🇫🇷⚡️- Today's protests in France were supposed to be the apotheosis of the riots that have been rocking the country for a few weeks. The 17th October was heralded online as the revival of the Yellow Vests and the transition of the riots from localized violent outbursts to a nationwide movement about grievances. For now, it is a complete failure, with less than 180k protesters expected across the nation. The left's documented interference has prevented the reemergence of a massive apolitical anti-Macron movement.

📢 🇨🇿 🇪🇸 Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš:

We see what's happening in Spain. Some politicians are willing to replace their own population with migrants just to stay in office and remain in government.

I'm convinced that for some of these countries, it's already too late.

Maybe one day we will have to defend our borders to prevent migrants from Western countries from coming here, if this continues. And of course, we are preparing for that.
