With His Wife Indicted for Corruption, Spanish Socialist PM Sánchez Is Considering Resigning

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez writes a ‘Letter to the citizenry’, and announces that he is ‘suspending all his public duties to stop and reflect on the future and decide whether he wants to continue to be at the forefront of politics’.

Sánchez ‘won’ the last election in an illegitimate way, after breaking a solemn campaign promise and establishing an artificial majority by enacting an amnesty to the Catalan Separatists.

Now, as his wife is under investigation for influence peddling and corruption, Sánchez is indignant, threatening to resign his premiership because of what he calls political persecution.

Sanchez wrote on X:

“It is not usual for me to address you through a letter. However, the severity of the attacks that my wife and I are receiving, and the need to give a calm response, make me think that this is the best way to express my opinion. I thank you, therefore, for taking a little of your time to read these lines.

As you may already know, and if I do not inform you, a court in Madrid has opened preliminary proceedings against my wife, Begoña Gómez, at the request of a far-right organization called Clean Hands, to investigate alleged crimes of influence peddling and corruption in business.”

The judge in the case will call journalists that that have been covering the case to testify.

Sánchez said that his wife ‘will defend her honorability and will collaborate with Justice in everything required to clarify facts’ that he says ‘are as scandalous in appearance as they are non-existent’.

The case was initiated by Sánchez’ political rival Alberto Núñez Feijóo, Spanish People’s Party President, conservative member of the Congress of Deputies.

Feijóo reported the case to the Conflict of Interest Office, asking for the Prime Minister to be disqualified from holding public office.

Sánchez continues: “Next, they exploited their conservative majority in the Senate, promoting an investigative commission to, as they say, clarify the facts related to this matter. Logically, the case was missing. It is the step they have just taken.

In short, it is an operation of harassment and demolition by land, sea and air, to try to make me weaken politically and personally by attacking my wife.”

The ‘attacks’ are against what he represents: ‘a progressive political option, supported election after election by millions of Spaniards, based on economic progress, social justice and democratic regeneration.’

“Democracy spoke, but the right and the extreme right, again, did not accept the electoral result. They were aware that the political attack would not be enough and now they have crossed the line of respect for the family life of a President of the Government and the attack on his personal life.”

After a lot of complaining and painting his opponents in the worst colors, Sánchez gets to the point:

“At this point, the question I legitimately ask myself is, is all this worth it? Sincerely I dont know. This attack is unprecedented, it is so serious and so gross that I need to stop and reflect with my wife.

[…] I need to stop and reflect. I urgently need to answer the question of whether it is worth it. […] Whether I should continue at the head of the Government or resign from this high honor.”  

Russia-ChinaGate: The EU Left’s Strategy to Discredit the Right

The recent revelations linking one of Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) MEP Maximilian Krah’s  assistants to Chinese intelligence provided a perfect opportunity for the left wing in Brussels to amplify their ongoing smear campaign against all conservative lawmakers in the European Parliament—despite the embarrassing lack of credible evidence against anybody else.

“The AfD is once again showing its true, unpatriotic face. Anyone who votes AfD in the European elections is voting for more influence from Russia and China,” German MEP Daniel Caspary of the centre-right European People’s Party (EPP) said on Monday. Politico—“the always faithful servant of the Brussels bureaucracy,” as our senior columnist Mick Hume put it while talking at NatCon—smugly described Germany’s second most popular party as the “Alternative for Dictators.”

It’s easy to get caught up in the web of intentionally vague accusations, half-truths, and irrelevant details, so if we want to understand how we ended up here, we first need to understand there’s not one, but two stories here, related to each other—but not necessarily in the way that the political and media mainstream would have you believe.

Two stories, one narrative

In late March, Czech authorities shut down the news site Voice of Europe (VoE) after an investigation conducted by the country’s national security services claimed that the publication was at the the center of a Russian interference network that allegedly paid European lawmakers from several countries for interviews in which they promoted Kremlin talking points. 

According to the Czech daily Denik N, the authorities identified politicians from six EU member states (Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Hungary, and Poland) who have allegedly accepted cash from VoE. Curiously, only one name became public—AfD’s Petr Bystron’s. 

