Europe. Demography governs democracy

of Giulio Meotti
June 27 2022

There is a replacement of culture in Europe, and the media is not even covering it.

With Title Seven steps to hell (Seven Steps to Hell), the new book by Alain Chouet, once second in command of the DGSE, the powerful French counterintelligence agency, is an indictment of European elites. Chouet he remembers:

“I am invited every year to give a lecture on the problems of the Arab world in Molenbeek, a suburb of Brussels. One day I was there […] when Philippe Mourou, the socialist mayor of the city and big boss of the Belgian Socialist Party, sat in the front row flanked by two imposing bodyguards with kelebiyas, beards and white berets. In the audience, Mourou said that I was not qualified to discuss the Arab world, since I came from a country that had tortured Muslims in Algeria. This reasoning of his plays a special role in the way in which, since the late 1980s, the European Left has allowed itself to be taken over by the sirens of militant Salafism. Molenbeek's administration is exemplary in this regard: permits are granted easily and without any control for the opening and operation of mosques, Islamic private schools, cultural and sports clubs that are generously subsidized by Saudi Arabia."

25 from 89 members of the Brussels Regional Parliament are not of European origin.

Sue continues:

“I accuse political leaders of never wanting to understand the rise of radical Islam and of deliberately ignoring it for the sake of the electorate and ‘political correctness’. I accuse them of allowing many municipalities to develop jihadist radicalism for years, to the point where a socialist official told me: ‘We know the Molenbeek problem, but what do you want, it’s an electorate that cannot be ignored.’”

Now it's France's turn. "Is the Muslim vote decisive?" Algerian writer Kamel Daoul asked the French weekly magazine. The Point.

Emmanuel Macron’s re-election was a foregone conclusion. The real shock of the last French presidential election was the resounding explosion of the radical left. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the candidate of the pro-immigrant party “La France Insoumise” (Unsubmissive France), made a dramatic improvement over 2017. He received 22,2% of the vote, just one point behind Marine Le Pen. Notably, he received the 69% of Muslim votes.

"Melenchon", he said French philosopher Alain Finkelcrot in an interview on French television Europe 1, "is betting on the Great Replacement to gain more power." Finkelkrot had also mentioned the "Great Replacement" in January, when he said that the replacement of Europeans by Africans, Asians and people from the Middle East was "obvious".

"This is actually a fragmentation and, yes, this risk exists, and in any case I think that the demographic change of Europe is extremely spectacular. The old residents in some municipalities and regions are slowly becoming a minority."

The suburbs and France's large cities with a high rate of immigration were the heart of Mélenchon's political project, from where he received 60% of the vote in the election. [1]

What do these numbers tell us? That many are following the fashion of political Islam, and the sense of communal solidarity has yielded the desired results. Mélenchon, who participated in "marches against Islamophobia" and compare Muslims in 2022 with Jews in 1942, predicted the "creolism" of France: "By 2050, 50 percent of the French population will be mixed."

"I am the only one who defended Muslims," he argues Mélenchon openly. His success was predicted in working-class neighborhoods, especially thanks to the Muslim vote, according to the Le Figaro.

Although other candidates also had support the claims of political Islam, the Brice Tendurier (Ipsos) warned: “There is one category in which Jean-Luc Mélenchon is very strong, where he is the strongest.” “It is French Muslims, among whom he is between 45% and 49% […].”

In short, a new national dynamic has begun to emerge: demography rules democracy. The common thread between supporters of these candidates and supporters of Islam seems to be an aversion to Western societies, which, using progressive language and symbols of “vigilance,” they apparently want to displace—ostensibly to impose a more “inclusive” and “cosmopolitan” society that will be strict, restrictive, and fundamentalist.

When the city of Grenoble, for example, recently approved the use of burkinis in its public swimming pools, the mayor justified change as a form of social inclusion. "The mayor of Grenoble", He wrote Celine Pina in Le Figaro, "adopts the arguments and rhetorical formulas of the Muslim Brotherhood: we talk about freedom to impose sexism."

This vigilante debate pretends to be “inclusive,” but it carefully excludes entire groups of citizens on the clearly racist basis that it concerns skin color (whites) or the ethnicity (Jews). Wokeism, filled with progressive, racist rhetoric, pretends not to be a racist movement, but meanwhile is steeped in the sugar-coated racist ideology of “diversity”—which advocates the replacement of one society by another. immigrationIt also promotes political correctness, a deadly virus that paralyzes the vital reflexes of the West. Wokeism is the ideal ground for the debut of political Islam in Europe.

France Strategy, an autonomous foundation accountable to the Prime Minister, published a shocking study last October, which showed that there are 25 cities in France where the percentage of non-European young people ranges between 70% and 79%. More than 70% reside in four cities in Saint-Denis.[2]

"There is an extraordinary correlation between the vote for Mélenchon and the share of immigrants of non-European origin in the Paris region," He wrote analyst Sylvain Catherine.

In Montpellier, "there are more practicing Muslims than Christians, and while the churches are not crowded, the mosques are full," the newspaper reported. Midi LibreThere, Mélenchon found a huge pool of votes. In Creteig, for example, a symbolic immigrant town in the Marne-Valais region, Mélenchon received 40%.

Erwan Seznec, author of the book Our elected officials and Islam (Our chosen ones and Islam), explained how so many in the French leadership have allowed Islamism to flourish in these cities. From Denné to Perpignan, a large number of elected officials have ambivalent relationships with their Muslim constituents. In exchange for votes, they look after their homes, businesses and prayer rooms. Islamist activists, in turn, struggle to look after their political supporters. Bernard Rouzier, author of the book The conquered territories of Islamism, (The lands conquered by Islamism) warned two years ago: “In the next elections, in Mélenchon’s party, there will be candidates of this Islamic fabric […].”

