Preşedintele ucrainean Volodimir Zelenski anunţă că lucrează împreună cu aliaţii săi europeni la ”poziţii comune” pentru a încerca să-l convingă pe preşedintele american Donald Trump să ţină cont de interesele lor împotriva Rusiei. Aliaţii Kievului au încercat duminică să strângă rândurile dupa temerile ca America nu le mai e un aliat. Invitaţi de premierul britanic Keir Starmer, 15 lideri europeni şi-au afişat angajamentul de a susţine Ucraina şi de a se reînarma împotriva Rusiei.   Una din cele mai mari fraude din mediul universitar a avut loc la Universitatea Alexandru Ioan Cuza din IașiMembru al Comisiei de etică a institutiei de invatamant superior, conferențiarul Dan Lupu și-a crescut reputația academică plantându-și fraudulos lucrările în bibliografiile a circa 200 de articole științifice. Dezvaluirea a fost făcută de Emilia Șercan într-o anchetă publicată în Pressone. Intre timp, Dan Lupu a demisionat din comisia de etica iar rectorul Universitatii spune că s-a activat un mecanism de monitorizare a publicatiilor asociate institutiei. În Austria, noua coaliţie guvernamentală tripartită a depus astăzi jurământulProgramul guvernamental prevede între altele, sprijinirea Republicii Moldova şi Georgiei în procesul de integrare europeana.

*) Gaza truce talks resume as Israel kills 30 in fresh strikes Talks for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release are back on, Israel confirmed, with Qatar mediating the high-stakes negotiations. Meanwhile, Gaza's civil defence reports over thirty killed in fresh air strikes, including 11 members of the al Ghoula family—seven of them children. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued "detailed instructions" for the ongoing efforts, according to Israeli officials. *) UN condemn Israel over violations of peace agreements The UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon-UNIFIL has condemned Israel for destroying a Lebanese army observation tower and a Blue Line marker. Calling it a "flagrant violation" of UN Resolution 1701, UNIFIL urged restraint to preserve peace. Since October, Israel's military actions have resulted in over 4,000 Lebanese deaths, with 16,600 wounded. With 383 ceasefire violations reported, tensions remain high as calls grow for adherence to international agreements. *) Suspect in Germany market attack was involved in seven prior cases: report A suspect in the Magdeburg Christmas market attack, Taleb-Al-Abdulmohsen, had prior run-ins with German authorities, media reveal. Linked to seven investigations since 2023, the 50-year-old Saudi-born psychiatrist allegedly issued threats online and targeted a lawyer and staff. Despite a risk assessment, no alert reached his employer. The December 20 attack left five dead and over 200 injured. Detained days later, Abdulmohsen, described as anti-Muslim and far-right-leaning, remains under arrest. *) Serbia records hottest year on record Serbia experienced its hottest year on record in 2024, with average temperatures exceeding previous records by a significant margin. The country faced a series of heatwaves throughout the summer, contributing to a sharp rise in temperatures. The extreme heat aligns with global trends, as 2024 is set to be the warmest year on record globally, according to the United Nations. Climate scientists attribute this unprecedented heat to human-induced global warming, which has fueled a rise in extreme weather events worldwide. *) Austria's chancellor steps down after failed coalition negotiations Austria faces a political shakeup as Chancellor Karl Nehammer announces his resignation after coalition talks with the Social Democrats collapsed. Nehammer cited irreconcilable differences in a video message and pledged an "orderly transition." It follows a failed attempt to form a centrist government excluding the far-right Freedom Party or FPO which won 28.8 percent of the vote. Critics warn of potential risks to democracy if the FPO joins forces with Nehammer's conservative People's Party.

This week we talk about the AfD, the Freedom Party, and the Identitarian Movement.We also discuss Martin Sellner, Herbert Kickl, and racialism.Recommended Book: The Ministry of Time by Kaliane BradleyTranscriptRacialism, sometimes called scientific racism, is the pseudoscientific belief that groups of human beings are inherently, biologically different from each other based on different evolutionary paths that have carved up the species into different races that are distinct enough from each other to make interbreeding undesirable, and cultural exchange a dangerous hazard.Said another way, racialism posits, using all sorts of outdated and misinterpreted scientific understandings—like determining intelligence based on the shape of a person's skull—that black people and white Europeans and folks from Asia are different enough (which is an idea also called polygenesis) that they should stay in their own parts of the world, and that by separating everyone out according to presumed racial background, we would all be able to do as we like, based on our own alleged cultural guide rails, and in accordance with our own, alleged biological destinies; which in some cases would mean invading and killing and maybe enslaving the other, inferior, in our minds at least, races, but in the polite, political telling, usually means something like putting up walls to keep out the racially inferior riffraff, so they don't pollute our good and pure and obvious superior bloodlines.Important to note is that different people with genetic lineages in different parts of the world do tend to have distinct collections of biological traits, ranging from skin tone to height to propensities to, or defenses against various sorts of disease.There's actual no clean line between groups of people the way this theory says, though: race, the way the word is used today, references a collection of qualities that tend to be found within different groups of people, but every person is a unique collection of genetic mutations and variations, and the old-school concept of biological race has not held up to modern scientific scrutiny—it's mostly a cultural concept at this point, and even then it's a fairly fuzzy one.That said, a lot of very smart people used to believe in the racialism concept back in the Enlightment era, from around the mid-1600s to the late-1700s, as science back then was helping us delineate between all sorts of species, and giving us a hint of the more complete evolutionary understandings that would arrive the following century; but as with many fields of inquiry, this initial glimpse granted us as much new confusion, masquerading as insight, as it did actual, novel understandings.Today, this concept is almost exclusively cleaved to by folks belonging to various racial supremacist groups, including but not limited to those who are part of the so-called Identitarian Movement, which is a far-right, European nationalist ideology that spans many countries and political organizations, and which aims, among other things, to significantly truncate or end globalization, to do away with multiculturalism in all its forms, to combat what this group sees as the spread and influence of Islam across Europe, and to significantly limit or even completely end immigration of people from outside Europe into European nations.Folks and parties that subscribe to this ideology are often considered to be ultra-conservative, but also xenophobic and racist—racism being distinct from racialism, as racialism posits there are different, hard-coded biological racial realities that cleanly delineate one group of humans from another, while racism tends to be the belief that one group of people is superior to another, with folks who are racist at times acting on that belief in various ways.The Identitarian Movement is officially categorized as a right-ring extremist group by the German intelligence agency, and the Southern Poverty Law Center considers a slew of groups that align with this movement to be hate groups.Though based on the writings and principles of earlier thinkers and politicians, this group is actually fairly modern, only coming into being in its current form in the early 2000s—though the