The report claimed that the authorities are in possession of a voice recording implicating Bystron, but the tape has still not been released despite the entire AfD demanding the Czechs make it public. No prosecution has been launched against anyone to date.

In a statement on their Telegram channel on April 1st, Voice of Europe struck back at the accusations, saying:

The fact that the architects of this hoax have not provided any concrete evidence to support their claims leads us to believe that they simply wanted to silence a news platform that is critical of their viewpoints and their globalist agenda, and which is furthermore open to alternative opinions and perspectives.

Through its authoritarian actions, the Fiala administration has stripped us of the right to a fair trial and set a dangerous precedent in government and media relations within the European Union.

The news outlet also reminded readers of “the 2016 Russiagate hoax perpetrated against U.S. President Trump by globalist politicians in cahoots with America’s politicized intelligence agencies, the latter of which are increasingly being weaponized against Christians, conservatives, and other dissident Americans.”

Weeks have passed, but neither Prague nor Brussels has produced any evidence against Bystron—or anybody else. Nonetheless, a relentless smear campaign began in and outside of the halls of the European institutions against everyone associated with national conservative parties, and the Parliament began drafting a resolution to condemn the alleged Russian interference, set to be approved on Thursday, April 25th.

To be clear, we do not yet know the truth behind the vague allegations against Voice of Europe,  because whatever evidence the Czech authorities have is still classified. But lack of evidence has not prevented the left using the alleged scandal as a stick to beat the right across Europe. Conservative MEPs are being collectively demonized in Brussels with the sole purpose of undermining their credibility close to the EU elections.

Enter Maximilian Krah, a German MEP from AfD, and incidentally number one on the party’s European Parliament electoral list. On Monday, a Chinese-born assistant of Krah’s, one Jian Guo, was arrested on espionage charges. According to German federal authorities, Guo was a Chinese intelligence asset reporting to Beijing about the Parliament’s most anti-CCP members. 

Krah denies having any involvement in, or knowledge of, Guo’s CCP connections. But in any case, the AfD should have seen this coming months ago. The European Conservative was the first to break the story about Guo possibly being on the CCP payroll back in April 2023, so the party had ample time to prepare.

Predictably, the Left is now conflating the two AfD-related cases: the vague ‘RussiaGate’ scandal allegedly involving the Voice of Europe and Petr Bystron, and the police investigation into a CCP spy network involving Krah’s aide Guo. Lacking evidence to support the former, Brussels relies on the latter to retroactively connect the two and somehow ‘prove’ that all European conservatives are Chinese and Russian assets.

The reason is simple: right-wing populist and national conservative parties, among them the AfD, are predicted to significantly increase their presence in the European Parliament after the June EU elections, which is reportedly the biggest concern of the current left-wing majority in Brussels. The Guo arrest is the perfect opportunity to try to discredit not only the AfD but the entire populist Right, amplified by Voice of Europe’s alleged Russia scandal, regardless of whether it is true or not.

The current focus on this Russia-Chinagate double scandal also provides the left with a timely answer to the Qatar- and Pfizergate scandals. The biggest conflict of interest, interference, and corruption scandals of the past five years are all linked to the leftist and mainstream political forces in the parliament and the European Commission. Yet these scandals, many of which have not been sufficiently addressed, are left to linger in the Brussels air until after the elections, while the latest scandals, real or imagined, involving the right are blown up into big campaign issues.

Of course, there is Russian and Chinese interference in Europe (as well as American for that matter) because that’s how great powers operate. Any elected members of the European Parliament who are found guilty will deserve every condemnation. But the point is that there are facts and there are political narratives—and the relationship between the two is seldom as direct as we are led to believe.

Germany: Several injured after migrant gang trespassed on school grounds to attack student in mass brawl

A 17-year-old student and a teacher were so badly injured in a mass brawl in front of the Schmellwitz secondary school in the north of Cottbus on Monday that they had to be taken to hospital.

The teacher had tried to break up a dispute after several individuals, believed to be of a migration background and not students at the school, attacked a student.

Another person was also injured but was able to walk again after brief treatment on-site.

A video obtained by Junge Freiheit shows the outbreak of violence.

According to the police, four men, who are not students at the school themselves, came into the schoolyard at around 11:30 a.m. on Monday. There, a verbal argument initially developed with the 17-year-old, and the brawl then moved outside the school grounds.

