Another European leader opts for national survival rather than the national suicide that the EU is embracing and prescribing.
“Slovakia Backs Hungary on Migrant Crisis: ‘We Are Not Prepared to Suffer for the Mistakes of Others,’” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, June 29, 2018 (thanks to Inexion):
Slovak prime minister Peter Pellegrini backed the stance of his Hungarian counterpart, Viktor Orbán, against EU-mandated migrant quotas and George Soros-backed NGOs.
Pellegrini is taking over the presidency of the pro-sovereignty, anti-mass migration Visegrád Group — the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland, with Austria participating as something of an adjunct member since the country’s new conservative-nationalist coalition took office — from Mr Orbán.
Speaking during a joint interview on Slovak television, Pellegrini made it clear he would continue the Hungarian leader’s policy of opposition to Brussels redistributing migrants across Europe.
“Who may enter Slovakia and whom we let in to live here are issues that the Slovak government will decide on, and we shall not accept someone else from Brussels deciding this for us, or some other country dictating to us on this… it’s our right to decide whom we want or don’t want on our territory,” he asserted.
“I’d like to confirm and repeat Mr Orbán’s words: we are not prepared to suffer the consequences of the mistakes of others.”
Pellegrini made it clear who he felt had been making “mistakes” in Europe with a number of thinly-veiled shots at Germany’s embattled chancellor, Angela Merkel.
The EU’s migration policies, he insisted, could not be decided “by one country saying ‘We welcome you, come to us’, without the consent of the other countries” — in clear reference to Merkel’s unilateral decision to open her country’s borders to anyone claiming to be a Syrian refugee, which resulted in a flood of illegal migrants through south-eastern and central Europe.
“We cannot tolerate a situation in which some countries’ failure to put their houses in order has led to the border having more holes in it than Emmental cheese; and we cannot tolerate a situation in which we see the arrival here and free movement within the European Union of hundreds of thousands of people about whom we know nothing,” he added….
Timothy says
It is good to see a country standing up to the EU immigrant mandates.
Bev says
Yes.
J D S says
Maybe some of Europe is salvageable….

I’m no authority on anything religious, and I’m sure as hell not a “Bible Thumper” that , as Mark Twain wrote, finds a sermon to “wag its crippled tail” at the end of every statement.
But I sincerely wish the blessings of God to all the European peoples who suffered under the Third Reich,and then the crushing domination of the USSR for so many years.
They have emerged to be the only nations with the brains and the fortitude to tell the EU to go to hell with their mandatory invasions of supposed refugees.
My applause to all of them !
As it is said: “From my fingers to God’s ear !”

Good news. It is only prudent that at least part of Europe limit Islamic immigration, since whatever the mindset of individual Muslims, Islam in general brings with it fundamental and negative changes to society, in particular the undermining of basic human rights like freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
A fair policy that would help both the Muslim and non-Muslim world is a moratorium on further Muslim immigration to non-Muslim nations until such time as a majority of Muslim-majority nations permit and protect freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
Michael says
Islam has no concept of freedom. Stop talking nonsense. Your moratorium must be permanent or eventually all Western freedoms will be gone.
gravenimage says
It would be essentially permanent, since Islam is not going to change.
Gjallarhornet says
Anybody ever hear a muslim singing the line from “Me and Bobby Mcgee – ‘Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose’?
No? Nobody heard that? Thought so.
Giacomo Latta says
The only right that Islam supports is that of an early death.
Bezelel says
Clear thinking on his part. Who wants to pay for someone else’s mistakes ? Nobody unless they’re paying with someone else’s money. I cannot understand how the damage has gone this far without correction.
Anne Smith says
You hit the nail on the head. The EU (and British) politicians have always enjoyed spending other people’s money – it is what they do best and the expenditure is usually total waste.
nicu says
Stay strong Slovakia ! Like Hungary and Poland !
Greets from Germanistan :/
6woods says
Stay strong. My grandparents were German. I still have many relatives there, but absolutely refuse to go back until this islamic mess has been cleaned up. Which will be never.
Marty says
Slovakia has become part of the new Europe that does not,want to be islamized with all the institutionalized misery the muslim death cult brings.
Yogi says
Guess who is behind this awful mess !!!, Merkel , with Her disgusting policies “ no limit “ for Muslim !!, arrogant ugly communist women who thinks she is doing right think for Germany and Europe in the same time , crime and rape skyrocket, Europeans are suffering because of Her , and all this idiots in the Brussel , I hope she end up in jail for betrayal of German people..
Yogi says
Germany slowly becoming third world country, it used to be nice and clean , now You can see on the streets this filth and dirt , , Berlin is one of this filth , it’s heartbreaking, what she did to the hard working Germans ..
Jennifer says
Sounds like Londonistan and Britainistan! Whole swathes of British territory now have a foreign and often hostile third world majority where the native Brits are a minority.
Sons of Liberty says
YES to Slovakia , Poland , Hungary , and the Czech Republic PUTTING a stop to the Islamization of Europe ! Keep your countries FREE and don’t lose your Western culture to the evil ideology of Islam !
Bacherbazistan says
I’ll be taking my holidays in countries like these from now on.
Save Europe says
Agreed! Support those countries ??
tim gallagher says
It’s great to see these countries being strong enough to end the pathetic caving in to Islam that so many other countries have been doing. They are a good example to other countries. They show that resistance is possible. And I think Austria and maybe Italy are showing some good signs of having woken up to the dangers of Islam as well.
DHazard says
It seems that years and years of living under Russian boots makes someone more likely to recognize looming oppression. Muslims don’t hide their global wishes, it’s just that the relatively easy life in the Western world has lulled many people into complacency, people who then easily follow the siren song that says all Muslims can be transformed into respectable citizens who will benefit their adoptive culture.
Older Canadian says
The eastern europeon countries who have been freed from communism over the past 25 years treasure their freedom.
Add to this the two world wars in the last century, then top it off with the Ottoman Empire prior to these two hideous wars, their position to choose their destiny is a well deserved right. They cannot nor should not be forced, or bullied, or shamed by any group, any country, or idealist, but should be respected and honoured for their strength. It would be more astute to follow their lead as history has taught them well, and they survived.

