Contrary to what the European People’s Party and the mainstream media claims, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is defending European civilization, French author and philosopher Eric Zemmour said on television channel CNews’ evening political talk show on March 4.

Zemmour was speaking the day after Hungary’s ruling conservative Fidesz party left the European People’s Party (EPP) European parliamentary group on March 3. On that day, Fidesz Vice-President Katalin Novák posted on Facebook that “we will not let our MEPs be silenced or limited in their capacity to represent our voters. Tackling the pandemic and saving lives remains our number one priority. Therefore, following the adoption of the new rules in the EPP Group, Fidesz has decided to leave the group.”

Zemmour said that while the majority of the EPP, which launched a crusade against Fidesz almost two years ago was accusing, Orbán’s party of betraying traditional European values, this claim couldn’t be further from the truth.

“They are speaking about the famous European values Fidesz doesn’t respect. (…) Today the European values are exclusively the progressive values of the contemporary left. This is what Orbán ‘doesn’t respect'”, Zemmour said.

“I think Orbán is rather defending the European civilization by fighting against the invasion from the South, (more) than the European Commission which is open to immigration.”

“While in the past the German Christian-Democrats were a kind of balancing force between the EPP’s political platforms, but in recent years they have made concessions to the Socialists,” Zemmour said. “This resulted in changes of the EPP’s statute that would have facilitated the expulsion of Orbán. As I said, he anticipated the move and preferred to stay ahead of it.”

“(Orbán) understood the evolution of the Christian democracy in Germany. It is never spoken of, but the Christian democracy under Merkel has become worse, and it will become still worse under her successor,” Zemmour said. “As a British politician once said, the European Christian democracy is neither democratic nor Christian.”

In future, it will be forbidden in Sweden to participate in organizations that are designated as “racist”. The committee working on the issue will propose this in April, according to news outlet TT. The Prime Minister has already called the second largest opposition party, the Sweden Democrats (SD), racist.

In July 2019, the Löfven government appointed the “Committee on the Prohibition of Racist Organizations”, with the task of considering whether Swedes who participate in organizations that can be designated as “racist” should be punished. The committee will submit its final report in April 2021.

According to TT, there is now a parliamentary majority behind the proposal to “introduce criminal liability for participation in a racist organization”. Most parties support the move.

According to TT, there is still no parliamentary ban on dissolving “racist organizations” and such a decision would require a constitutional amendment. In practice, however, the difference between dissolving an organization and punishing participation in it is not so great.
As Swedish daily Nya Tider has previously reported, however, it is extremely unclear what will be counted as a “racist” organization if the government succeeds in enforcing a ban.

The government already has the right to ban associations that “involve persecution of a ethnic group due to ethnic origin, skin colour or similar circumstances”. It is then becomes absolutely crucial how one defines “persecution”, something the investigators could not explain when Nya Tiderlast spoke to a couple of them in September last year. Nor had the word “racism” been defined.

The two most important key concepts for pointing out exactly what should be banned were thus still unclear. Dag Mattsson, the special investigator who leads the work, would not respond to calls from the weekly.

However, the investigator Ida Karkiainen revealed to Nya Tider that they were primarily looking at how Finland had banned the Nordic Resistance Movement (NMR). When we talked to the NMR representative Pär Öberg, however, he said that not even the banned organization itself had managed to understand exactly what it meant.

Jeff Ahl, a former member of parliament for the Sweden Democrats who now represents Alternative for Sweden, pointed out that the unclear definitions opened up a shift in meaning where one can count on more and more organizations being banned.

“Alternatives for Sweden will of course not be banned in the first wave, but the ‘blackest sheep’ instead according to the politically correct view of the matter, that is, NMR. But the goal is guaranteed to be able to ban us both as well as the Sweden Democrats and other parties. We do not need to hesitate for a second that there are people who would like to go so far that they can ban one of the larger parties in Sweden,” Jeff Ahl told Nya Tider.

