The rebuilding requires ideas, but also dissemination. What does the identitarian right lack more today: good texts or good channels?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Philipp Stein:</strong> It actually lacks both. Hard as it may be to believe, it also lacks good texts. When we think of Dominique Venner, for example &#8212; I believe he is the greatest European integrative figure, who, across the French, German, Italian and all European peoples, is so to speak the most well-known person who has stood up for Europe. One must really say, for those who don&#8217;t know: you must read the texts of Dominique Venner. They breathe the European spirit, as does the Institut Iliad and of course ourselves too. And we also need good texts again. Of course, we publish good books, we translate good books. But in the end, perhaps what&#8217;s needed is something like a European manifesto, yes, on which all Europeans can somehow agree. And that must be more &#8212; and I say this very clearly &#8212; it must be more than remigration. Remigration, fine and good, it&#8217;s important. But we must also speak about many other topics. And we need good texts again. And that is more important than social media work. Don&#8217;t take it the wrong way, but young people are already doing that very, very well. I belong to the older generation myself. It is being done very, very well. Of course we need more reach, we need better channels, we need bigger figures. But at the end of the day, we also need much more substance again. We need more texts, we need thinkers. And I fear that the right, the European right currently, is too focused on social media and too little on producing content again.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward:</strong> What would be for you the concrete sign that the rebuilding of Europe has truly begun?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Philipp Stein:</strong> The first sign that a rebuilding of Europe has truly begun is that truly at events, young right-wingers of all nations gather. When we think of CasaPound, for example, who were the pioneers for over 20 years in this field, when we think of many French organisations &#8212; then there has been a great deal of rapprochement over the last 20 years. There are practically pilgrim sites, where European right-wingers travel, when there are events. But when you look at it: we as Jungeuropa Verlag, we have been translating for over 10 years, books from all over Europe. Who else is translating books? Very few. There are now tender shoots again, first publishers, translating books. The Institut Iliade has also started. But we are still too national in our thinking. We must translate more, we must invest more there, in money, in energy. And we still haven&#8217;t managed European problems &#8212; apart from the remigration question &#8212; we haven&#8217;t managed to discuss the European problems together. And we urgently need that. We really must become more European and truly mean it. And that is my appeal to all young activists, young publishers, young editors out there: take this seriously. Travel around, use your time and get to know your European comrades and members and whatever they may be. And make it happen.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127467;&#127479; FRAN&#199;AIS</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward :</strong> Alors, que fait une maison d&#8217;&#233;dition que la Foire du livre de Francfort pr&#233;f&#233;rerait interdire d&#8217;acc&#232;s, lors d&#8217;une conf&#233;rence au Parlement europ&#233;en ? Et qu&#8217;est-ce que cela fait ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Philipp Stein :</strong> Jungeuropa Verlag est probablement la maison d&#8217;&#233;dition en Europe, tout simplement, qui s&#8217;est donn&#233; pour mission de r&#233;aliser et de mettre en &#339;uvre des traductions de toute l&#8217;Europe. Et oui, c&#8217;est assez amusant que nous soyons r&#233;guli&#232;rement d&#233;peints comme des nationalistes ou comme des m&#233;chants particuli&#232;rement d&#8217;extr&#234;me droite, alors qu&#8217;en d&#233;finitive nous sommes &#8212; comment dire &#8212; des nationalistes europ&#233;ens qui d&#233;fendent un &#233;change d&#8217;id&#233;es europ&#233;en. Et c&#8217;est bien d&#8217;&#234;tre au Parlement europ&#233;en, d&#8217;&#234;tre l&#224; sur le terrain, de mener le d&#233;bat et d&#8217;avoir aussi une part dans la mani&#232;re de le fa&#231;onner, quels termes sont pos&#233;s et quels termes comptent. Et c&#8217;est pourquoi aujourd&#8217;hui &#233;tait un premier pas, aux c&#244;t&#233;s des livres, des discussions et des podcasts &#8212; aussi une ann&#233;e pour faire une sorte de d&#233;claration r&#233;alpolitique, pour dire : nous contribuons aussi au Parlement europ&#233;en &#224; faire conna&#238;tre le nom Jungeuropa, Jeune Europe.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward :</strong> Et l&#8217;invitation au Parlement europ&#233;en &#8212; est-ce un signe que les choses bougent ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Philipp Stein :</strong> Oui, je crois que l&#8217;AfD en tant que parti et de nombreux partis populistes de droite en g&#233;n&#233;ral ont compris que ce cap ne peut plus continuer, ce trumpisme, ce MAGA et ce discours : nous seuls contre le monde, mais qu&#8217;il faut coop&#233;rer au niveau europ&#233;en, travailler ensemble. Autrement que la fa&#231;on dont l&#8217;UE l&#8217;a fait jusqu&#8217;&#224; pr&#233;sent, autrement que la fa&#231;on dont les &#201;tats l&#8217;ont fait jusqu&#8217;&#224; pr&#233;sent. Et je crois que c&#8217;est un signe qu&#8217;il y a d&#233;sormais des eurod&#233;put&#233;s individuels. Ils sont peu nombreux, qui ont compris, oui, avec qui il faut travailler, &#224; quels panels il faut participer, quels sujets il faut imposer. Et Tomasz Froelich en fait partie, naturellement aussi gr&#226;ce &#224; ses origines &#8212; oui, on peut le dire &#8212; europ&#233;ennes, il si&#232;ge au Parlement europ&#233;en pour l&#8217;AfD, mais vient en r&#233;alit&#233; de Pologne, en disant : je fais le premier pas et nous allons d&#233;battre de la question europ&#233;enne.