collection of ideas and efforts that informed this movement arose in France in the 1960s as part of a neo-fascist effort to inject out-of-vogue, extremist ideas into respectable, post-WWII political debate.This was essentially an effort to rebrand Nazi ideology so as to make it seem smart and with-it in the still-stunned, but rebuilding European idea marketplace, and its primary innovation was taking some of those fascist concepts and hiding them under the more palatable label of nationalism—which was experiencing a resurgence following the wave of multiculturalism that began to flourish after the war, though not without imperfections and conflict.One of the most popular elements of this ideology, though, was introduced a fair bit later, in the early 2000s and 2010s.Remigration refers to the idea that liberals, people on the left of the political spectrum, want to replace good, hard-working, morally correct, white French people—and later this idea was expanded to encompass all white Europeans—with folks from other countries, especially Muslim-majority countries, but also other places where folks don't tend to be white.These lefties are keen to do this for a variety of reasons, apparently, but one of the most popular claims is that they want to give handouts to these new arrivals, and thus get their votes, capturing the government forever by slowly reducing the overall population of the good, wholesome white locals, in order to out-populate them with new arrivals, whose votes will forever be captured by the politicians who gave them all these handouts.Sometimes called The Great Replacement Theory, this idea serves as justification for the aforementioned, increasingly popular concept of remigration, which basically means rounding up everyone who's living in Europe, but not originally from Europe, and shipping them elsewhere—even if they are citizens, and even if they aren't citizens of the countries they're being shipped to.Some versions of this idea also say that the descendants of immigrants, folks who were born in their European homes, not elsewhere, should nonetheless be shipped back to where their grandparents came from, due to a lack of sufficient assimilation—which means taking up the culture of the place you've moved to, but in this case usually serves as a stand in for “has a different faith, likes different food, adheres to different norms,” and other multiculturalism-linked, distinctions.This rounding up and shipping would be based on the person's supposed racial identity, not on their national identity—so in a way, this concept is a means of smuggling racialism into politics, by making it seems as if the modern way of organizing the world and its people—that of nation states, and those nation states granting an identity, a national origin—is not inherent or ideal, and that we should instead force people to stay where we believe other people like them, according to our beliefs about such things, originally came from, and thus, belong.That underlying concept isn't one that's taken seriously by most scientists, philosophers, demographers, or anyone else who's profession is linked to this collection of ideas, but it's proven to be a useful narrative and justification for folks who feel as if they're becoming strangers in what they consider to be their homeland, their culture, their city, and so on. And that's made it a useful point of leverage for traditionalist and conservative political parties across Europe; and increasingly, in recent years especially, elsewhere around the world, as well.What I'd like to talk about today is a party in Austria that has leaned heavily into this collection of ideas, and which claimed the most votes in the country's recent election, as a consequence.—The Freedom Party, or FPO, is an Austrian political party that's a founding member of the European-scale Identity and Democracy Party, which recently merged with other, fellow traveler parties from the Czech Republic and Hungary, to become the Patriots for Europe group; though all of these entities share roughly the same ideological platforms and practical, political ambitions.And among those ambitions is the desire to tackle the issue of immigration across the EU, reducing especially the number of people coming into the bloc from Muslim-majority nations, which large numbers of people in many European countries have complained about, usually because they feel the cultures of their hometowns and home countries are changing rapidly, and they consequently feel like they're being elbowed out and replaced by these newcomers.This is not a new complaint, and this isn't only a European thing; across history, even very modern history, when a wave of immigrants arrive in a new home, that can make the people who were there before them feel like they're under assault—and if those new arrivals have a different religion than the majority of the people in the place they've immigrated to, that can increase the perceived differences and threats, as can a difference in skin color, the clothing they wear, cultural customs, foods, fragrances, language, and just about anything else.This angle of politicking has become increasingly popular with mostly but not exclusively conservative parties around the world in recent years, though, as some of those parties have gotten pretty good at spreading this message to disaffected people, including disaffected youths, in some of the most immigrated-to places in the world.So young men in the United States have, according to recent polls, been hearing a lot about this and seem to be open to the idea that some of the, on average, at least, issues they seem to be facing in terms of educational attainment and employment options, among other things, are the fault of those new arrivals, and that's possibly a component of the gender-skewed shift we're seeing in the lead-up to November's election, with young people in general leaning liberal, but more young men leaning conservative than young women.That's almost certainly not the only issue at play here, of course, but it's something conservative politicians in the US seem to be leveraging, even to the point that former president and current Republican candidate Donald Trump recently mentioned the term “remigration” in a social media post: something that's being seen by political analysts as a trial balloon to see if the concept might be picked up by folks in his political orbit, and might in turn garner him more support amongst people who feel like too many immigrants are entering the US, and that all that immigration is bad for one of several possible, and well-promoted, reasons; maybe, this trial balloon implies, we should just ship them all back from where they came from, and that may then free up housing and jobs and maybe set things back to normal, how things used to be.It's worth noting that the word remigration was initially used to refer to the return of European Jews to their homes after WWII, but it was adopted by French white nationalists in the mid-2010s to allude to deporting immigrants and the children of immigrants, en masse.The term became more widely known after an investigation found that, in late-2023, members of the Alternative for Germany, or AfD party had a secret meeting with neo-nazis, at which there was a presentation by a thirty-something far-right Austrian political activist named Martin Sellner, who among other things is the leader of the Identitarian movement I mentioned in the intro, and in that talk he supported the idea of a program that would involve identifying and removing minorities of various kinds from Germany by force—remigration, basically, a topic he's also written a book about.Sellner later said that his words were twisted by the media and that remigration is really just a collection of policies that would slow or stop some types of immigration in the future, but he was banned from Germany because of that talk, until a German court revoked that ban last May, and he was denied entry into the UK in 2018, and into the US in 2019 because of a large donation he received from the mass-shooter who attacked two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019, killing 51 people and injuring 89.Sellner