Merkel’s invitation to Muslims to come to Europe without limitation has literally destroyed the very fabric of Europe. Now, Austria’s Freedom Party, which is an anti-Europe and anti-immigration far-right political party, won more than a third of the vote in the presidential election on Sunday. There should be no surprise. Norbert Hofer will now face an independent in next month’s run-off. We are witnessing the collapse of Austria’s two-party system since neither will make the cut for the first time. The national election is turning very anti-immigration after a campaign that focused on the impact of the crisis which has been created ever since the arrival of approximately 100,000 asylum seekers poured into the country beginning last summer.

Norbert Hofer ran on an anti-immigrant and anti-Europe platform winning 36.4% of the vote to become head of state. He will face Alexander Van der Bellen, a former Green party figurehead, who won 20.4%, according to official preliminary results. While the opposite attempts to paint these rising people as racists even in Britain, the reality of this nonsense is that the security of Europe can no longer be assured. This simple act is tearing politics apart at the seams. People are calling this racist when in fact it has nothing to do with racism. The immigrants are both black and white. There is no possible way to claim this is a racist issue.
