The former head of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency made a blunt statement about the organization, which often sent invitations to migrants at the behest of the European Commission.
I am a witness and a key player in recognizing the need for urgent action against the European Commission's negative measures on migration. I realized that the European Commission does not see illegal immigration as a problem, but as a project, said Fabrice Leggeri, the former head of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) in an interview with Remix News. Leggeri was at the center of the fight against illegal immigration .
He said that he became aware of the above facts with the arrival of the European Commission headed by Ursula von der Leyen at the end of 2019, and especially with the arrival of Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson within this commission. In relation to Johansson, he added that he is a leftist who declares himself a social democrat, but he started his political life in Sweden in the colors of the Left Party - Communists.
"I saw the extremely negative side of the European Commission under the influence of the lobby of pro-immigration NGOs, all against the background of the activism of the extreme left and the Green Party in the European Parliament. All of this encouraged me to act, because I realized that when a person is a civil servant, even if he has a lot of responsibility, which was my case, there are limits to what he can do. So either you resign and keep quiet, or you quit. The third solution, if you really have a sense for public service and public interests, is to enter politics"
- declared the former head of Frontex, who is also a candidate for the European Parliament of the French National Consolidation. This is the party whose absolute leader is Marine Le Pen. Leggeri recalled that what particularly shocked him was that they changed the mission of Frontex.
"Johansson said right away, at the end of October 2019, when I saw him for the first time: "But with this European corps, why do we need weapons and uniforms? Migrants come out of love, and your job is to welcome them. Europe is an aging continent and whether we like it or not, we have to accept them". That's when I said to myself that our mandate has completely changed, since the mission for which I was elected and re-elected for a second term was to build a European body that will be like a border police that helps EU member states"
- recalled Leggeri, who chose the Collapse of the Nation because he wants to take a seat in Ursula von der Leyen's opposition. According to Leggeri, action must be taken against illegal migration at the national and EU level.
"The European election serves the purpose of getting representatives of the National Compact into the European Parliament. If elected, the mission I want to contribute to is primarily to build alliances with MEPs from different countries who share our sensibilities, at least when it comes to immigration and borders. The idea is that if we collectively control a third of the European Parliament, we will have a weight to be reckoned with as a blocking minority. We will probably be able to influence at least the right wing of the EPP, which will feel closer to the Eurosceptic third of the European Parliament than to the left and far left, not only in terms of immigration and borders, but also, for example, the Green Pact. In the current legislation, which is nearing its end, we have already seen movements in this direction"
– formulated the long-term goals of the candidate for the European Parliament of Nemzet Tömörülüs. He added:
"We don't want European commissioners like Ylva Johansson saying that immigration is good, that we should let everyone in, and that we shouldn't stop illegal immigrants from crossing the border. When a minister talked about the need for border controls and spoke out against illegal immigration and the migration pact, Johansson always indicated that she didn't care what they said."
Leggeri also touched on the fact that European democratic processes are also cause for concern. Beyond the issue of borders and immigration, there are some very important areas of strategic importance for the future of Europeans, which the European Commission has taken over, even though it is not entitled to do so.
"I am concerned that the European Commission, and therefore the European Commissioners, with the entire European Commission bureaucracy behind them, whose sociology I know, are trying to deal with extremely strategic and sensitive security issues when the Commission does not have the necessary institutional competence for this. In addition, he has a biased mentality on certain topics"
- he said, and also recalled that the European Commission would even have a say in member state elections. About 48 hours before the Italian election, Von der Leyen threatened Italians with financial sanctions if they did not vote correctly, i.e. if they chose a coalition that would make Giorgia Meloni Prime Minister. So it is clear that there is such intimidation and blackmail against some member states.