himself has said that until 2011 he was a neo-nazi, and his wife, an American pro-Trump online influencer—who was a big proponent of the so-called Pizzagate conspiracy theory among other notable, and demonstrably untrue narratives that became popular in the lead up to previous elections—she spreads a lot of the same content, but with a US bent, rather than a European one.Both Sellners, and other members of the Identitarian movement, have been accused of parroting Nazi talking points, promoting things like Holocaust denial, and calling for minorities to be mass-executed, but they generally contend that they're simply proud nationalists who love their countries and don't want to see them changed or ruined by a bunch of people from other places with different ideas, beliefs, and priorities coming in and taking all the jobs, and tweaking everything to suit their wants and needs, against the desires of those who were there first.The concept of remigration has attained popularity at a more rapid rate in some places than others, and it seems to have done especially well in Austria—the country's Freedom Party won 29% of the vote in the country's last election in late-September of this year, and that was the highest tally of all the parties that participated; which is notable in part because of what the Freedom Party believes now, in remigration and adjacent policies, but also because this is a party that was founded in the 1950s by a former SS officer and Nazi politician.It's expected that the Freedom Party won't be able to form a government, because every other party has said they won't form a coalition with them—the currently governing conservative People's Party has said they might be open to it, but not with Herbert Kickl, the group's current leader, involved in the resultant government.Kickl is an ardent ally of Russian president Putin and has been accused of attempting to meld right-wing populism with nazi-valenced, fascist extremism—a common accusation against folks in this corner of the political spectrum, though in some cases an accusation that is also seemingly true.Like Sellner and other folks with this ideological orientation, Kickl promotes the idea of Remigration, which in the context of Austrian politics, in his mind at least, would help reinforce the strength of a Fortress Austria with completely closed borders and which is run by an all-powerful security state apparatus, that is capable of managing those borders, and keeping the peace inside the nation's impermeable walls.Kickl has said, in the wake of the election in which his party was victorious, that Austrian politicians are making a decision, by excluding his party, and him specifically from government, that is a slap in the face to the electorate—though he's continued to make overtures to other conservative parties in the hope that they might be willing to work with the Freedom Party to form a functioning government; this seems unlikely, at this point, though it's not impossible.Even without a functioning coalition, though, Kickl and his party's win at the polls, bringing in the most support of any party, speaks volumes about the popularity of this general collection of concepts and ideas; and the same seems to be true in many other countries where these ideas are being spread: despite a few let-downs for European far-right parties in recent years, this collection of political entities and personalities have done pretty well over the past decade, making substantial gains in France, Germany, and the Netherlands, in particular.That these parties often align themselves with fascist governments and subscribe to easily disproven conspiracy theories doesn't necessarily outweigh their support of increasingly popular anti-immigration policies, it would seem, and that popularity seems to be the result of their success in tying immigration to all manners of social and economic ills.Much of Europe is still experiencing economic downswings, high levels of inflation, and overall underperformance compared to their peers, post-pandemic peak, so this sort of messaging may be decently well-received even by folks who wouldn't typically agree with much of the rest of their platform or narrative, but who are currently looking for anything that defies the current status quo, and anyone who provides something that seems like it might be an explanation for those many and varied downswings and other perceived ills.Show Noteshttps://www.infomigrants.net/en/post/56618/italyalbania-asylumseeker-deal-to-cost-%E2%82%AC653-million-report-findshttps://archive.ph/PFWhkhttps://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/29/world/europe/austria-election-freedom-party-kickl.htmlhttps://www.reuters.com/world/europe/austrian-far-right-head-urges-rivals-let-him-govern-after-election-win-2024-10-05/https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/austria-holds-tight-election-with-far-right-bidding-historic-win-2024-09-28/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigrationhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identitarian_movementhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Replacementhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_New_Righthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_racismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Sellnerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany_Sellnerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Kickl This is a public episode.

*) Israel kills over two dozen Palestinians across Gaza Israel's latest air strikes on Gaza since Sunday morning have killed at least 25 Palestinians and left many others wounded, according to the Civil Defence. The attacks happened in Beit Lahia, Jabalia, Gaza City, Nuseirat camp and Deir al Balah. Israel's war on Gaza has now entered its 360th day, and so far, it's claimed the lives of at least 41,595 Palestinians. On top of that, over 800 people have been killed in Israel's bombings across Lebanon since September 23. *) Israel bombs key ports, power plants in Yemen Israel has also stepped up its strikes in Yemen, targeting Houthi-controlled areas after the Houthi group fired missiles at Israel in the last two days. According to the group's health ministry, four people were killed and 33 others wounded in the attacks. Israel's military said dozens of aircraft, including fighter jets, hit power plants and seaports at Ras Issa and Hudaida on Sunday. *) Red Cross slams ‘those who lead military operations' for ignoring international law The head of the International Committee of the Red Cross has issued a stern warning on how the Geneva Conventions are being blatantly ignored in conflicts around the world. In an interview with Swiss daily Le Temps, Mirjana Spoljaric urged countries to urgently recommit to international law. She said that international humanitarian law is being “systematically trampled” by military leaders and highlighted the unimaginable number of casualties in Gaza, Sudan and Ukraine. *) Austria's far-right secures first win in national election since WWII Far-right parties across Europe are celebrating after Austria's Freedom Party (FPO) won a significant parliamentary election. It's the first far-right national victory in Austria since World War II. The FPO, led by Herbert Kickl, managed to win around 29 percent of the vote by tapping into concerns about the economy and immigration. However, Kickl still needs to find a coalition partner, and other party leaders, who aren't keen on him, are already talking about forming an alternative government to block him. *) Germany to deny citizenship to those using pro-Palestine slogan online Germany is set to deny citizenship to anyone who uses, likes, or comments on the slogan “From the river to the sea” on social media, a phrase tied to support for Palestine, according to local media reports. North German Radio and Television (NDR) said the new rules come from the German Interior Ministry, and they specifically disqualify anyone using this slogan from becoming a citizen. This decision comes after Germany passed its dual citizenship law back in June. The phrase has roots going back to the 1960s, demanding the full liberation of Palestine.

