BIG CHANGES IN EUROPE

Citizens of the European Union have spoken. They said enough with the damaging and evil policies of the left. The Europeans said no to open borders, to unsound economic policies that bring inflation, they said no to climate cooling, no warming, no let’s just say change polices, and they said no to ending their national sovereignty for more government. The Europeans said no to all the issues the Democrats are forcing upon Americans. Now we must ask ourselves if Americans will also reject this transformation to Communism.
The commonsense parties of the right rattled the traditional powers in the European Union with major gains in parliamentary seats, dealing an especially humiliating defeat to French President Emmanuel Macron, who has subsequently called snap legislative elections.
The outcome showed the 27-nation bloc’s parliament membership has clearly shifted to the right. Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni more than doubled her party’s seats in the assembly. The Alternative for Germany right party rallied enough seats to sweep past the slumping Social Democrats of Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Sensing a threat from the right, the Christian Democrats of EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had already shifted further to the right on migration and climate ahead of the elections — and were rewarded by remaining by far the biggest group in the 720-seat European Parliament and de facto brokers of the ever-expanding powers of the legislature.
The surge by nationalist and populist parties across Europe will make it much harder for the assembly to approve legislation on issues ranging from climate change, immigration, and agriculture policy.
The star on a stunning electoral night was the National Rally party of Marine Le Pen, which dominated the French polls to such an extent that Macron immediately dissolved the national parliament and called for new elections to start later this month. It was a massive political risk since his party could suffer more losses, hobbling the rest of his presidential term that ends in 2027.
 Le Pen was delighted to accept the challenge. “We’re ready to turn the country around, ready to defend the interests of the French, ready to put an end to mass immigration,” she said, echoing the rallying cry of so many far-right leaders in other countries who were celebrating substantial wins.
And we in North America pray that this commonsense trend continues, and even grows in our upcoming elections, specifically the United States elections in November.