The police said that the four suspects and the victim were German, Syrian, and Libyan nationals. In the meantime, four youths from the aggressive group, which had grown to around 30 people after a short time, had been arrested. After their personal details were recorded, they were handed back to their parents or guardians.

Not the first case at the Cottbus secondary school

The officers were unable to provide any information on the motive of the attackers. According to the current state of the investigation, however, the judiciary assumes that the attackers and the victim must have known each other beforehand because the 17-year-old was specifically approached by the group. The police estimated the main group of attackers comprised between five and seven people, while others were merely onlookers.

Incidents of this kind are increasingly more common at the Schmellwitz secondary school. According to the authorities, there were 62 reports there in 2023, most of which were due to acts of violence. The school has almost 300 students, more than 22 percent of whom are foreigners and more than a third have a migrant background.

CANADA: 14-Year-Old “Trans Kid” Performing For Tips At LGBT Bars In Vancouver

A 14-year-old girl who identifies as a “drag king” and is being transitioned to a “boy” has reportedly been performing sexually suggestive shows at LGBT clubs and bars across Vancouver, Canada. The minor, who is disabled and autistic, goes by “he/him/they/it” pronouns and is taking testosterone under the permission of her mother.

The child, who was born female but identifies as a “boy,” uses the stage name “Nova Tropica” and has performed in at least three LGBT bars in Vancouver, all of which are adult venues that serve alcohol. Among the clubs Nova has danced at are The Fountainhead Pub, Steamworks brewpub, and The Junction.

According to Gays Against Groomers, during her performance at The Foundationhead Pub, a gay bar located on Davie Street, the child danced with only tape covering the front of her breasts.

The child as seen in an uncensored video posted to Instagram.

Nova maintains a YouTube channel where she often uploads footage of her performances.

In August of 2023, she shared a video of her dancing on stage in a bar to the song “Bubblegum B*tch” and is seen collecting dollar bills from audience members. In another video, Nova is seen dancing alone to the Britney Spears’ controversial song “If U Seek Amy,” which is intended to sound out the letters “F-U-C-K me.”

In some of the videos posted to her YouTube account, she is seen dancing to an adult crowd wearing only a cut-out bathing suit, an outfit she has also posed in for photos shared to her social media while wearing clear, stiletto “pleasers,” a form of platform high-heel most frequently associated with stripping, pole dancing, and the sex trade.

As well as posting footage of her performances to YouTube, Nova also maintains an Instagram page where she posts clips of herself dancing on stage while exclusively adult crowds cheer her on. In many of the videos, Nova is wearing revealing clothing and, during one performance, she even spreads her legs for the audience.

On her Instagram, which was made private shortly after her activities were first exposed by Gays Against Groomers, Nova also frequently posted about her mental health struggles, though continuously insisted her “neurodivergence” was unrelated to her desire to transition.

“The only way they could even correlate is through the way I view my gender,” Nova said in the caption of one post where she described herself as a “demon boy” and said she’s “everything Lucifer wants her to be.”

In another post, in which she wears a cut-out swimsuit she has performed in, Nova said she “loves” how testosterone is starting to affect her muscle definition.

Nova’s transition has been supported by her mother Chrysta. On her own Instagram page, Chrysta posted about how she had been struggling to access hormones for her daughter since she was just 11 years old.

In the post, Chrysta acknowledges that Nova is experiencing poor mental health, but attributes her condition to “being born in the wrong body.” She also condemns the Canadian political parties attempting to pass legislation which would protect children from medical transitioning.

“I will not allow any government to MURDER my child,” Chrysta said in one post. “Forcing a child to live in a body that is not authentic to their person is MURDER.”

The post was made in reference to the People’s Party of Canada, which developed a 7-point plan to protect women and children from the harmful effects of gender ideology, such as banning men from women’s spaces and sports and banning genital mutilation surgeries and cross-sex hormones for minors.

Not only has Chrysta facilitated Nova’s transition, but she also confesses to monitoring her social media, meaning she is aware of the inappropriate videos and photos being posted online of her minor daughter.

In one post, she addressed rumors that an adult Drag King had behaved inappropriately in messages with her young daughter, claiming the concerns were “false accusations.”