Better Cotton to Advance Gender Equality and Climate Resilience in India with New Impact Fund The fund will help cotton farming communities accelerate field-level sustainability work in the face of climate change, starting with India. Vetted Farmer Producer Organisations[1] (FPOs) across the country will be eligible to gain funding to expand their services and simultaneously build a positive credit history. Smallholders represent more than 90% of the world's cotton farmers. Supporting climate resilience Better Cotton, the world's largest cotton sustainability initiative, and impact investment firm, FS Impact Finance, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop and launch a fund directed at smallholder farmers in the cotton sector. The fund, initially piloted in India, will help incentivise cotton farming communities to invest in field-level work related to women's empowerment and climate resilience[2] by eliminating traditional financing barriers. Smallholders, who make up more than 90% of the world's cotton farmers, often struggle to access adequate financial support due to their Farmer Producer Organisation's (FPO[3]) lack of credit history. In India, with 16,000 FPOs representing over 5.8 million farmers, only a few large and well established FPOs have access to formal financial markets. However, the vast majority lack the turnover and credit history to qualify for finance, which is a prerequisite for growth. Under this new fund, FPOs will be supported in the implementation of gender and climate resilience activities with the goal of fast-tracking field-level results and improving their bankability. This will enable less developed FPOs to improve their credit history and benefit from services that will help them to create strategic and sustainable growth plans for the future. Better Cotton CEO, Alan McClay, commented, "This collaboration with FS Impact Finance has the potential to accelerate important work already underway in India, and it will do so in an inclusive way. Access to finance for smallholders is always a challenge and we are excited at the prospect of helping to change that." FS Impact Finance Managing Director, Martin Cremer, commented, "We look forward to jointly developing this innovative financing solution in the cotton sector that complements Better Cotton's great work in this area. Our goal is to improve the situation of smallholder farmers and contribute to the development and professionalisation of players along the local value chains". 1 Farmer Producer Organisations will be vetted via both financial- and governance-related due diligence processes. 2 Better Cotton's 2030 Strategy includes Impact Targets relating to women's empowerment and climate change mitigation. The organisation has committed to reaching one million women in cotton with programmes and resources that promote equal farm decision-making, build climate resilience, or support improved livelihoods. This is in addition to ensuring 25% of field staff are women with the power to influence sustainable cotton production. On climate change mitigation, Better Cotton has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% per tonne of Better Cotton lint produced by the end of the decade. 3 FPOs advocate for farming communities and negotiate on their behalf in international markets. About Better Cotton Better Cotton is the world's largest cotton sustainability initiative. Our mission: to help cotton communities survive and thrive, while protecting and restoring the environment. In challenging times, we are meeting the challenge head on. In the 2021-22 cotton season, through our network of field-level partners, 22% of global cotton production was Better Cotton, grown in 22 countries around the world. Our programmes reached 2.8 million farmers, which included more than 2.2 million Better Cotton licensed farmers. Over one fifth of the world's cotton is now grown under the Better Cotton Standard. https://bettercotton.org/ A...

Police say they need search powers to crack down on gang associates and their firearms.  New proposed Firearm Prohibition Order laws would ban people committing lower level offences from holding a firearms licence, and allow warrantless police searches of suspects.  The Justice Select Committee's asking the Government to soften some changes, concerned it would give police too much power.  Police Association President Chris Cahill told Mike Hosking it's better than what they had.  He says the law is toothless without any form of search powers.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rob, it's wonderful to have you with us. Thank you for giving us your time today. (Rob Roos MEP) Yeah, it's wonderful to be here and I try to explain the things that are happening in the European Parliament and in the Netherlands. And I'm honoured to have me in the show. Thank you. Great to have an eye of, as have many, I think, English speakers certainly enjoyed your fantastic short videos on a range of issues and it is, I guess, to see a member of the European Parliament speak sense and speak specifically, I just say what they think, love it. But you obviously were a member of the European Parliament for five years. I'm still am. Still am, yeah. Yes, yes, till July 16. Okay, till July 16 and you were vice chairman of the the ECR group, and we'll get into the groupings, the European Conservatives and Reformist Party. But your background, you were in telecoms, and it made me smile because I know I worked with Gerard Batten, who was MEP for UKIP, UKIP leader, and his background was telecoms as well before he got into politics. Maybe I can ask you just how you ended up being involved in politics. It was an accident. It always is. No, I was never a member of a political party. My background is I'm actually an electrical engineer. But I'm an entrepreneur. I have my own businesses. I had an engineering company in energy. That's what I'm doing for 32 years now. But after a while I started to invest in my own fibre optic networks across the country so, I founded my own telecom company. It started with the infrastructure but after a while I also had I had my own ISP and we did everything, but in 2016 I sold my engineering company. And because I wanted to move on with my telecom company, it was a huge success. But then there was a private equity from London who wanted to buy my shares. And so I did the negotiations for two years in 2018. They bought my shares also of that company. I still have one telecom company. I still own a fantastic gym. I'm also a boxing trainer. But then in 2016, we had a new movement in the Netherlands. It was called Forum for Democracy. Thierry Baudet was very good at that time. And, well, I funded his political movement so he can run for our national parliament. But I didn't become a member at the time. But after a while, they called me. Rob, can you please help us? You live close to Rotterdam. Can you do the campaign over there? I was never involved in politics. I was always interested in politics since I was a child. So I said, okay, let's do it. I'm an entrepreneur. Let's roll up the sleeves and just do it. But it was a success. And from one thing came another. And, well, before I knew it, I was in the office in Amsterdam. To them and yeah, building this organization because that is my background I founded nine companies, our board companies, our merged companies, and so I know how to build organizations. Yeah, from there they said well can you record a video about entrepreneurship and it was so difficult because I was never in front of the cameras really it was maybe 50 takes or something like that it was terrible, but okay, I didn't have that experience, but finally this video was successful and then Rob you should also be on the list and I