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward :</strong> La reconstruction n&#233;cessite des id&#233;es, mais aussi une diffusion. De quoi la droite identitaire manque-t-elle le plus aujourd&#8217;hui : de bons textes ou de bons canaux ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Philipp Stein :</strong> Elle manque en r&#233;alit&#233; des deux. Aussi difficile que cela soit &#224; croire, elle manque aussi de bons textes. Quand nous pensons &#224; Dominique Venner, par exemple &#8212; je crois qu&#8217;il est la plus grande figure d&#8217;int&#233;gration europ&#233;enne, qui, parmi les peuples fran&#231;ais, allemand, italien et tous les peuples europ&#233;ens, est pour ainsi dire la personnalit&#233; la plus connue qui se soit engag&#233;e pour l&#8217;Europe. Il faut vraiment dire, pour ceux qui ne le connaissent pas : il faut lire les textes de Dominique Venner. Ils respirent l&#8217;esprit europ&#233;en, tout comme l&#8217;Institut Iliade et bien s&#251;r nous-m&#234;mes. Et nous avons aussi &#224; nouveau besoin de bons textes. Bien s&#251;r, nous publions de bons livres, nous traduisons de bons livres. Mais en fin de compte, ce qui est peut-&#234;tre n&#233;cessaire, c&#8217;est quelque chose comme un manifeste europ&#233;en, oui, sur lequel tous les Europ&#233;ens pourraient d&#8217;une certaine fa&#231;on se mettre d&#8217;accord. Et cela doit &#234;tre davantage &#8212; et je le dis tr&#232;s clairement &#8212; cela doit &#234;tre davantage que la remigration. La remigration, c&#8217;est bien, c&#8217;est important. Mais nous devons aussi parler de bien d&#8217;autres sujets. Et nous avons besoin &#224; nouveau de bons textes. Et c&#8217;est plus important que le travail sur les r&#233;seaux sociaux. Ne le prenez pas mal, mais les jeunes le font d&#233;j&#224; tr&#232;s, tr&#232;s bien. J&#8217;appartiens moi-m&#234;me &#224; l&#8217;ancienne g&#233;n&#233;ration. Cela se fait tr&#232;s, tr&#232;s bien. Bien s&#251;r, nous avons besoin de plus de port&#233;e, de meilleurs canaux, de personnalit&#233;s plus importantes. Mais en fin de compte, nous avons aussi &#224; nouveau besoin de beaucoup plus de substance. Nous avons besoin de plus de textes, nous avons besoin de penseurs. Et je crains que la droite, la droite europ&#233;enne actuellement, soit trop concentr&#233;e sur les r&#233;seaux sociaux et trop peu sur la production de contenu.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward :</strong> Quel serait pour vous le signe concret que la reconstruction de l&#8217;Europe a vraiment commenc&#233; ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Philipp Stein :</strong> Le premier signe que la reconstruction de l&#8217;Europe a vraiment commenc&#233;, c&#8217;est que de jeunes gens de droite de toutes les nations se rassemblent vraiment lors d&#8217;&#233;v&#233;nements. Quand nous pensons &#224; CasaPound, par exemple, qui ont &#233;t&#233; des pionniers pendant plus de 20 ans dans ce domaine, quand nous pensons &#224; de nombreuses organisations fran&#231;aises &#8212; il y a alors eu un grand rapprochement au cours des 20 derni&#232;res ann&#233;es. Il y a pratiquement des lieux de p&#232;lerinage, o&#249; les gens de droite europ&#233;ens se rendent, lorsqu&#8217;il y a des &#233;v&#233;nements. Mais quand on y regarde : nous, Jungeuropa Verlag, nous traduisons depuis plus de 10 ans des livres de toute l&#8217;Europe. Qui d&#8217;autre traduit des livres ? Tr&#232;s peu. Il y a maintenant &#224; nouveau des pousses naissantes, des premiers &#233;diteurs qui traduisent des livres. L&#8217;Institut Iliade a aussi commenc&#233;. Mais nous pensons encore trop de mani&#232;re nationale. Nous devons traduire davantage, nous devons y investir davantage, en argent, en &#233;nergie. Et nous n&#8217;avons pas encore r&#233;ussi &#8212; les probl&#232;mes europ&#233;ens, &#224; l&#8217;exception de la question de la remigration &#8212; nous n&#8217;avons pas r&#233;ussi &#224; discuter ensemble des probl&#232;mes europ&#233;ens. Et nous en avons urgent besoin. Nous devons vraiment devenir plus europ&#233;ens et le vouloir sinc&#232;rement. Et c&#8217;est mon appel &#224; tous les jeunes militants, jeunes &#233;diteurs, jeunes r&#233;dacteurs l&#224; dehors : prenez cela au s&#233;rieux. Voyagez, utilisez votre temps et apprenez &#224; conna&#238;tre vos camarades et membres europ&#233;ens et peu importe comment on les appelle. Et faites-le arriver.</p><div class="pullquote"><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Voxeuropa Herald is an initiative that shares the voices shaping Europe today: elected officials, essayists, philosophers, activists, artists and influencers.

War times are times of collapsing order. And we are in war times, I mean, we are experiencing the European Union really preparing for war against Russia. So nobody knows what&#8217;s happened, what will happen, nobody has a crystal ball. Just posing the question of reconstruction means that many people apparently have a sentiment of delusion.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward:</strong> Your dismissal from Bonn was made final in 2025. What does that tell us about free speech in Germany today?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ulrike Gu&#233;rot:</strong> We will see, because now I deposit a plaint at the constitutional court. It&#8217;s going a little bit higher. And if the constitutional court will reject my plaint, then there is still a European level in Strasbourg with the European Convention &#8212; which freedoms have disappeared in Europe that you took for granted 10 years ago. Yeah, freedom of speech, I mean the &#8212; the rightness, I mean this sort of &#8212; it&#8217;s not even freedom, it&#8217;s the capacity to fight. Yeah, you know, I&#8217;m 61 and we fought in the 70s, you know, Willy Brandt or not, or Ostpolitik whatever. You know, but we never went personal &#8212; that was the difference. Yeah, we fought about arguments, we never went personal. And heated discussions were the norm. Smoking and discussing until 4:00am in the morning. Yeah, and now you have &#8212; I feel personally &#8212; living in a time in which the other argument already is an offense. Yeah. Somebody you discuss, you say an argument that the other person probably have not heard. Yeah, and then he &#8212; oh okay, let&#8217;s stop. Yeah, you know, the weather is nice. The weather is nice, yeah.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward:</strong> Who do you think bears the main responsibility of that?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ulrike Gu&#233;rot:</strong> I&#8217;m not finger pointing, you know. I mean, I even &#8212; not on &#8212; you know, whatever political classes or so. There is a cycle of history, yeah. I mean, if I had one answer, then it&#8217;s the neoliberal order of four decades, yeah. There&#8217;s a neoliberal order since the 80s that basically poured into our societies and that took away everything that we had in modernity &#8212; which is aestheticism, the truth, the beauty, you know, good culture like Pasolini, like you know whatever. Good education is gone, I mean. Our towns are gone, our villages. Because there again there is a huge effect of neoliberalisation, that you have towns now without a bakery, without a butcher, you know. I mean, there is really that living structures have been blown up. And I think that&#8217;s the origin of &#8212; that&#8217;s the original sin. And the original sin comes in essence from a neoliberal order which is disgusting.