Mélenchon received 61% of the vote in centers such as the community Trap, symbol of the Islamization of provincial cities:

"70 percent Muslim, 40-50 different nationalities that take on the appearance of certain regions of Lebanon, microcosms trapped on the perimeter of another religious reality and culture. The ethnic grid of the Balkans is also not far behind."

In Roubaix, in a city that already has 40% Muslims, Mélenchon received 50% of the vote. In Milhauz, the Alsatian town chosen by Macron to begin a project to curb political Islam, Mélenchon won 36% of the vote. In Nimes, where Mélenchon won comfortably, non-European immigration is expanding and, according to the Le Monde, "the percentage of residents born outside Europe increased from 7,3% to 16,3% of the population between 1990 and 2017."

In the second round of the election, most of Mélenchon's voters chose Macron. During Ramadan, the Grand Mosque of Paris organized an iftar dinner for Macron's re-election. The Christophe Castaner, Macron's former interior minister and chairman of his party, attended. The votes in favor of Macron were overwhelming. The community Trap voted 74% in favor of Macron, 20 points above the national average. The Roubaix 70%, the Green 70%, the La Courneuve 77%, the Bodhi 74%, Columbus 80%, Le Lila 83,5%, the Bodini 75,5% […]. These are the symbolic cities of Saint-Denis.

In the northern districts of Marseille, who had largely voted for Mélenchon in the first round, Macron won easily. These are the neighborhoods that they host a large part of the Islamic community—30% of the city's total population and one quarter of all the city's residents. The Le Figaro wrote: “The northern districts of Marseille are a ‘small city’ where communalism is an everyday reality […].”

The same dynamic is observed in Germany. Research The MedienDienst Integration noted that 83 members of the newly elected German Bundestag — 11,3% of the total — are of foreign origin. The percentage of German members of parliament with foreign origin has increased for the third time in a row since the national elections of 2013 (by 5,9%) and 2017 (by 8%). 18 new MPs is of Turkish origin and 24 have Balkan roots […]. The number of Social Democratic MPs (the winners of last September’s elections) with an immigrant background rose from 10% to 17% in an election contest.

This ever-increasing proportion of Turkish, Bosnian, Kosovar, Iranian and Iraqi politicians will increasingly influence the choices of the leading European power on issues of immigration and multiculturalism. The left-wing party Die Linke has the highest proportion of MPs with an immigrant background: 28,2%. And tomorrow? Herbert Brücker, head of immigrant research at the Federal Institute for Employment Research, told the German newspaper The World:

“Right now a quarter of people in Germany have a migrant background. In 20 years, it will reach at least 35 percent, but it could also exceed 40 percent […]. What we see in the big cities today will be normal for the entire country in the future. In a city like Frankfurt, we will have between 65 percent and 70 percent.”

"The result of the presidential election reveals that Mélenchon's strategy targeting the Muslim community has borne fruit," write down anthropologist Florence Bergeau-Blackler. But with what consequences in the future?

“The massive vote for Mélenchon is proof that the strategy of victimization of the community that began in the 1990s produced what it was intended to produce in a generation or two. Mélenchon gathered a large part of the Muslim vote, which obviously does not make it a Muslim or Islamist party, but only a “cuckoo” party. Like a cuckoo that hatches its eggs in the nest of a bird of another species, a “cuckoo” party guards and protects ideas that are not its own. The Muslim Brotherhood has a strategy that it has expressed in its plans since the 1980s: to form an alliance with the most docile parties to spread its ideas.”

What will happen in France in five years with the demographics being reversed? Will there be a scenario like in the novel? Submission (Subordination) of Michel Houellebecq, with a "moderate" Muslim Brotherhood member elected president? Or with those with similar policies leading the way thanks to their agreement with Muslim communities?

"Today", ponders philosopher Alain Finkelcroft, “there are 145 mosques in Saint-Denis compared to 117 churches.” The former are overcrowded, the latter half-empty.

The future is already here.

[1] In fact, Mélenchon received 61,13% of the vote in Saint-Denis, 17 points more than in 2017. In Montreuil, Mélenchon received 55,35%. In Bobigny, 60% of the vote. In Saint-Denis, Mélenchon reached 49,09%—a dramatic increase compared to 2017, when he won only 34,02%. In Arzadelle, the third largest city in Île-de-France, he came in first with 49,89%. In the entire Ile-de-France, the largest French department that also includes Paris, Mélenchon defeated Macron by a large margin.

In Islamized Saint-Denis, Mélenchon won by a landslide. 37 out of 40 cities. Mélenchon won in Marseille (31%), Le Havre (30%), Lille (40%), Lyon (31%), Montpellier (40%), Saint-Etienne (33%), Toulouse (36%), Strasbourg (35%), Rennes (36%) and Nantes (33%). In Marseille and Lyon (France's second and third largest cities), Muslims already make up 30% of the population and a quarter of public school students in Strasbourg are Islamists. In Milhaud, the Muslim community is already 25% of the population. In Paris, Mélenchon came in second with 29% of the vote. In Aubervilliers there was a referendum. "Here the municipality is working with the Muslims to build a large mosque," he was saying the sign placed on a piece of land on rue Saint-Denis in Aubervilliers. The Islamic clientele is evident in “9-3”, the French apartment where the 30% of the population are now Muslims.