said absolutely not. I want to help but I'm not going to be on this, but in the end to make a long story short, in the end I was on the list and I was elected as a member of of the European Parliament. And, well, yeah, I did it with love and passion, and I loved what I did. I'm not really a politician. I'm a representative of the people. I think that's a big difference. Most people who go into politics have very good intentions, but once chosen, they make a career of it. And, yeah, I didn't do that. I'm really there for the people. It's sometimes tough, you know. They call you names. But I don't care, you know, it's the right for people to call me names. That's freedom of speech. I don't block anyone on social media. But yeah, I did it with love and passion. And to be honest, I think I'm going to miss it. But there will probably be something else in the future. I keep on fighting for my country, absolutely. And also for Europe. Well I want to get on to what kind of your passions and what you wanted to to bring to that role but let me for our UK and half of our viewers are American and I don't know if we'll be able to explain all of the intricacies and little details in in the politics but obviously I watched Thierry Baudet start his movement and you've got all different letters in Dutch politics. So, that's the Forum for Democratie, the FVD. And then there was, I think, a disagreement. So things were said, as happens, and then you had broken away with some others and started a new group, the J21. And then you had represented that and then as an independent. And I guess there are always difficulties with a new movement or a new group or new party that starts, because it doesn't have the history of what it actually believes and it's evolving and that can lead to clashes I guess. Yeah, that's true you know, but it's always in politics. I was in Bangkok two weeks ago. I was speaking there about food security. I spoke with the the audience that were all kinds of ministers and and members of parliament of all kinds of Asian countries from Kazakhstan to South Korea, Japan, China, everywhere. And it's everywhere the same. You know, politics is just a dirty game. But the point is for new political parties, if someone is, let's say, difficult to handle, there is no job somewhere else. The establishment, if someone is not very favourable anymore in the party, they give them a decent job as a mayor or something else. And this is not possible with a new political party. So, yeah, that is the problem. But there are more problems. Politics also attracts strange people. I agree. It's incredible. And I'm just a simple human being. The only thing that counts for me, I want results. I'm a businessman. man you know and I my my job is to solve problems and to to go straight to the result and I don't want to play all these games, and I don't do it, so it's, I stay, I stick to my principles and then that's why I fight for and if people said you should not speak about this, you shouldn't speak about that, and I said sorry I'm here to represent the people that's why they have chosen me and I will fight for them. For me the party, a political party is just a tool. It cannot be the goal and that is often the thing that they make the political party more important than our country and the people and yeah for me the people and the country is that that's the most important thing that's the highest goal there is. Tell us about you as an MEP you as vice chair of the ECR one of the kind of three groupings on the right and people obviously will know Georgia Maloney her party part of that I think the Law and Justice Party and also I think the Czech Civic Democratic Party are part of that. Tell us what that was, because obviously you were there for five years. So you don't have a track record of being in the European Parliament. That's not your life. Your life, as you say, is service and serving the people. Vice-Chairman of the ECR, that is a key position. How did that come about? And how did you find your time, I guess, working with the groupings in the European Parliament? Oh, I love that. I love to do that. I can be tough on subjects, but I think I'm a very reasonable person and I can bring people together. Even I cooperate a lot of times with, for example, the Greens. I disagree. On 100% on their climate policy, but I was a member of the industry and energy committee and we were responsible, for example, for the digital identity, etc. And in the greens you have these pirates, you know, they are very hard on privacy. So, I made my coalitions with them to create a majority on things. So, there was also a very left liberal lady in the Renew, and she said, Rob, you are such a nice person, but you have such strange people around you. And then I said, you have exactly the same. So you can disagree on subjects, but you can respect each other as human beings. And this is how I work. And that is also that I did it in the ECR. I think, yeah, it's so strange because in my political party, they said, they told me, you should not speak about this and you should not speak about that. And they really disagree with me on the things. And they made my life very tough to survive in that party. But the strange thing is that I can go along with all the people in the group. Even we have, of course, you have a bandwidth and you have the people. We are the conservative, but you have people who are on the left side of this conservative movement and also the hardliners. But I can get along with them very well. And I try to bring people together, because in the end, we have to do it together. Together, you are strong. And of course, you can disagree with each other, but you have to find a compromise on things so that you can show your strength. And being united is very important to achieve the goals. I was in Bucharest, I think it's now four or five weeks ago, I was the keynote speaker there at Make Europe Great Again. Oh, yes. And that was exactly the speech that I gave. We have the elections coming up and we should be united on the right. And I hope there are now negotiations going on to create this. Conservative supergroup. They try it every time we have new elections. But this time I really hope it will work because. We are bigger, if we are united, we are bigger than the socialists in the European Parliament. And then we are the second largest group right after the European People's Party. And then we are strong. We have the best positions. You have the best, yeah, as a rapporteur, you can change things. You have the chairman of all the committees, et cetera. And so, yeah, I think we should respect each other as a human being and be tough on the subject, but we should find compromises and work together. The elections have thrown up some interesting and exciting results. Obviously, Marine Le Pen doing well. I remember meeting Marine 12 years ago in London, the only time I've met her. But Gerrit Fielder is obviously doing very well in Holland, and I've met him a number of times. And you've got two high-profile individuals that really make the left extremely angry. And to me, that's kind of the part that I like, but also you need to come together. But then you've got all these, obviously, where Giorgio Maloney fits in. And then you've got all the conversation about the AFD and the FPO. And it's an interesting mix. And you said politics brings together estranged people. It also brings together people who are extremely ambitious. And sometimes that doesn't work with groupings. But what are your thoughts looking across the landscape at what this election has produced? And how do you see it moving forward with some of those conversations? If we look at the numbers, then EPP is still the biggest group in the European Parliament. But