Pushback Against the Invasion in Germany, Switzerland
Looks like Europeans’ survival instinct hasn’t been completely destroyed by political correctness just yet:
Germany’s PEGIDA movement holds an anti-migrant rally Monday a year on from its formation, highlighting a European backlash towards a massive influx that has heaped pressure on Chancellor Angela Merkel.
PEGIDA is an acronym that means Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West (Patriotische Europaeer gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes). The rally took place in its home town of Dresden.
Simmering tensions ended in violence in the western city of Cologne on Saturday when a man with a knife attacked independent mayoral candidate Henriette Reker, who is active in helping refugees, leaving her with serious neck wounds and injuring four others. …
In another sign of increasing anti-migrant sentiment in Europe, a Swiss populist party known for its virulent campaigns against immigration, the European Union and Islam won a record number of seats in the Alpine nation’s parliamentary elections on Sunday.
The Dresden rally drew an estimated 9,000. Looks like PEGIDA obituaries were premature.
The anger will have to build fast and find a constructive focus quickly, or it will be too little too late.
