What does Trump win spell for Europe? It is about time he won.
Before I start, I would like to say that I came to the United Kingdom as a refugee. I would like to thank the people of Europe for accepting me and I am very grateful, especially with the state of my home country at the moment, however things back then were different than it is today...
As much as I hate Donald Trump, it is about time he won.
The reason why Donald Trump won is simply because politicians DO NOT listen to the people and ignore big topics such as immigration because they are afraid of stating their own opinions, because it will cause a big backlash thanks to the liberal media bias. Trump spoke the truth, openly and freely.
European countries such as Austria, France, Italy, Greece and other European countries will most likely follow the same footsteps in the near future.
Sweden on the other hand is too liberal to wake up from its ‘paradise dreamland’ and face reality.
Far right wing parties across Europe are increasing at alarming rates due to the migrant crisis, terrorism and other factors such as power struggles within the EU and recent events such as brexit.
The National front in France led by Marine Le Pen who are increasing in polls and won 12 cities in the municipal elections and 25% of votes in the French European elections giving them huge influence in the EU Parliament. Did I say that this party is anti-EU? Should I mention about the Calais jungle and other jungles and ghettos a.k.a no go zones across not only across France but also other European countries like Sweden?
Now that Trump has won, France current President has an approval rating of below 10%, the unfortunate terrorist attacks across France and Europe and the running candidates in the upcoming French Election next year are quite unpopular, Marine Le Pen has a good chance of winning and if she doesn't win, she will most likely gain large amount of seats in the French Parliament to have huge influence.
The Freedom Party of Austria led by Norbert Hofer, who by the way almost won the Austrian presidential election 2016 in May by just 30,863 votes. Just like the National Front, they are also anti-EU. This is the guy who is considered to be the Austrian Donald Trump. He likes to carry around a Glock 9mm pistol for his ‘own safety’. I wonder why?
It is often said that Austria is the most eurosceptic country in the EU after the United Kingdom.
You know what's funny about this year, Austrian Elections? Due to the very small victory of The Greens – The Green Alternative Party , the courts in Austria ruled that another election had to be scheduled on the 2nd of October, however that was postponed to December because of 'faulty glue'.
Thanks to Germany selfish decision to invite over 1 million refugees for their own beneficial gains (which backfired) in the long term due to Germany ageing population. European countries are forced to take on refugees even if they do not want to (Hungary and Poland) or can’t afford to do so (Greece), the EU will put pressure on these countries and by bullying them.
Where was the common sense when Merkel decided the decision to allow millions of migrants without any form of identify to enter Germany though 'other countries' such as Austria and Hungary who was against with the idea. Why didn't Germany just fly the refugees to them instead of causing problems in other smaller and poorer countries by further increasing tension and dividing Europe up. Germany should be punished for causing all of this mess, however that won't happen because Germany is currently the powerhouse of the EU and Eurozone.
Italy almost lost their s**t in the summer due to the poorly structured banking sector. This could have caused the Eurozone to collapse. You should also look at the state Italy’s economy is in at the moment. I give you an idea, the IMF warned Italy that it will face two-decade long recession. It will take the country until 2025 to recover from the 2008 financial crash. Italy has one of highest debt levels in the EU, standing at 132.7% debt to GDP as of right now.
Yet every year Italy is takes in thousands of refugees and they can’t cope with the situation.
I can go on and on, but it will probably bore the whole lot of you, but what I’m saying that the way the world is at the moment, we are not far away from a full-scale crisis here in Europe, however we prevent that from happening if we take action now.
As much as I feel sorry for these refugees such as those who were in the Calais Jungle before it was demolished, who have little hope, they put themselves into that situation by taking advantage of our generosity and I can't blame them. Most of us will probably do the same if we were in their shoes. Escaping from war-torn countries.
Thank you for reading my opinion post.