let's say the conservatives, if you count the numbers, then we almost have the same numbers. If I count the numbers, EPP can be around 190. But also the conservatives, the right-wing conservatives, they have also 190 seats if we can merge. And Renew lost a lot, especially in France. It's a chaos over there. But also the Greens in Germany, the Socialists in Germany, they did a terrible job. It was the worst elections for them ever on the European Parliament level. So, this is a very strong signal from the people in Europe that they are fed up with all this climate communist nonsense. All this gender nonsense, because this is what it is. It was so horrible the last five years. Every legislation that we passed was full of gender ideology, climate ideology, and it was absurd, you know. I was in energy for 32 years. I really know what energy is about and how to do it. You cannot do this energy transition with wind turbines and solar panels. So, there is an alternative, and that is nuclear energy. And I was advocating for that for a very long time. I'm not against phasing out Fossil. Partly, you cannot do it completely, but partly you can phase out fossil fuel. But then you need something stable. And nuclear energy is such a wonderful form of energy. It's really a gift from the stars. If you have this uranium, but also the new... New reactors. New reactors, the fourth generation reactors with thorium and other things. There is so much energy in this tiny particle form. And this is really a solution. But this is the problem. They don't want that. So, to come back to the question, the Greens they lost, the Liberals they lost. And, well, it's time to have a real democracy. These people are upset. It was also in the Netherlands, exactly the same when Wilders won the election. These people are upset, but it's their democracy, it's not the democracy, it's their democracy. They have a view of how the world should look like, and this is how everyone should behave. But if it's real democracy, they should start listening to the people. The people gave a very clear signal. We don't want this anymore. We want change. We want a normal life. Of course, we want to take care of the planet, but we don't want to have this absurd laws where we are losing our freedom, where we are paying so much for just normal energy while it's not necessary. Our food security is in danger because of the policy on the farmers. And people start seeing it. And now they want to go back to normal. Well, of course, the farm demonstration, they started in your part of the world, in the Netherlands, and then really, really spread out. But this idea of wanting your own industries, not necessarily relying on the global, of not wanting to, not seeing renewables as the full-on solution may be a part of it, but it can't be. This is where we put everything into. And the gender ideology debate, the mass immigration that Europe has faced. I mean, but which one has it just been those coming together to give the push to to Gerd Willers, to Marine Le Pen, to Maloney, the Swedish Democrats, the FPO coming top and then even the Vox and Chega doing well in Portugal and Spain. I mean, it's across the board where all these parties have come first or second or one or two end up third. But it does seem a change of the guard. I'm wondering which issue is it that actually is concerning Europeans the most? I think it's immigration. You know, we are flooded with people from the Middle East and Africa. And even in my small village here, very close to Rotterdam, it's changing. Our children don't have houses anymore the culture is changing. Well I've seen the videos from London this is not Europe anymore and if these people want the Sharia, if they like to live by the Sharia there are lots of places in the world where you can do that. We should not allow that they are changing our society. I didn't ask for it. Most of the people didn't ask for it. So why is this happening? You know, it's not the will of the people. So, I think immigration is something that is the most important issue at the moment. But the rest, the Green Deal, all this climate policy, the gender policy, changing our identities, taking away our freedom, Yeah, I think we are heading, when I was in Warsaw, I said we are heading to a new kind of communism. And I really think that is the case. You know, if you look at communism, it's all central plant economy. Now, that is exactly what the Green Deal is. As an entrepreneur, I want to make my own decisions. And if we have new legislation and say, OK, we have to improve the environment, etc. Etc. Okay, make your goals. And let me, let the market find out what the best solution is. But they are not only telling you what to do, they are also telling you how to do it. Like the civil servants in Brussels, sitting on the chair of the entrepreneurs and of the chair of the businesses, if they really think they can do a better job, it's so stupid, you know, that's not the case. So, immigration is the most important thing. We feel that everywhere. We see the bomb attacks, we see the violence. You should not speak about it, then you are a racist, of course, they call your names again, but also the women in our cities are not safe anymore. It's just happening. It started, this started in Sweden, but now we have the same problem here in Rotterdam. And that doesn't mean that all the people who coming in are are evil, but it is changing our society and if you have too much of it and you cannot integrate in the society there are people here that live really 30 years in the Netherlands and they don't speak our language that is absurd, you know, that you then you are not a part of the society. I don't believe in a multicultural cultural society, we should have a monocultural society with maybe multicultural people from other countries but multicultural society really means a parallel society you have so but yeah, I think this is this is something that we have to solve and I think the key is now, With Giorgio Maloney. Fratelli d'Italia. I really understand their position. They are my colleagues. They are very good colleagues. I love them very much. But Italy has problems, you know, with their debt. So, they depend on what is happening in the financial market. The financial market can break or they can break the government within months, I think. But also the Commission, because they have this money where they can bribe the member states. They did it with Poland, they do it with Hungary, but they can also bribe Italy, because Italy, I think they still have to receive 85 billion Euros from this next generation EU. EU, so that is serious money. But it should not be the case that the government of Italy, of Giorgio Meloni, that they can hostage our whole group. We in Europe, we have to move on. So, I understand their position, but still I hope there will be a solution also for this big group, including... Fratelli d'Italia. I really hope that. We're talking about Giorgio Maloni and you've seen, I guess, Orban with Fidets in Hungary and the Law and Justice Party in Poland really taking a very hard line against the EU and you posted, I think, on Twitter a day ago or so, Hungary getting fined every day. Giorgio Maloney has taken a softer approach. I think people have seen that as weakness but maybe she just realizes this is a game you need to play and you don't win everything on day one is that a fair assessment because, I would be talking to some people about my frustration with Giorgio Meloni not going all the way and they said patience this this takes time. Is that a kind of a fair assessment that she knows how the game has to be played and to get to your goal It takes a number of steps. Yes, absolutely. If you are in government, you have to take