On 21 April 2018, Génération Identitaire mounted an operation at the Col de l'Echelle, a crossing point for many migrants in the Hautes-Alpes: a hundred people dressed in the same light blue down jacket, two helicopters, a giant banner, and a "symbolic frontier" materialized in the snow by plastic screens.

Voorpost Protest Against Asylum Seekers Center in Ter Apel

The nationalist action group Voorpost demonstrated on Sunday August 4th in Ter Apel. Mayor Jaap Velema van Westerwolde said that he had not informed him of that action."If this repeats itself, we may have to take a somewhat firmer measure next time." Voorpost announced on Sunday afternoon that it wanted to come to Ter Apel more often and 'unexpectedly'.

The twelve demonstrators were fined, chanting slogans such as 'Hand in hand, back to their own country', not on Sunday. Voorpost would prefer that the registration center in Ter Apel close its doors. Velema in turn prefers to focus on a group of asylum seekers from safe countries. "A very small group that puts the quality of life on the COA site, on the bus and in the shopping center under pressure."

Velema considers it important that there remains support for the center. "We are therefore taking measures to reduce the inconvenience." An example of this is extra police deployment in the village of Ter Apel.

'Free Tommy' demonstration in London

Twenty-four people have been arrested following a demonstration on Ausgust 4th in support of the jailed Tommy Robinson and a counterprotest led by the anti-racist group Stand Up to Racism. Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was sentenced to nine months in prison last month after he was found to have been in contempt of court.
Supporters of the far-right activist gathered in Oxford Circus on Saturday, chanting “We want Tommy out” as anti-fascist counter-protesters declared that Robinson’s supporters “can’t march unopposed”.
Despite the Metropolitan police imposing strict conditions on the protests, which limited groups to specific areas and certain time periods, attempts to keep the opposing demonstrators apart failed when pro-Robinson supporters moved towards the counter-demonstration.
Among those arrested were three men and one woman who were detained on suspicion of assaulting a police officer.
Thirteen men and one woman were arrested for breaching the conditions imposed by the police on the rally under section 14 of the Public Order Act. A further two men were arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly and two men were arrested for affray.
One man was arrested on suspicion of possessing class A drugs and another was arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon.
Police did not give a breakdown of how arrests were split across the two groups when asked by the Guardian.

Bulgaria’s United Patriots coalition ‘officially disbanded’: Ataka expelled; NFSB and VMRO would continue together

Two of the parties in the United Patriots, the ultra-nationalist grouping that is the minority partner in Bulgarian Prime Minister Boiko Borissov’s coalition government, have voted to expel the third, Volen Siderov’s Ataka party. The move is seen as effectively spelling the end of the United Patriots coalition.

This emerged on July 25, a day after a United Patriots coalition council meeting – the first in many months – lasted a mere two minutes before breaking up in the acrimony that long since has come to characterise the fractious grouping. The Wednesday meeting collapsed after Siderov insisted that it be held in the presence of the media. The other two parties refused.

A meeting on Thursday of the United Patriots, held without Ataka, voted to expel Siderov, as well as Ataka MPs Dessislav Chukulov and Pavel Shopov, from the group. The decision came 15 days after the two parties – Valeri Simeonov’s National Front for the Salvation of Bulgaria (NFSB) and Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Krassimir Karakachanov’s VMRO – voted to oust Siderov as parliamentary leader of the United Patriots.

The United Patriots became the minority partner in government in May 2017, with a coalition agreement that included a commitment between it and Borissov’s GERB party that Borissov’s third government would serve a full four-year term. On the late afternoon of July 25, NFSB MP Slavcho Atanassov told a local television station that the United Patriots coalition is “officially disbanded”.

Atanassov said that it was unclear whether the three parties will sign individual agreements with GERB. He indicated that the NFSB and VMRO would continue to work together.

“It came to a decision that we cannot go on like this and practically from today we are dividing. The separation with Ataka is already a fact,” Atanassov said. Earlier on July 25, Karakachanov said that the existence of the United Patriots coalition was in question. The meeting of the coalition council on Thursday was reported to have voted 20 in favour, none against and with no abstentions, to expel Ataka. Karakachanov said that for more than a year, the United Patriots coalition had not been functioning. He accused Ataka of “systematic sabotage of group decisions, and personal attacks” against himself and Simeonov.

“It’s all over,” Karakachanov said. “Mr Siderov and his colleagues from Ataka do not want to work with NFSB and VMRO, let them swim freely in the ocean.” Karakachanov said that the decision did not end the majority in the National Assembly and nor did it put the government’s term in office in jeopardy.

While, after previous rivalry among themselves, the three parties stood together in Bulgaria’s 2017 early parliamentary elections – together gaining enough votes to place them to become a coalition government partner – subsequent infighting saw them stand individually in the country’s May 2019 European Parliament elections. VMRO won two of Bulgaria’s 17 MEP seats, while neither of the other two parties won any seats.

Finns Party political debate in Pori on “replacement of population”

Jussi Halla-aho, the chairperson of the Finns Party (Perussuomalaiset), lead the meeting of the Finns Party at SuomiAreena, a political debate event held annually in Pori, Western Finland, on Tuesday July 16th.

The Finns Party attempted to make sense of the term “replacement of population”. Jussi Halla-aho, the chairperson of the Finns Party, viewed that the debate surrounding the somewhat controversial term has been an attempt to prompt the populist right-wing party to attempt to define the population that is being replaced and, thereby, to define Finnishness.

“I can’t give you an all-encompassing definition of who is and who isn’t a Finn. It’s a case-by-case thing,” he said at the annually held debate forum. “I think we all have a relatively cohesive, intuitive understanding of whether or not someone walking towards us is a Finn. And this question is much more complicated than what’s that someone’s skin colour or family background. We can’t even start by saying that everyone who was born in Finland is part of this group.”

Also Riikka Purra, the first deputy chairperson of the Finns Party, referred to intuition in explaining the concept.“If you look in front of you here, you could think that the talk about replacement of population is hooey: Wherever you look, you see a Finn. But walking in Uusimaa, Helsinki and Espoo, I can intuitively think based on people’s external characteristics that our population is constantly changing. The same argument is supported by statistics,” she said. The debate surrounding the term has be linked partly to the ethno-nationalist statements made by the Finns Party Youth.

Walter Lübcke, a supporter of Chancellor Merkel's open refugee policy, was shot in the head at his home near the city of Kassel on June 2.
