Uncontrolled immigration from countries which don't share EU principles and democracy is highly undesirable in my opinion. Also, calling economic migrants "refugees" is such a stupid concept that only left wing can come up with it. Sure, Syrians aren't economic migrants, but they're not the only ones that the EU calls refugees. E.g. Afghanistan, Iran, etc. Then pay it for yourself. It's always the same bullshit, when it's something I care for like free education, health care, pensions etc. right-wingers want to liberalize it, when it's something they care for like more law and order bullshit they want to keep it in state hand and increase spending and then tell me it's in my best interest. No it's not. I don't give a fuck about terrorism that causes less casualities than free roaming cows and I don't give a fuck about whether people run into a church or a mosque. | ||

Uh, they actually have some vigilantes doing border patrols in eastern Europe. I think it's safe to say you don't really want more of that. | ||

If you're working, chances are you're paying for Bulgaria's wall and border control. The EU is giving some funds to my country to help. The reason is migrants are going through Turkey and Turkey is a neighbour of Bulgaria. I'm actually happy to pay for wall as part of my taxes, and because I pay taxes, I'm probably doing so already. You might not care about terrorism, but I care. Many people do. Stop betraying your country. I know you have a nazi past as a country, but letting refugees en masse won't give you redemption (just in case Germany and Austria do it for that reason). | ||

Mélenchon is not pro Putin. And his position to Moscow, which i don't like, has nothing at all to do with him being communist (he actually isn't communist but nevermind). | ||

Yeah, Czech communist are still amusingly pro-Russian and anti-EU while the EU is miles ahead in building socialism than current day Russia is. It's just so hard to get the old ideas our of their minds apparently. | ||

Seems like there are a lot of different ideas out there, but Macron seems to have won. | ||

Who said there are no exit polls? But interestingly, I found only the very reputable Daily Mail reporting on them, so ... Says Macron and Le Pen. | ||

Says Macron and Le Pen. the guy who said that said there would be no exit polls from french companies and all exit polls would be from elsewhere, thus less reliable according to him. Idk how true either of that is but that's what he said iirc | ||