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward:</strong> In my opinion the EU has failed and NATO dictates foreign policy. How do you build a sovereign continent on those ruins, and where do you even start?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ulrike Gu&#233;rot:</strong> You always start with culture. And you start with finding yourself and your myths, you know. I mean the &#8212; and I think the most important task for Europeans, if we were to define ourselves as European citizens &#8212; yeah, I know you&#8217;re Belgian, I&#8217;m German, yeah &#8212; but I think we share la lettre, la Res Publica europea, we share something like a common culture or cultural grounding, right. And if we do so, and if we had a little sentiment that there is something European in us that makes us European citizens, yeah &#8212; I think the most important task would be to define ourselves and our culture as profoundly distinct from the American culture, on all fields. I mean, the religion is different, you know, the evangelical church where people pray to become a millionaire &#8212; it&#8217;s just not Franz von Assisi, yeah. We don&#8217;t do death capital &#8212; capital death &#8212; capital punishment. And even in terms of the economic order, if you realize that modern capitalism has been nurtured in the monasteries, you know, the beer breweries, you know &#8212; it is always tiny, it&#8217;s not oligarchic, it&#8217;s not &#8212; so there is a distinctive economic culture. And we have the word of republic for this common good, Almende, you know. And I think, you know, there is a German philosopher who says that the European culture is defined by the republic, la cit&#224;, Res publica, la cit&#224;, the town, le citoyen, and dignity &#8212; and you take these four words and you transpose them to the United States, you don&#8217;t find the Republic, you don&#8217;t find la cit&#224;, you know. So I think the moment we realize that we have a jewelry of European culture that unites us across &#8212; basically from Barcelona to whatever lodge or, you know &#8212; we could find something like serenity or emancipation. But we need to peel ourselves out of the self-perception that we are part of the transatlantic or Western order.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127467;&#127479; FRAN&#199;AIS</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward :</strong> Sur la reconstruction d&#8217;un continent &#8212; qu&#8217;est-ce qui doit s&#8217;effondrer d&#8217;abord avant de pouvoir reconstruire ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ulrike Gu&#233;rot :</strong> En effet, quelque chose doit s&#8217;effondrer. Les temps de guerre sont des temps d&#8217;effondrement de l&#8217;ordre. Et nous sommes en temps de guerre, je veux dire, nous voyons l&#8217;Union europ&#233;enne se pr&#233;parer r&#233;ellement &#224; la guerre contre la Russie. Donc personne ne sait ce qui s&#8217;est pass&#233;, ce qui va se passer, personne n&#8217;a de boule de cristal. Le simple fait de poser la question de la reconstruction signifie que beaucoup de gens ont apparemment un sentiment de d&#233;sillusion.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward :</strong> Votre r&#233;vocation de Bonn a &#233;t&#233; d&#233;finitivement prononc&#233;e en 2025. Qu&#8217;est-ce que cela nous dit sur la libert&#233; d&#8217;expression en Allemagne aujourd&#8217;hui ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ulrike Gu&#233;rot :</strong> On verra, parce que maintenant je d&#233;pose une plainte devant la cour constitutionnelle. Cela monte un peu plus haut. Et si la cour constitutionnelle rejette ma plainte, il reste encore un niveau europ&#233;en &#224; Strasbourg avec la Convention europ&#233;enne &#8212; quelles libert&#233;s ont disparu en Europe que vous consid&#233;riez comme acquises il y a 10 ans. Oui, la libert&#233; d&#8217;expression, je veux dire &#8212; la justesse, je veux dire cette sorte de &#8212; ce n&#8217;est m&#234;me pas la libert&#233;, c&#8217;est la capacit&#233; &#224; se battre. Oui, vous savez, j&#8217;ai 61 ans et nous nous battions dans les ann&#233;es 70, vous savez, Willy Brandt ou pas, ou l&#8217;Ostpolitik ou quoi que ce soit. Vous savez, mais on n&#8217;attaquait jamais les personnes &#8212; c&#8217;&#233;tait la diff&#233;rence. Oui, on se battait sur des arguments, on n&#8217;attaquait jamais les personnes. Et les discussions enflamm&#233;es &#233;taient la norme. Fumer et discuter jusqu&#8217;&#224; 4h du matin. Oui, et maintenant vous avez &#8212; je ressens personnellement &#8212; vivre une &#233;poque dans laquelle l&#8217;autre argument est d&#233;j&#224; une offense. Oui. Quelqu&#8217;un avec qui vous discutez, vous avancez un argument que l&#8217;autre personne n&#8217;a probablement pas entendu. Oui, et alors il &#8212; oh d&#8217;accord, arr&#234;tons-nous. Oui, vous savez, le temps est beau. Le temps est beau, oui.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward :</strong> Qui pensez-vous porte la principale responsabilit&#233; de cela ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ulrike Gu&#233;rot :</strong> Je ne pointe personne du doigt, vous savez. Je veux dire, m&#234;me &#8212; pas sur &#8212; vous savez, quelles que soient les classes politiques ou autre. Il y a un cycle de l&#8217;histoire, oui. Je veux dire, si j&#8217;avais une r&#233;ponse, ce serait l&#8217;ordre n&#233;olib&#233;ral de quatre d&#233;cennies, oui. Il y a un ordre n&#233;olib&#233;ral depuis les ann&#233;es 80 qui a fondamentalement impr&#233;gn&#233; nos soci&#233;t&#233;s et qui a tout pris ce que nous avions dans la modernit&#233; &#8212; c&#8217;est-&#224;-dire l&#8217;esth&#233;tisme, la v&#233;rit&#233;, le beau, vous savez, la bonne culture comme Pasolini, comme vous savez quoi. La bonne &#233;ducation a disparu, je veux dire. Nos villes ont disparu, nos villages. Parce que l&#224; encore il y a un &#233;norme effet de n&#233;olib&#233;ralisation, si bien que vous avez des villes maintenant sans boulangerie, sans boucher, vous savez. Je veux dire, il y a vraiment ce fait que les structures de vie ont &#233;t&#233; d&#233;truites. Et je pense que c&#8217;est l&#8217;origine de &#8212; c&#8217;est le p&#233;ch&#233; originel. Et le p&#233;ch&#233; originel vient en essence d&#8217;un ordre n&#233;olib&#233;ral qui est d&#233;go&#251;tant.