European leaders have expressed deep concern over the importation of Afghan asylum seekers in the wake of the NATO rout and retreat. Some claim to have cottoned on to what a London taxi driver could have told them years ago: ‘some suggesting that western governments may be welcoming terrorists who have disguised themselves as refugees.’

From Madrid to Moscow, leaders like VOX Party Santiago Abascal, Marine Le Pen, Matteo Salvini, Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa, and Russian President Vladimir Putin all warn against taking in so-called asylum seekers. 

Both Hungary, Czechia, and Poland add their voices with all three countries making it clear that they would actively oppose any EU attempt to open the migrant floodgates to their nations.

Some estimate that some 400,000 Afghans are headed west toward Europe, not other nations that they pass through.  Others, Germany’s Sybille Schnehage anticipate 3 million Afghan asylum in addition to the existing flood from the NATO wrecked North Africa and Middle east. Iran is chortling.

Perhaps one of the least significant countries to resist is Austria. Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, says it already has 44,000 Afghan migrants and does not want more. Cops say they are already overwhelmed clubbing Covid anti-serum protestors.

Slovenia’s Prime Minister Janez Jansa urged the European Union to refrain from repeating the mistakes of 2015, which precipitated the continent’s disastrous migrant crisis. 

Perhaps one of the most significant countries to come out against accepting Afghan migrants is Austria. Led by the conservative government of Sebastian Kurz, the country has indicated that it already has 44,000 Afghan migrants and does not want to accept anymore.

The Slovenian head of state argued that the European people are in no way duty-bound to look after every asylum seeker in the world who’s chosen to abandon their own country to head for the West. 

Hungary, Czechia, and Poland have made it clear they are not interested in taking in migrants from lands featuring cultures alien to Europe.

Jansa’s comments come just days after Santiago Abascal and Matteo Salvini, the leaders of Spain’s Vox party and Italy’s League voiced similar concerns over welcoming large numbers of Afghan asylum seekers who haven’t assisted EU and NATO missions in Kabul over the past two decades. 

‘Afghans fleeing Taliban terror must be welcomed in neighbouring Muslim countries. Although, the consensus of progressive politicians will now claim that it is the European who should suffer the consequences of their mistakes and their betrayals,’ Abascal wrote.

Matteo Salvini, Italy’s former interior minister and leader of the League party, stated that he’s also opposed to opening the country’s doors to thousands of ‘potential terrorists.

Neither Salvini nor Abascal currently hold power in either of their respective countries, and the governments of both have indicated they intend to accept Afghan migrants.

Marine Le Pen, the head of France’s National Rally party, also has expressed deep concern that a new wave of migration into Europe could lead to an increased risk of terrorist attacks, saying: ‘There is no doubt that this situation will lead to an increased risk of attacks for our countries and the prospect of new waves of immigration.’

She also slammed Biden’s grossly incompetent actions in the Middle East. ‘The United States under Biden administration demonstrate their inability to defend Afghanistan and Europe,’ she added.

Le Pen is not yet in office, and while Macron has said that he is hesitant to accept ‘unlimited waves’ of migrants, there are signs his country will take the knee. The mayors of a number of large cities have also signalled they want to take in Afghan migrants. Their city elders receive huge grants depending on the numbers each accept.

During a meeting with representatives of the United Russia Party over the weekend, President Vladimir Putin noted that radical Islamist terrorists could easily take advantage of the flow of Afghan asylum seekers, stating that Russia ‘does not want these elements from Afghanistan or other countries.’

‘We don’t want militants under the disguise of refugees to appear here again,’ he continued. ‘We will do everything, in particular in contact with our Western partners, to ensure stability in Afghanistan as well. But we do not want us to at least somehow repeat the situation of the 1990s and early 2000s.’
