The EU’s immigration "fix" is a scam
Brussels claims it's finally getting serious about deportations, but the reality? Another bureaucratic sham designed to appease voters while keeping Europe's borders wide open. Meanwhile, the Digital Services Act is being dressed up as a "neutral" regulation—when in reality, it’s a censorship weapon, silencing dissent under the guise of fighting "disinformation."
And if that wasn’t enough, the EU’s latest power grab in Romania is straight out of an authoritarian playbook. Călin Georgescu, the frontrunner in the presidential race, has been blocked from running—on laughably flimsy legal grounds. The message is clear: Brussels and its local elites will cancel elections before they let an anti-establishment candidate win.
The topics of this weeks podcast:
**Why is the EU pretending to care about deportations while quietly paving the way for more migration?
**How does the Digital Services Act give unelected bureaucrats the power to control what you can see and say online?
**Is Romania just the beginning? Could Brussels intervene in other national elections to crush populist challengers?
Jacob Reynolds is joined by Javier Villamor (The European Conservative) and MCC Brussels' Richard Schenk to break down the EU’s latest authoritarian moves, its desperation to maintain control, and why even left-wing voices are starting to sound the alarm.