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward :</strong> &#192; mon avis l&#8217;UE a &#233;chou&#233; et l&#8217;OTAN dicte la politique &#233;trang&#232;re. Comment construire un continent souverain sur ces ruines, et par o&#249; commence-t-on m&#234;me ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ulrike Gu&#233;rot :</strong> On commence toujours par la culture. Et on commence par se retrouver soi-m&#234;me et ses mythes, vous savez. Je veux dire &#8212; et je pense que la t&#226;che la plus importante pour les Europ&#233;ens, si nous devions nous d&#233;finir comme citoyens europ&#233;ens &#8212; oui, je sais que vous &#234;tes belge, je suis allemande, oui &#8212; mais je pense que nous partageons la lettre, la Res Publica europea, nous partageons quelque chose comme une culture commune ou un ancrage culturel commun, n&#8217;est-ce pas. Et si c&#8217;est le cas, et si nous avions un petit sentiment qu&#8217;il y a quelque chose d&#8217;europ&#233;en en nous qui fait de nous des citoyens europ&#233;ens, oui &#8212; je pense que la t&#226;che la plus importante serait de nous d&#233;finir, nous et notre culture, comme profond&#233;ment distincts de la culture am&#233;ricaine, dans tous les domaines. Je veux dire, la religion est diff&#233;rente, vous savez, l&#8217;&#201;glise &#233;vang&#233;lique o&#249; les gens prient pour devenir millionnaires &#8212; ce n&#8217;est tout simplement pas Fran&#231;ois d&#8217;Assise, oui. Nous n&#8217;avons pas la peine de mort &#8212; la peine capitale. Et m&#234;me en termes d&#8217;ordre &#233;conomique, si vous r&#233;alisez que le capitalisme moderne a &#233;t&#233; nourri dans les monast&#232;res, vous savez, les brasseries de bi&#232;re, vous savez &#8212; c&#8217;est toujours petit, ce n&#8217;est pas oligarchique, ce n&#8217;est pas &#8212; donc il y a une culture &#233;conomique distincte. Et nous avons le mot de r&#233;publique pour ce bien commun, Almende, vous savez. Et je pense, vous savez, qu&#8217;il y a un philosophe allemand qui dit que la culture europ&#233;enne est d&#233;finie par la r&#233;publique, la cit&#224;, Res publica, la cit&#224;, la ville, le citoyen, et la dignit&#233; &#8212; et vous prenez ces quatre mots et vous les transposez aux &#201;tats-Unis, vous ne trouvez pas la R&#233;publique, vous ne trouvez pas la cit&#224;, vous savez. Donc je pense que le moment o&#249; nous r&#233;alisons que nous avons un joyau de culture europ&#233;enne qui nous unit &#224; travers &#8212; essentiellement de Barcelone &#224; je ne sais quel lodge ou, vous savez &#8212; nous pourrions trouver quelque chose comme la s&#233;r&#233;nit&#233; ou l&#8217;&#233;mancipation. Mais nous devons nous d&#233;pouiller de la auto-perception que nous faisons partie de l&#8217;ordre transatlantique ou occidental.</p><div class="pullquote"><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Voxeuropa Herald is an initiative that shares the voices shaping Europe today: elected officials, essayists, philosophers, activists, artists and influencers.

Metapolitics must lay the foundations &#8212; meaning we need a positive narrative of our own about Europe. Where do we want to go? Who are we? What defines us? What on our continent is even worth preserving? That is the metapolitical level. And the realpolitik level is then the question: how do we put this into practice? What can we actually implement? How can we build a new Europe? And from the right, at that. Not just abstractly on the drawing board, but concretely, in real life.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward:</strong> And without a strong cultural vanguard, can realpolitik even deliver?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Benedikt Kaiser:</strong> I would say: no. Because realpolitik needs to draw impulses from somewhere, and those impulses come from what&#8217;s called the &#8220;Vorfeld.&#8221; And ideally, this is not a contradiction in the sense of: here the Vorfeld, and over there realpolitik &#8212; but ideally, they interact, they correct each other, they give each other impulses, they help and support one another.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward:</strong> At the Iliade Institute, you said that the European right had never managed to work internationally. This conference tonight &#8212; is this the answer to that?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Benedikt Kaiser:</strong> It is a small answer. Ultimately, much more needs to happen, of course. But we are in a situation where right-wing populism has for decades only been against things: against the EU, against this and that, but not there fighting for something. And I think that is what we&#8217;re now experiencing: that this is now turning around. And an event like this can help with that &#8212; it will also help. But let&#8217;s not fool ourselves: this alone is not enough.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward:</strong> And what specifically is still missing?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Benedikt Kaiser:</strong> What&#8217;s missing are far more European forums, meeting places. Much more mutual translation needs to happen. In today&#8217;s world, with AI and everything available, it is actually much easier to get to know and understand one another. We need to hold more international conferences, European gatherings, European networks, European exchanges. When you know each other, when you respect each other, when you perhaps even trust each other within a political framework, then you can also build far more stable long-term relationships, and perhaps also build a shared Europe of tomorrow together.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward:</strong> ESN is organizing this conference in the European Parliament &#8212; has the Vorfeld now arrived in Parliament, or is it in danger there of dissolving?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Benedikt Kaiser:</strong> Well, I wouldn&#8217;t see it so drastically. The event was organized by Tomasz Froelich for the AfD and for ESN in the European Parliament. He is someone for whom it has always been very important as an MEP that alongside realpolitik, alongside his day-to-day work, what he must deliver as an MEP &#8212; which is perfectly clear &#8212; it is very important to him that ideological, worldview-building work also gets done. And he also sees that the European Parliament, that European parties too are an interface not only between different peoples, between different parties, but also between different schools of thought. And today he brought them together.