Europe’s top right-wing leaders gathered in the Czech capital Prague on Saturday for a two-day summit to formulate a joint strategy to end mass migration and restore national sovereignty in the face of an EU power grab.

The conference titled "For a Europe of Sovereign Nations" was attended by prominent right-wing politicians from Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland and the UK. Participants called for US-style travel bans and stricter immigration checks modeled after Australian laws.

“We must have the courage to introduce travel bans, as President Trump has done in the US. We must have the courage to send every boat with illegal migrants back, as Australia is doing,” said Geert Wilders, the leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV). “We must have the courage to restrict legal immigration instead of expanding it, even if we sometimes have to build a wall,” the Dutch politician added.

Marine Le Pen, the leader of France’s National Front, accused the EU of “killing Europe” and called for unity among patriotic European parties to resist Brussels’ policy of open arms for illegal immigrants – mostly fighting-age men from Muslim majority countries.

“I think this is something we have in common, because the European Union is a disastrous organization which is leading our continent to destruction through dilution by drowning it in migrants, by the negation of our respective countries, by the draining of our diversity,” she said.

UK newspaper Daily Express covered the summit organized by the Europe of Nations and Freedom (ENF) held over the weekend in Czech capital, Prague:

Marine Le Pen, leader of Front National, accused the EU of “killing Europe” as she advocated the establishment of a new union - a “Europe of sovereign nations”. (…)

Ally Gert Wilders, the leader of the Dutch anti-immigration Party for Freedom (PVV), added Brussels was an “existential threat” for European Union nations.

He said he was convinced states would be better off without the bloc in terms of security and economy, as he again called for the end of mass immigration.

The populist figurehead also said Europe should follow in Donald Trump’s example by imposing travel bans to restrict the flow of migrants - or even build walls to make crossing borders impossible.

The comments come as the leaders attended a congress of the Movement for a Europe of Nations and Freedom (MENL), a European Parliament group established in 2015 (…).

The conference coincides with the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) entering the new coalition government in the country – arguably the biggest setback to the unelected EU Commissars in Brussels since the Brexit vote this July.

Patriotic right-wing parties across Europe have surged in recent national elections, challenging the dominant liberal establishment in their respective countries, and resisting the EU’s attempts to create a centralized superstate run from Brussels.

The loss of national sovereignty became painfully evident in the wake of the Migrant Crisis which began in the autumn of 2015, as one European nation-state after another was forced to open its borders and take in immigrants in keeping with the wishes of Brussels and Berlin.

Last week, the EU called a European summit to discuss the relocation of hundreds and thousands of newly arrived migrants across the continent. The Soviet-style centralized ‘Migrant Relocation Plan,’ is being rolled out by the EU despite opposition from many Eastern European governments.

Earlier this month, the EU began legal proceedings against the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland for refusing to take in immigrants under the relocation plan.

The coming together of the leading political figures, at the forefront patriotic resistance in Europe, is a sign of hope for the continent facing its biggest existential challenge since the World War II.