Slovakia on Muslim migrant influx: “We are not prepared to suffer the consequences of the mistakes of others”
……………………
Hear, hear, Slovakia!
elee says
Give special credit and special credence to Slovakia, which learned a thing or two about other people’s mistakes after Chamberlain bought “peace in our time” st Munich. A resounding NO to that and to “Allah in heaven and Hitler on earth.”! Thank you Slovakia. May we be worthy of your example.
Antivenin says
Just be happy the EUSSR does not have its own army yet. Any doubt that that army would by now be marching on the Visegrad countries to bring them to heel? Never, ever allow that bunch of shameless dictators in Brussels to have the military might to subdue the peoples of Europe!!
Older Canadian says
I read that the EU army does exist. It is small but Merkel last year wanted to beef it up. Goggle it. Fake news? Sure hope so, but on some sites I read about it leaves doubt.
Bev says
Well if they can afford to pay for their own EU Army they certainly should have the money to ante up in NATO.
Bacherbazistan says
German army is a bit of a joke these days.
Save Europe says
To be honest – and you and I are on the same page, generally – an EU army does NOT exist. However, people like Merkel would like to create one. Again – as an ex military UK man – it does NOT exist. We have to be careful! Please do not create false rumours/stories or we stand to be accused of ‘fake news’ like the Left, are. Please be careful!

Victory in Christ says
Bravo! We can say the same here in the U.S.:We Are Not Prepared to Suffer for the Mistakes of Others,’”
Nishant Avasthi says
the idea is right but do the European countries have any sort of borders to restrict migration/cross-over to other EU nations ? If something is not done soon enough, the war may be lost to Islam even before the battle begins.
gravenimage says
Important point.
Scorpio says
Dear Mr Pellegrini,
I hope your comments were not an apology to the EU. No apology is needed! Islam, regrettably, as all the evidence indicates is utterly incompatible with Western norms and trying to appease Islam only encourages it.
Having lived in many Muslin countries and for the most part enjoyed what was on offer; but if you don’t comply with their rules (and rightly so) don’t expect to receive a warm welcome. So surely Western countries shouldn’t be required to accommodate the barbaric norms of Muslims?
gravenimage says
What did you “enjoy” about living in barbaric Muslim lands?
Rufolino says
Soon Slovakia (and Hungary) will find they have become the destination for another invasion: European people fleeing W.Europe when civil conflict between Islam and Christian Europe begins.
Opinionated says
Next step, all these Muslims must do coming from these countries – get a nice little cross so when they are attempting to cross the borders put it on, learn the basics about christianity, say they believe in the “lord jesus christ” so these anti-immigrant countries will take them in, as soon as they get in and are settled, get rid of that cross and practice your Islam. This would be perfect taqiya.
Each Muslim would have at least 4 children so replace the aging population of these countries.
All they do is do this for a couple of years and decades, do your practices underground or in private homes etc, before you know it, lots of Muslims flooding the streets of Poland and these other racists countries – great stuff isn’t it? (smiles).
gravenimage says
I see the repulsive “Opinionated” is once again gloating over Muslims destroying the free West. *Ugh*.
patriotliz says
The V4— the new “Eastern Bloc” of freedom against the IslamoNazi occupied West. Kind of ironic, huh?
Western Europe squandered the freedom Americans died to give them.
Valkyrie Ziege says

Rosie Barnes says
The bad news for all the “migrants”/economic parasites is that even if they manage to land on European soil (already more difficult thanks to the welcome stance of Italy) these are the countries they would have to find a way through to reach their destinations of choice – the “multicultural”, welfare-generous havens of Britain, Germany and Sweden, where even ordinary people don’t want them (if they ever did). But the borders are sealed everywhere from Croatia to Austria.
And in the unlikely event of them reaching Northern France, they will find no camps like before, where they can wait till they make their attempts to get to Britain, and they will be met with extremely hostile, now anti-immigrant French.
Attitudes in Europe have (finally) hardened. NOT NEEDED. NOT WELCOME. STAY AWAY.