</p><h6 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Vorfeld</strong> (German term, literally &#8220;pre-field&#8221;) refers to the political and cultural space that operates upstream of parties and institutions. It encompasses publishing houses, think tanks, journals, cultural associations and intellectual networks &#8212; everything that produces ideas, narratives and frameworks of thought before they enter the formal political arena. In the tradition of the German-speaking right, the Vorfeld is regarded as the indispensable groundwork for any lasting political action: it is where cultural hegemony is formed before translating into realpolitik.</h6><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127467;&#127479; FRAN&#199;AIS</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward :</strong> Reconstruire un continent &#8212; est-ce de la m&#233;tapolitique ou de la realpolitik, et qui fait quoi ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Benedikt Kaiser :</strong> C&#8217;est les deux. La m&#233;tapolitique doit poser les fondations &#8212; ce qui signifie que nous avons besoin d&#8217;un r&#233;cit positif qui nous soit propre sur l&#8217;Europe. O&#249; voulons-nous aller ? Qui sommes-nous ? Qu&#8217;est-ce qui nous d&#233;finit ? Qu&#8217;est-ce qui sur notre continent m&#233;rite m&#234;me d&#8217;&#234;tre pr&#233;serv&#233; ? C&#8217;est le niveau m&#233;tapolitique. Et le niveau realpolitik est ensuite la question : comment mettons-nous cela en pratique ? Que pouvons-nous r&#233;ellement mettre en &#339;uvre ? Comment pouvons-nous construire une nouvelle Europe ? Et par la droite, qui plus est. Pas seulement de mani&#232;re abstraite sur le papier, mais concr&#232;tement, dans la vraie vie.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward :</strong> Et sans une avant-garde culturelle forte, la realpolitik peut-elle seulement produire des r&#233;sultats ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Benedikt Kaiser :</strong> Je dirais : non. Parce que la realpolitik a besoin de puiser des impulsions quelque part, et ces impulsions viennent de ce qu&#8217;on appelle le &#8220;Vorfeld.&#8221; Et id&#233;alement, ce n&#8217;est pas une contradiction dans le sens de : ici le Vorfeld, et l&#224;-bas la realpolitik &#8212; mais id&#233;alement, ils interagissent, ils se corrigent mutuellement, ils se donnent des impulsions, ils s&#8217;entraident et se soutiennent.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward :</strong> &#192; l&#8217;Institut Iliade, vous avez dit que la droite europ&#233;enne n&#8217;avait jamais r&#233;ussi &#224; travailler au niveau international. Cette conf&#233;rence ce soir &#8212; est-ce la r&#233;ponse &#224; cela ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Benedikt Kaiser :</strong> C&#8217;est une petite r&#233;ponse. En fin de compte, il faut bien s&#251;r que bien plus se passe encore. Mais nous sommes dans une situation o&#249; le populisme de droite a pendant des d&#233;cennies seulement &#233;t&#233; contre des choses : contre l&#8217;UE, contre ceci et cela, mais pas l&#224; &#224; se battre pour quelque chose. Et je pense que c&#8217;est ce que nous vivons maintenant : que cela est en train de changer. Et un &#233;v&#233;nement comme celui-ci peut y contribuer &#8212; il y contribuera aussi. Mais ne nous leurrons pas : cela seul ne suffit pas.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward :</strong> Et qu&#8217;est-ce qui manque concr&#232;tement encore ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Benedikt Kaiser :</strong> Ce qui manque, ce sont beaucoup plus de forums europ&#233;ens, de lieux de rencontre. Beaucoup plus de traductions mutuelles doivent se produire. Dans le monde d&#8217;aujourd&#8217;hui, avec l&#8217;IA et tout ce qui est disponible, il est en r&#233;alit&#233; bien plus facile de se conna&#238;tre et de se comprendre. Nous devons organiser davantage de conf&#233;rences internationales, de rassemblements europ&#233;ens, de r&#233;seaux europ&#233;ens, d&#8217;&#233;changes europ&#233;ens. Quand on se conna&#238;t, quand on se respecte, quand on se fait peut-&#234;tre m&#234;me confiance dans un cadre politique, alors on peut aussi construire des relations &#224; long terme bien plus stables, et peut-&#234;tre aussi construire ensemble une Europe commune de demain.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ward :</strong> L&#8217;ESN organise cette conf&#233;rence au Parlement europ&#233;en &#8212; le Vorfeld est-il maintenant arriv&#233; au Parlement, ou risque-t-il de s&#8217;y dissoudre ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Benedikt Kaiser :</strong> Eh bien, je ne le vois pas de mani&#232;re aussi dramatique. L&#8217;&#233;v&#233;nement a &#233;t&#233; organis&#233; par Tomasz Froelich pour l&#8217;AfD et pour l&#8217;ESN au Parlement europ&#233;en. C&#8217;est quelqu&#8217;un pour qui il a toujours &#233;t&#233; tr&#232;s important en tant qu&#8217;eurod&#233;put&#233; que, parall&#232;lement &#224; la realpolitik, parall&#232;lement &#224; son travail quotidien, ce qu&#8217;il doit accomplir en tant qu&#8217;eurod&#233;put&#233; &#8212; ce qui est parfaitement clair &#8212; il lui tient tr&#232;s &#224; c&#339;ur que le travail id&#233;ologique, de construction d&#8217;une vision du monde, soit aussi accompli. Et il voit aussi que le Parlement europ&#233;en, que les partis europ&#233;ens aussi sont une interface non seulement entre diff&#233;rents peuples, entre diff&#233;rents partis, mais aussi entre diff&#233;rentes &#233;coles de pens&#233;e. Et aujourd&#8217;hui il les a r&#233;unis.</p><h6 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Vorfeld</strong> (terme allemand, litt&#233;ralement &#8220;avant-champ&#8221;) d&#233;signe l&#8217;espace politique et culturel situ&#233; en amont des partis et des institutions. Il regroupe les maisons d&#8217;&#233;dition, les think tanks, les revues, les associations culturelles, les r&#233;seaux intellectuels &#8212; tout ce qui produit des id&#233;es, des r&#233;cits et des cadres de pens&#233;e avant qu&#8217;ils n&#8217;entrent dans le champ politique proprement dit. Dans la tradition de la droite germanophone, le Vorfeld est consid&#233;r&#233; comme le terreau indispensable &#224; toute action politique durable : c&#8217;est l&#224; que se forme l&#8217;h&#233;g&#233;monie culturelle avant de se traduire en realpolitik.</h6><div class="pullquote"><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Voxeuropa Herald is an initiative that shares the voices shaping Europe today: elected officials, essayists, philosophers, activists, artists and influencers.

