| Editorial Perspective
Due to lakhs of Muslim refugees and immigrants, the native people are apparently lacking the benefits of the resources in Europe. As a result, the locals have now had enough of it. This has led to an ultra nationalist and anti-immigrant person in the race to become Prime Minister in the Netherlands. There are ultra nationalist parties in power in Hungary, Sweden, Finland and Italy, and it shouldn’t be a surprise if it happens in Ireland too ! |