The government pointed out in particular “anti-Semitic and Afrophobic messages” that need to be banned. However, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven has previously said, for example, that SD was a racist party. In SVT Agenda in October 2016, he said that “Sweden Democrats are a Nazi and racist party.” But after the program he partially backed down and corrected himself: “SD is a racist party with Nazi roots.”

Even without a ban, the law on “incitement against ethnic groups” has been used by the Svea Court of Appeal to convict a 68-year-old woman for having written that all Africans should be sent home. When Nya Tider called the appellate court advisers behind the verdict, it turned out that none of them could answer how many Africans should stay in Sweden in order not to break the law.

The so-called “Tiergarten Murder Trial”, which is currently taking place before the Berlin Court of Appeal, is about an alleged contract murder of a “Georgian asylum seeker” in the Kleiner Tiergarten in Berlin on August 23, 2019.

But the “Georgian” is actually the Chechen terrorist Selimchan Changoshvili, which has largely been concealed in mainstream reporting or at least played down by the media during the Berlin trial.

Changoshvili, who, according to the book To Remove a Witness by Islam Sayadaew, called himself the “Emir of the Pankissi Jamaat” in August 2008, comes from the Georgian Pankissi Valley, where the Chechen minority of Kisten lives. Sayadaew knows what he’s writing about. He was once a high-ranking militiaman of the Chechen Islamists who was also active in Georgia. So he knew Changoshvili well.

The Pankissi valley, from which Changoshvili originates, is also considered one of the breeding grounds of al-Qaeda and later of the “Islamic State” (IS). Changoshvili himself fought alongside Chechen Islamists during the Second Chechen War against Russia and his own compatriots, who wanted to come to an understanding with Moscow.

In addition, Changoshvili is considered a supporter of the so-called “Caucasus Emirate”, a proclaimed, unrecognized Islamist state in the North Caucasus. This is also anything but a secret: The Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote on August 26, 2019, just three days after the death of Changoshvili, that he had fought against Russia in the Second Chechnya War “as a supporter of the rebel group ‘Caucasian Emirate’” and with no reference to Russian sources, but rather on the “findings of German security authorities”.

The “Caucasus Emirate” is considered a magnet for the global Islamist terror scene. Both Moscow and Washington refer to the Caucasus emirate as a “terrorist organization”. The UN Security Council also put the Caucasus emirate on a list of organizations that cooperate with the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda.

In his book To Remove a Witness, Islam Sayadaew also points out another interesting fact: In an interview with Changoshvili, he confided that he no longer felt safe in Georgia. Changoshvili claimed that he could be the target of an assassination at any time. Interestingly enough, however, he did not feel threatened by the Russian secret services, but rather by the Georgian ones, with whom he had even co-operated for a while.

If Sayadaev is to be believed, Changoshvili was one of the leaders in a military provocation in 2012 in the Georgian Lopota Valley, near the border with Dagestan, which belongs to the Russian Federation. Several militants and members of the Georgian security forces were killed in intense fighting in the incident. On the US news website TheDailyBeast, a member of the Georgian security services suspected that Chechen Islamists from the Pankissi Valley had tried to advance into Dagestan – allegedly to give Moscow an excuse to attack Georgia.

Myths and legends surround this incident, which has not yet been clarified. Book author Sayadaew believes in a completely different version: Allegedly, the militant Chechens and the Georgian secret service planned this provocation directed against Russia with the aim of helping the pro-Western and thoroughly anti-Russian Georgian politician Mikheil Saakashvili again to be elected to the office of President.

Sayadaew’s book throws a spotlight on the complexity of the conflicts in the Caucasus, on constantly changing alliances and archaic blood feuds – the world of Selimchan Changoshvili. No wonder that, after the Chechen murder, the German security authorities are assuming “a thousand possibilities” as to who could have killed Changoshvili, as the Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote at the time.