Sa, l&#8217;Italia &#232; un mosaico di tradizioni, storie, culture e popoli diversi. E tutto questo sta scomparendo, perch&#233; prima di tutto non abbiamo figli, non facciamo figli. E in secondo luogo, c&#8217;&#232; una massa di persone straniere, culture straniere, che arriva in poco tempo. E questo costituir&#224; una sostituzione nel prossimo futuro.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie : Ed &#232; qui oggi con persone da tutta Europa al Remigration Summit. Quali sono le cose principali che ha imparato o che porter&#224; via da oggi?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Andrea Ballarati : Beh, di nuovo, sono molto orgoglioso di questo evento da quando ho organizzato il primo, il primo Remigration Summit. Siamo raddoppiati in dimensioni e via dicendo, e non &#232; solo l&#8217;Europa &#8212; &#232; il mondo intero che &#232; qui. E quello che ho imparato &#232; che esiste la possibilit&#224; di coordinarsi, di unirsi a livello globale, semplicemente perch&#233; facciamo parte o siamo discendenti della stessa civilt&#224;. Quindi &#232; possibile superare le nostre piccole differenze, unirsi contro una minaccia comune, puntare a un obiettivo comune.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie : E un&#8217;ultima domanda: come pensa che le istituzioni europee possano rendere concreta la remigrazione? Quali passi sono necessari?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Andrea Ballarati : Beh, prima di tutto devono cambiare la loro mentalit&#224; nei confronti del popolo europeo, perch&#233; queste istituzioni europee rappresentano pi&#249; un&#8217;istituzione burocratica, diciamo, che qualcosa di scelto dal popolo, per il popolo. Quindi questa &#232; la prima cosa che deve davvero cambiare: ci deve essere pi&#249; dialogo da parte delle istituzioni con la gente stessa. Devono ascoltarci, ascoltare le nostre lamentele. Sembra che ci stiano semplicemente ignorando, o che stiano cercando attivamente di reprimere e distruggere la nostra civilt&#224;, la civilt&#224; europea. Questa &#232; quindi la prima cosa. La seconda cosa &#232; che devono semplicemente accettare il fatto che vinceremo.</p><p>&#127468;&#127463; ENGLISH</p><p>Maddie : So, how is Italian identity under threat from mass immigration?</p><p>Andrea Ballarati : Straightforward question, and there is a straightforward answer. You know, Italy is a mosaic of different traditions, histories, cultures and peoples. And all of that is disappearing, because first of all, we don&#8217;t have children, we are not making children. And second of all, you have a mass of foreign people, foreign cultures, that is coming in in a short amount of time. And this will constitute a replacement in the near future.</p><p>Maddie : And you&#8217;re here today with people from all across Europe at the Remigration Summit. What are the main things that you&#8217;ve learned or that you&#8217;ll take away from today?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Andrea Ballarati : Well, again, I&#8217;m very proud of this event since I organized the first one, the first Remigration Summit. We have doubled in size and all of that, and it&#8217;s not only Europ &#8212; it&#8217;s the world that&#8217;s here. And what I&#8217;ve learned is the fact that there is a possibility to coordinate, to unite at a global level, just because we are part or descendants of the same civilization. So it is possible to overcome our petty differences, to unite against a common threat, to go for a common goal.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie : And one final question: how do you think that European institutions can make remigration happen? What kind of steps are necessary?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Andrea Ballarati : Well, first of all, they need to change their mentality towards the European people, because these European institutions represent more of a bureaucratic, let&#8217;s say, institution, rather than something that&#8217;s selected by the people, for the people. So this is the first thing that really needs to change: there needs to be more dialogue from the institutions with the people themselves. They need to listen to us, to our grievances. It looks like they are just ignoring us, or that they are actively trying to repress and destroy our civilization, European civilization. So that&#8217;s the first thing. The second thing is that, well, they just need to accept the fact that we are going to win.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127467;&#127479; FRAN&#199;AIS</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie : Alors, de quelle fa&#231;on l&#8217;identit&#233; italienne est-elle menac&#233;e par l&#8217;immigration de masse ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Andrea Ballarati : Question directe, et il y a une r&#233;ponse directe. Vous savez, l&#8217;Italie est une mosa&#239;que de traditions, d&#8217;histoires, de cultures et de peuples diff&#233;rents. Et tout cela est en train de dispara&#238;tre, parce que premi&#232;rement, nous n&#8217;avons pas d&#8217;enfants, nous ne faisons pas d&#8217;enfants. Et deuxi&#232;mement, vous avez une masse de gens &#233;trangers, de cultures &#233;trang&#232;res, qui arrivent en peu de temps. Et cela constituera un remplacement dans un avenir proche.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie : Et vous &#234;tes ici aujourd&#8217;hui avec des gens de toute l&#8217;Europe au Remigration Summit. Quelles sont les principales choses que vous avez apprises ou que vous retenez de la journ&#233;e ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Andrea Ballarati : Eh bien, encore une fois, je suis tr&#232;s fier de cet &#233;v&#233;nement depuis que j&#8217;ai organis&#233; le premier, le premier Remigration Summit. Nous avons doubl&#233; de taille et tout &#231;a, et ce n&#8217;est pas seulement l&#8217;Europe &#8212; c&#8217;est le monde entier qui est l&#224;. Et ce que j&#8217;ai appris, c&#8217;est qu&#8217;il est possible de se coordonner, de s&#8217;unir &#224; l&#8217;&#233;chelle mondiale, simplement parce que nous faisons partie ou sommes descendants de la m&#234;me civilisation. Donc il est possible de surmonter nos petites diff&#233;rences, de s&#8217;unir contre une menace commune, de viser un objectif commun.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie : Et une derni&#232;re question : comment pensez-vous que les institutions europ&#233;ennes peuvent concr&#233;tiser la remigration ? Quelles &#233;tapes sont n&#233;cessaires ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Andrea Ballarati : Eh bien, premi&#232;rement, elles doivent changer leur &#233;tat d&#8217;esprit envers le peuple europ&#233;en, parce que ces institutions europ&#233;ennes repr&#233;sentent davantage une institution bureaucratique, disons, plut&#244;t que quelque chose qui est choisi par le peuple, pour le peuple. Donc c&#8217;est la premi&#232;re chose qui doit vraiment changer : il faut plus de dialogue des institutions avec les gens eux-m&#234;mes. Elles doivent nous &#233;couter, &#233;couter nos griefs. Il semblerait qu&#8217;elles nous ignorent simplement, ou qu&#8217;elles essaient activement de r&#233;primer et de d&#233;truire notre civilisation, la civilisation europ&#233;enne. Donc c&#8217;est la premi&#232;re chose. La deuxi&#232;me chose, c&#8217;est qu&#8217;elles doivent simplement accepter le fait que nous allons gagner.