But her notice was not the only suggestion that Nova has been in contact with adult drag performers.

On Instagram, Nova spoke about attending a youth summer “drag camp” hosted by “Rose Butch” and “DeeDee LaCraze.”

DeeDee LaCraze also operates a YouTube channel called “Drag4Kids” where he has made multiple videos in full drag singing nursery rhymes. LaCraze hosts his youth drag camp along side Rose Butch, a trans identified female who calls herself a “non-binary drag thing.”

The summer camp, held in July 2023, was made available for children as young as 7.

There has been an uptick in the number of children performing drag, often in bars and clubs, in recent years. Last April, a video went viral showing a young “drag queen” dancing at a party sponsored by a gay hookup app.

Arguably one of the most well-known “drag kids” is Desmond Napoles, who goes by the name “Desmond is Amazing.” Desmond rose to fame at only 11 years old in 2017 after being featured on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Soon after, the child appeared in YouTube and Facebook streams alongside adult men, and was even filmed joking about snorting ketamine.

With the increase in “drag kids” has come further scrutiny of the sexual predators involved in the drag scene. In 2022, a “drag kid” mentor and a former elementary school teaching assistant faced child pornography charges following an investigation into exploitative material shared on the internet.

Paris 2024 Olympic Games: 16-year-old minor who was plotting a terrorist attack in La Défense arrested in Haute-Savoie

A 16-year-old minor who posted on a Telegram channel that he wanted to obtain the necessary elements to make an explosive belt in order to die as a martyr in the name of the Islamic caliphate was arrested on Tuesday April 23 at his parents’ home in Marignier (Haute-Savoie), according to our information.
He is a French citizen and is being monitored due to his radicalisation. During the house search, his mobile phone, handwritten documents, including a pledge of allegiance to the Islamic State, and drawings of Daesh, Hamas and Hezbollah flags were found, a police source told Valeurs actuelles.
During his interrogation, the teenager, who was taken into police custody by the DGSI, admitted that he had sworn allegiance to the Islamic State and had planned to commit a terrorist suicide attack with an AK-47 rifle (Kalashnikov) or an explosive belt during the Olympic Games in Paris this summer in La Défense.
Following a tip-off about the suspect’s statements, the local public prosecutor’s office referred the matter to the Department of Organised and Specialised Crime (DCOS). In the meantime, the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT) has taken over the further investigation.

Left NGOs Accuse Former EU Border Chief of Crimes Against Humanity

https://www.fdesouche.com/

Two NGOs have filed a complaint of “complicity in crimes against humanity” against the EU’s former head of border management, Fabrice Leggeri, just weeks before he is expected to be elected as an MEP for the national conservative Rassemblement National (RN).

His alleged crime? Trying to prevent illegal immigrants entering the EU. Which many might think sounds like doing his job as head of Frontex, the EU border management agency.

The NGOs filed the civil complaint against Leggeri in Paris on Monday, alleging that he engaged in human rights abuses by obstructing open border groups operating on the Mediterranean and enabling so-called ‘pushback’ operations against illegal migrants during his tenure leading Frontex between 2015 and 2022. 

The claims centre around Frontex’s cooperation with the Libyan coastguard when Leggeri was at the helm. NGOs allege that returning the migrants to Libya made Leggeri and the organisation potentially complicit in “crimes against humanity”.

Leggeri has dismissed the allegations as “political manoeuvres to discredit me and discredit the RN list during the European elections.” 

“When I was director of Frontex from 2015 to 2022, the European agency saved more than 350,000 migrants at sea in accordance with [the] international law of the sea,” he added.

Leggeri garnered headlines in February after the RN announced he would be their number three candidate for the EU elections. He said that Eurocrats “do not consider [migration] as a problem, but rather as a project: I can testify to this.”

The civil case against Leggeri has been lodged by the left-wing NGOs Ligue des Droits de l’Homme (LDH) and Utopia 56, both noted for their state and even corporate funding in the French press. Known for its work establishing refugee camps around France, most notably in Calais, Utopia 56 has previously used lawfare to frustrate authorities. The open border group on Tuesday released a statement accusing Legerri of having links to the use of torture by Libyan and Greek officials.