responsibility. You have to make compromises. As long as you have no 51% of the seats, then you have to make compromises. But also, she has to deal with the European Commission. She has to deal with the financial markets. So that is the case. And even we have these elections in France at the end of the month. And I really hope there will be, let's say, a common sense politics, because that is what it is, with conservatives, political parties. But even then, they will lower down the vote. It's always easier to be in the opposition and to raise your voice. But if you have the responsibility and you have to solve the problems, yeah, you have to deal with many problems at the same time. And of course, you have to make compromises, but it is possible. Yeah, but I hope it's not too much and that there will be a solution to create this supergroup. It is really necessary to change things. I'm so happy that we have more and more prime ministers with a conservative background in the European Council, because that's probably the most important thing. To have this blocking minority over there, maybe even if we look further in time, there will be a majority and we can really change things. But I hope Maloney and Orban and Le Pen, they can find a solution because they are the most important, yeah, these are the biggest countries, you know, Italy, France, and Hungary. So, you know, well, I think Orban is at this moment the only Western prime minister with a long-term strategy of the West. No matter what people are saying of him, I agree on a lot of things with him. And I hope he can achieve this super group. Because Orban's sitting, I think, as an independent with Fidets at the moment in the European Parliament. So to me, if he moved one way, if he said, no, I'm going to join Giorgio Maloney and encourage Marine to do the same, him or I'm going to join ID and encourage or if there's coming together he seems to be the figure that is so well respected and because he has led Hungary forever it seems like for me but you've kind of got individuals like that and is he kind of the the kingmaker the one that can bring them together or does it depend on Marine whether she wins the French elections end of this month. And is there enough commonality, because obviously the issue with Russian Ukraine is a split with some people there, but there does seem to be enough commonality between everything else that is happening to actually come together. Yeah, I think if you read the media let's say the mainstream media they blame Orban like Kiefer Hofstad is every day doing of supporting Russia, but that's absolutely not the case. Orban, he wants peace, and I also agree with him on that, because Ukraine cannot win this war. It's just as simple as that. If you look at the numbers, Russia has all the resources to go on with this war, and they have also much more people than Ukraine. That's just facts. Should we reward Russia for the invasion in a sovereign country? Of course not. There are ways to punish him. And I think that's right. So, I'm not saying that we should reward Putin. Absolutely not. It's disgustful what happened. But we have to find a solution. You know, we cannot escalating more and more and more weapons fighting yet. OK, you can use them across the border. It's going on and on and on. And last week I spoke someone from NATO. Then I stay a little bit at this one and I come back to your question. I spoke someone from NATO and they are also becoming very nervous of some politicians who are, for example, Macron. Let me put it this way. Macron, of course, he knows he is, before the election, he knew he was very unpopular. And then he tried to make himself bigger as he was at that moment by saying all these crazy things about the war. We should bring boots on the ground over there. Really incredible, you know. This guy is, he has no roots, you know. He has no children. And then I think my son is 22. He is not going to fight, because Macron wants to set himself in a position as a big leader. Let Macron put on his own boots and go there and fight. Pick up a gun and do your job, you know. But this is, we should, well, this is Ukraine and people are divided. But I think Orban is right. The rest is, of course, supporting Ukraine. I'm also supporting Ukraine. Let there be no misunderstandings about that. But I think also the people in Ukraine want peace. You're never going to get back to Donbass. You're never going to get back to the Crimea. That is now what it is. And I hope that the rest of Ukraine can be part of NATO and that we put sanctions on Russia as long as these parts of the Ukraine is in Russian hands. But let's let's work on peace let's get people to the negotiation table because a war never ended on the battlefield it always ended on the negotiation table and I think the other conservatives also in it like this and they support Ukraine, but I think there can be a solution for that. I think the kingmaker, that's your question, is Orbán the kingmaker. I think Giorgia Maloni is the kingmaker in this. It's her decision and I really know that she has a difficult position because of the financial problems and the market with Italy, but she She has to make the decision. I think the rest will this. Orban, Le Pen, Moranjewski, Kaczynski. They are really ready to create a supergroup. Because it's, I mean, Europe seems to be marching towards greater and greater confrontation with Russia. And I think part of that's Boris Johnson's fault, because he was involved in rejecting the original peace deal. But Europe seemed to have no money left, and yet they're sending it all to Ukraine. And then the talk about conscription, which you mentioned. In Britain, we're talking about conscription. In Britain, it's rumoured that we will be at war with Russia by the end of the year, and that's why the election was called, and Macron calling for conscription. And it is a very frightening situation for Europe. Whenever the battle is not ours, it is to other countries that are neighboring countries. But Europe and partly the US, actually Biden pushing us, we seem to be being sucked further and further into this, which could be a war. Is these elections, are they enough to kind of break away and change that conversation? Because the outcome could be extremely destructive for Europe, for all of us. Yes, I think this is also what the leaders of this country should realize now, that we should unite. We have the problems we discussed already with the migration, with the Green Deal, with the gender policy, etc. But the war in Ukraine is also a big issue. And that's why I hope President Trump will win the election. I think he will choose a different approach than Biden. Of course, we should help Ukraine, but we should not make the weapon industry that should not. Booming weapon industry should not be the goal. And I think this is what's going on right now. It's all about money. And there are people making a lot of money. No, yeah, it can make a difference. And even if we have this big group, and it's so strange, the left, and they were always the one who wanted peace, you know, the symbol, and they wanted to make peace, not war, make love, not war. And now those are the ones who are the warmongers. And the world has changed so much. I really, I really, that's maybe also they try to, yeah, how do I say that? No, let's hope Trump will win the election. I think they make people very afraid of Trump winning the election because they tell the people he's crazy. He is maybe a little bit rude in his conversation, but I think he's done a wonderful job in the time he was the president. He was the only one who didn't start a war. I even recommended him for the Nobel Peace Prize in the European Parliament. Of course, it was rejected. I