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127465;&#127466; DEUTSCH</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie : Wie also wird die italienische Identit&#228;t durch Masseneinwanderung bedroht?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Andrea Ballarati : Eine direkte Frage, und es gibt eine direkte Antwort. Wissen Sie, Italien ist ein Mosaik verschiedener Traditionen, Geschichten, Kulturen und V&#246;lker. Und all das verschwindet, weil wir erstens keine Kinder haben, wir machen keine Kinder. Und zweitens haben Sie eine Masse an fremden Menschen, fremden Kulturen, die in kurzer Zeit hereinkommt. Und das wird in naher Zukunft eine Ersetzung darstellen.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie : Und Sie sind heute hier mit Menschen aus ganz Europa beim Remigration Summit. Was sind die wichtigsten Dinge, die Sie gelernt haben oder die Sie von heute mitnehmen?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Andrea Ballarati : Nun, ich bin sehr stolz auf diese Veranstaltung, seit ich die erste organisiert habe, den ersten Remigration Summit. Wir haben uns in der Gr&#246;&#223;e verdoppelt und so weiter, und es ist nicht nur Europa &#8212; die ganze Welt ist hier. Und was ich gelernt habe, ist die Tatsache, dass es m&#246;glich ist, sich zu koordinieren, sich auf globaler Ebene zu vereinen, einfach weil wir Teil derselben Zivilisation sind oder von ihr abstammen. Es ist also m&#246;glich, unsere kleinen Unterschiede zu &#252;berwinden, uns gegen eine gemeinsame Bedrohung zu vereinen, ein gemeinsames Ziel zu verfolgen.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maddie : Und eine letzte Frage: Wie k&#246;nnen die europ&#228;ischen Institutionen Ihrer Meinung nach die Remigration verwirklichen? Welche Schritte sind notwendig?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Andrea Ballarati : Nun, zun&#228;chst m&#252;ssen sie ihre Einstellung gegen&#252;ber dem europ&#228;ischen Volk &#228;ndern, denn diese europ&#228;ischen Institutionen stellen eher eine b&#252;rokratische Institution dar, die nicht vom Volk gew&#228;hlt wurde und nicht f&#252;r das Volk da ist. Das ist also die erste Sache, die sich wirklich &#228;ndern muss: Es muss mehr Dialog der Institutionen mit den Menschen selbst geben. Sie m&#252;ssen uns zuh&#246;ren, unseren Klagen. Es scheint, als w&#252;rden sie uns einfach ignorieren, oder dass sie aktiv versuchen, unsere Zivilisation, die europ&#228;ische Zivilisation, zu unterdr&#252;cken und zu zerst&#246;ren. Das ist also die erste Sache. Die zweite Sache ist, dass sie einfach die Tatsache akzeptieren m&#252;ssen, dass wir gewinnen werden.</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/filmkvnst&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Video by Filmkunstkollektiv&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://x.com/filmkvnst"><span>Video by Filmkunstkollektiv</span></a></p><div class="pullquote"><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Voxeuropa Herald is an initiative that shares the voices shaping Europe today: elected officials, essayists, philosophers, activists, artists and influencers.

It is something that you inherit, you inherit it from your ancestors. It is more than just a paper reality. I think we can all agree on that fact. Just because you have a passport of a certain nation doesn&#8217;t mean that you are of that ethnicity and that ethnocultural background. And that is exactly what we are trying to preserve here. That is a privilege, but it&#8217;s also something that you have a duty to protect and to pass on. And I think that is what being European is about: embracing that heritage and fighting for it, because so many people have died protecting it. We are facing a lot of hardship, but hopefully we are not dying for it yet.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127467;&#127479; FRAN&#199;AIS</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Kobe Declercq: Qu&#8217;est-ce que cela signifie pour vous d&#8217;&#234;tre Europ&#233;en aujourd&#8217;hui, pas comme une id&#233;e abstraite, mais dans votre vie concr&#232;te ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Eva Vlaardingerbroek: &#202;tre Europ&#233;en, comme vous le dites, n&#8217;est pas une id&#233;e abstraite. C&#8217;est quelque chose que l&#8217;on h&#233;rite, on l&#8217;h&#233;rite de ses anc&#234;tres. C&#8217;est plus qu&#8217;une simple r&#233;alit&#233; administrative. Je pense que nous pouvons tous nous accorder sur ce fait. Le seul fait de poss&#233;der le passeport d&#8217;une certaine nation ne signifie pas que l&#8217;on est de cette ethnie et de cet arri&#232;re-plan ethnoculturel. Et c&#8217;est pr&#233;cis&#233;ment ce que nous essayons de pr&#233;server ici. C&#8217;est un privil&#232;ge, mais c&#8217;est aussi quelque chose que l&#8217;on a le devoir de prot&#233;ger et de transmettre. Et je pense que c&#8217;est en cela que consiste le fait d&#8217;&#234;tre Europ&#233;en : embrasser cet h&#233;ritage et le d&#233;fendre, parce que tant de personnes sont mortes pour le prot&#233;ger. Nous faisons face &#224; beaucoup d&#8217;&#233;preuves, mais esp&#233;rons que nous n&#8217;en mourrons pas encore.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127465;&#127466; DEUTSCH</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Kobe Declercq: Was bedeutet es f&#252;r Sie heute, Europ&#228;er zu sein &#8212; nicht als abstrakte Idee, sondern in Ihrem konkreten Leben?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Eva Vlaardingerbroek: Europ&#228;er zu sein, wie Sie sagen, ist keine abstrakte Idee. Es ist etwas, das man erbt, man erbt es von seinen Vorfahren. Es ist mehr als nur eine b&#252;rokratische Realit&#228;t. Ich denke, wir k&#246;nnen uns alle auf diese Tatsache einigen. Nur weil man den Pass einer bestimmten Nation besitzt, bedeutet das nicht, dass man dieser Ethnizit&#228;t und diesem ethnokulturellen Hintergrund angeh&#246;rt. Und genau das ist es, was wir hier zu bewahren versuchen. Das ist ein Privileg, aber es ist auch etwas, das man die Pflicht hat zu sch&#252;tzen und weiterzugeben. Und ich denke, darum geht es beim Europ&#228;ersein: dieses Erbe anzunehmen und daf&#252;r zu k&#228;mpfen, weil so viele Menschen gestorben sind, um es zu sch&#252;tzen. Wir stehen vor vielen Schwierigkeiten, aber hoffentlich sterben wir noch nicht daf&#252;r.</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/filmkvnst&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Video by Filmkunstkollektiv&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://x.com/filmkvnst"><span>Video by Filmkunstkollektiv</span></a></p><div class="pullquote"><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Voxeuropa Herald is an initiative that shares the voices shaping Europe today: elected officials, essayists, philosophers, activists, artists and influencers.