Leggeri went on the offensive on social media, saying that “defamation complaints are already being prepared against several members of LFI [the far left party La France Insoumise] who have publicly made this kind of totally unfounded accusations.” The politician is expected to be an influential figure within the Brussels Right after June alongside RN’s president Jordan Bardella, who heads the party’s list.

Leggeri has the strong backing of his party colleagues. RN MEP Patricia Chagnon-Clevers defended the former Frontex boss at the EU Parliament’s Home Affairs Committee, specifically pointing out the tendency of “representatives of the ‘camp of good’ to judge people guilty without even hearing them.”

Migration is expected to be a leading issue in June’s European elections, with EU attempts to mediate the flow of illegals into Europe with the Migration Pact branded by many populists as a cynical electoral plot to reassure voters.

Austria: Albanian migrant stabs ex-girlfriend 42 times with knife after she breaks up with him

The case is being heard at the Regional Criminal Court in Vienna. Wikimedia Commons , Dnalor 01, CC-BY-SA-3.0-AT

An Albanian migrant in Vienna who stabbed his ex-girlfriend 42 times with a knife until the blade fell off is standing trial for attempted murder.

The 40-year-old defendant, who has not been named by the Exxpress newspaper, waited in a park in front of his victim’s home in Vienna-Liesing on Oct. 27 last year as he prepared to follow up threats made the day before during which he told her she would not see her next birthday.

“You won’t live to see your birthday on Nov. 5! Your brother will put flowers on your grave,” the public prosecutor told the court as they recounted the defendant’s warning to his 40-year-old victim.

The Vienna regional court on Tuesday heard how the woman was attacked from behind in the courtyard outside her home where she was stabbed 12 times in the neck, face, and back with a knife.

The attack was committed with such force that the blade broke off, prompting the Albanian national to grab a screwdriver and use it to stab her 30 more times.

Despite the brutality of the attack, the woman managed to fight back and free herself. However, her attacker caught up with her as she ran and inflicted further blows on a nearby sidewalk.

Passers-by who saw the attack ran over to the woman causing her attacker to flee.

Emergency responders arrived on the scene, and police officers arrested the suspect near to the crime scene.

The victim was hospitalized for two days before being allowed to return home with significant injuries.

In a victim impact statement, the woman explained how the man “didn’t stop” and that she still has recurring nightmares following the attack. She also rarely leaves her apartment alone.

The court heard how the pair had met on Facebook back in 2021 and that the Albanian migrant was already married. They began an affair and the victim was assured multiple times by her boyfriend that he would leave his wife, but after growing tired of broken promises to do so, she ended the relationship.

The court heard how the defendant couldn’t accept the relationship ending and sought revenge. However, he insisted the victim had become jealous and threatened to tell his wife about the affair.

“She wanted to destroy my family,” he told the court.

When questioned about the attack, the defendant denied the charge of attempted murder, insisting he “never intended to kill her” and just wanted to “hurt her a little bit.”

“I aimed at her arms so that I didn’t hit any organs,” he said, while his defense attorney claimed he had only “wanted to teach her a lesson.”

The court is awaiting the verdict.

Germany: University students are forced to shout antifa slogans in lectures

Wikimedia Commons , Mönch K36, CC-BY-SA-4.0

During a politics lecture at Kassel University, lecturer Oliver Pye had students chant an antifa slogan three times in succession. He asked the 200 or so students to join him in shouting “Alerta, alerta, antifascista!”. Each time the shout became louder and louder in the lecture theatre, as a video shows according to a media report.

According to a student quoted by the newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau, Pye then said that Nazis and all those on the right should leave the room. There was loud applause in return. The incident had already taken place a week ago, but had only now become public knowledge.
The Association of Christian Democratic Students (RCDS) accused Pye in a press release of having “potentially violated the principles of academic neutrality and freedom”. He categorised conservative opinions as right-wing. In addition, the “violent Antifa was glorified”. The RCDS has now called in the university’s legal supervisory authority.

Pye has taken on a deputy professorship at the University of Kassel. He justified shouting the slogan to the newspaper Hessisch-Niedersächsische Allgemeine with the “resurgence of fascism in Europe”.

The university management criticised Pye’s behaviour. A spokesperson said on enquiry that repeating slogans was considered problematic: “The President made this clear in a personal conversation.” There are no further consequences.