made a resolution to give him, because of this Abraham Accords. It was a wonderful job and what did the media said? Oh, this is a very bad thing for the Palestinians. No, it was peace. It was peace. It was very good. But yeah, let's hope that How does that, because I've had the privilege of seeing him speak it at three different rallies actually over in the states and there's nothing like a trump rally and for my all my years in UKIP. I've never seen anything like that, but how does it change because in most of your time in the European parliament it's been Biden in charge and with the rise of common sense parties more in the right it could be a different relationship with Europe and Trump. I'm wondering how you see that because you want bloc countries to actually have commonality and work together and not have disagreements. And the Trump derangement syndrome, the hatred of Trump, we've seen in many European governments. That could change now with these elections. How do you see that kind of, is there a better relationship that can be had with the Trump administration and with European Union groupings more on the right? Yeah, I think that relation is very good. Of course, Trump is always saying America first, and that is his job. You know, if he is the president of that country, he should put his country on the first place. That is also what every leader of a country should do. But for example, Orban and Trump, they can work very close. Trump Jr. was yesterday in Hungary also. But Trump was also speaking on the rally of Fratelli d'Italia. So, this relationship is also good. I think, let's say the Republicans and the conservatives here in Europe, they have a very good relation. I have very good relations also in the United States, we can get along very well and it should be something that it is a global fight. You know, this this this globalism is a left wing socialist agenda and we should fight it together. Not we see the problems everywhere in the UK, in Australia, New Zealand. South America and Europe, Canada. We have all this woke ism and there's more warmongers. And so we should unite and and also fight back together and I think this is something, that is happened that happened in the last uh years with for example CPAC and it started in the United States we have CPAC Hungary, we have CPAC in Mexico, in Brazil, in Israel, so yeah. We have a movement and we know how to find each other. And if Trump will be elected, I think there will be a very good relationship with Europe and the United States. Can I just end with you personally, because you will not be an MP soon, but you've used your position as a member of the European Parliament to speak truth and connect with the public. And you touched on energy as being something that you were intrigued about. And I always was confused why Germany would rely through the Nord Stream pipeline on one country. It doesn't matter who the country is to rely on one country. But what are the other issues that you've tried to champion? We've touched a number of them, but your kind of areas of passion and what issues did you want to bring during your five years in the European Parliament? Well, I think most of all is defending free speech. I think this is the most important thing and it's also, I was, I did the negotiations on the digital services act to. To bring some common sense over there also the digital services act is something to control, the the big big tech companies but but actually now the European commission has so much power, because they can fight disinformation and misinformation and then I try to have a definition of that. I try to also have a definition of hate speech and harmful speech. But of course, they didn't make it because you cannot, it's impossible to say this is harmful speech, so this is disinformation. These people who are advocating for this, they say to us that men can have babies and for me that is disinformation, for them, it's the truth. So it's a very dangerous development. We've seen the law in Scotland when you cannot discuss anymore the gender thing about the difference between men and women it's a hate crime. In Canada, we have the same and Europe, the European Union is moving in that same direction. Von der Leyen, two weeks ago, said we have to not debunk misinformation, we have to pre-bank this information. This is really the synonym of censorship and that is what's going on. So free Free speech is also a main topic for me. I think it's the cornerstone of having a healthy democracy, that we can disagree with each other in a decent way. And, yeah, of course, people have different opinions, but that is what politics is about. And this is also the beautiful thing that we have, and it's very precious. It's not in most parts of the world. We don't have this luxury to speak out. But they are taking it away, and that's why I called it also a new kind of communism. Because... Yeah, if you cannot speak out anymore, then we have a real problem. We have seen that during COVID, it was real censorship. It was a horrible time. People were locked up. If you disagreed, then you... So this should never happen again. Digital identity is also a very difficult thing for me. I did the negotiations on that too. I was able to delay that for two years, but finally it was adopted. It's not as bad as it was at the beginning, but still it is there. Central bank, digital currency, all kinds of tools to control people. You know, no one asked for this. No one. It's a top-down approach and it has nothing to do with democracy. There is no problem. Everyone can pay with their debit card or their credit card. It's not an added value. It's a dangerous development because you can control people. These are also very important topics to me. Freedom, freedom of speech, having reliable and affordable energy. Our food security, and, of course, stopping this illegal immigration and the sovereignty of our nations. This is very important. And just to end off, the future for you, when you finish as an MEP, I hope you're not going to disappear and become quiet. What does the future hold for you? I have no idea. Not yet. Not yet. But, you know, when I was an entrepreneur, I started to sell my first cluster of companies in 2016, and I sold a cluster of companies in 2018. It sounds strange, but I really had the idea. I've played that game. I've seen it all and I've done it all. That game is over. I thought I have enough money. That's also very strange if I see Bezos, you know, buying another super yacht. Does that make you happy? I don't think so. I have enough money, so I don't need to do, I don't need to work anymore, so I can use my time to, service my country, to fight for the future of my children, and they're the generation. So, this is what I wanted to do, but I don't have any idea what I'm going to do. But I keep on fighting. My wife, she hates politics. So, I have to convince her. But still, she also recognized that it's very necessary. There are not many voices like me who really speak the truth. Because politicians make a career of it. And yeah, let's see what's going to happen, what the universe wants to do with me. Not many speak to it, but also not many who can do it in English. And I often have struggles talking to the French groupings and saying, could I have someone not speak English? And it's like, no. Rob, I really appreciate you coming on. John, I thoroughly enjoyed your many videos going out and speaking truth in the European Parliament and looking forward to seeing what is the next step for you. But thank you so much for joining us today. Yeah, it was a pleasure. And if I have news, when I know what I'm going to do, Id love to come back. You're welcome anytime. I keep on speaking, I promise. Thank you, Rob. Thank you.