Concretely, how do you get there?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maximilian M&#228;rkl : I think the biggest challenge is to inspire the German youth that there is something to fight for, that they don&#8217;t become desperate because they look out of their window and see everywhere migrants and the state, and they become afraid. And I think there&#8217;s a need for a movement on the streets, a movement for the youth also, besides the party. I have huge respect for Generation Deutschland. I think they do important work, but there has to be a youth movement on the street.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&#127467;&#127479; FRAN&#199;AIS </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Kobe Declercq : Vous avez quitt&#233; l&#8217;AfD en annon&#231;ant que votre objectif est de construire le mouvement de jeunesse de droite le plus puissant d&#8217;Allemagne. Concr&#232;tement, comment y parvenir ?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maximilian M&#228;rkl : Je pense que le plus grand d&#233;fi est d&#8217;inspirer la jeunesse allemande en lui montrant qu&#8217;il y a quelque chose pour quoi se battre, qu&#8217;elle ne devienne pas d&#233;sesp&#233;r&#233;e parce qu&#8217;elle regarde par sa fen&#234;tre et voit partout des migrants et l&#8217;&#201;tat, et qu&#8217;elle prend peur. Et je pense qu&#8217;il y a besoin d&#8217;un mouvement dans la rue, un mouvement pour la jeunesse aussi, en dehors du parti. J&#8217;ai un immense respect pour Generation Deutschland.

Wie wollen Sie das konkret erreichen?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maximilian M&#228;rkl : Ich glaube, die gr&#246;&#223;te Herausforderung ist es, die deutsche Jugend zu inspirieren, dass es etwas zu k&#228;mpfen gibt, dass sie nicht verzweifelt, weil sie aus ihrem Fenster schaut und &#252;berall Migranten und den Staat sieht und Angst bekommt. Und ich glaube, es braucht eine Bewegung auf der Stra&#223;e, eine Bewegung f&#252;r die Jugend auch, neben der Partei. Ich habe enormen Respekt vor Generation Deutschland. Ich glaube, sie leisten wichtige Arbeit, aber es muss eine Jugendbewegung auf der Stra&#223;e geben. </p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/filmkvnst&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Video by Filmkunstkollektiv&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://x.com/filmkvnst"><span>Video by Filmkunstkollektiv</span></a></p><div class="pullquote"><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Voxeuropa Herald is an initiative that shares the voices shaping Europe today: elected officials, essayists, philosophers, activists, artists and influencers.

In your Voxeuropa interview that you did with us before, you called Mullin a good plumber, but you said that they don&#8217;t have what it takes to fix America. Why is that? And what does that cost America?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Gregory Bovino:</strong> Sure, well, Maddie. When I&#8217;m speaking from the position of a border security professional &#8212; and I&#8217;ve done this for 30 years &#8212; and to see, to see us retract back from success, and have to relearn lessons... And I&#8217;m talking New York, uh, New York, New Jersey just a couple of days ago. Why are we relearning that lesson? We should already have that lesson under our belt. On how to deal with something like that. So they&#8217;re good people, no doubt about it. But do they have that requisite knowledge, skills and experience and ability to lead in a situation like that, when you put your, your ICE officers out there for 5 days, with that kind of violence, and seemingly no leadership on the ground or support? It&#8217;s gonna bring questions. It brings questions in the minds of Americans, the taxpayer, it brings, puts questions in my mind also &#8212; especially since I did that for 30 years &#8212; and realized that situations like that have a very, very easy fix. </p><div><hr></div><p>&#127465;&#127466; DEUTSCH</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Maddie:</strong> Tom Homan und Mullin sind in den USA derzeit Namen, die jeder kennt. In Ihrem fr&#252;heren Interview f&#252;r Voxeuropa haben Sie Mullin als guten Klempner bezeichnet, aber gesagt, dass sie nicht das haben, was n&#246;tig ist, um Amerika zu reparieren. Warum? Und was kostet das Amerika?</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Gregory Bovino:</strong> Gut, also, Maddie. Wenn ich aus der Position eines Fachmanns f&#252;r Grenzsicherheit spreche &#8212; und ich habe das 30 Jahre lang gemacht &#8212; und ich sehe, sehe, wie wir hinter unsere Erfolge zur&#252;ckfallen und Lektionen neu lernen m&#252;ssen... Und ich spreche von New York, &#228;h, New York, New Jersey, vor ein paar Tagen erst. Warum lernen wir diese Lektion neu? Wir h&#228;tten sie l&#228;ngst verinnerlicht haben sollen. Wir h&#228;tten bereits wissen sollen, wie man mit so etwas umgeht. Also sind sie gute Menschen, daran besteht kein Zweifel. Aber haben sie das erforderliche Wissen, die F&#228;higkeiten, die Erfahrung und die F&#252;hrungskompetenz f&#252;r eine Situation wie diese &#8212; wenn man seine, seine ICE-Beamten f&#252;nf Tage lang dort drau&#223;en einsetzt, bei dieser Art von Gewalt, und scheinbar ohne F&#252;hrung vor Ort oder Unterst&#252;tzung? Das wird Fragen aufwerfen. Es wirft Fragen in den K&#246;pfen der Amerikaner auf, der Steuerzahler, es wirft auch Fragen in meinem Kopf auf &#8212; zumal ich das 30 Jahre lang gemacht habe &#8212; und ich habe erkannt, dass Situationen wie diese eine sehr, sehr einfache L&#246;sung haben.</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://x.com/filmkvnst&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Video by Filmkunstkollektiv&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://x.com/filmkvnst"><span>Video by Filmkunstkollektiv</span></a></p><div class="pullquote"><p style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Voxeuropa Herald is an initiative that shares the voices shaping Europe today: elected officials, essayists, philosophers, activists, artists and influencers.
