Rising number of Europeans think there are limits to multiculturalism EUobserver March 16, 2005 EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS - Greeks, Estonians and Latvians are the most resistant to a multicultural society, while a growing number of EU citizens think that a multicultural society has reached its limits, according to a new survey. The survey, included in a report by the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia published on Tuesday (15 March), examined the attitudes towards minorities, asylum seekers and immigrants, as expressed across Europe in 2003. Almost 80 per cent of its respondents had no problem interacting with minorities, but almost half of them had a critical attitude towards cultural and religious diversity. Half of EU citizens revealed their negative attitude to immigrants - mainly in Greece, Hungary and Austria; and about a third of them said they were opposed to asylum seekers, with Belgium, the UK and Hungary on top of the list. While about 60 per cent of the "old" member states thought that multiculturalism had certain limits, this view was less explicit (42 per cent) in the ten countries that joined the EU in 2004. The support for repatriation policies for legal migrants has risen significantly since 1997, with the highest rate in Malta, East Germany, Greece and Latvia. The report suggested that richer countries showed more tolerance and respect to cultural and religious diversities. The opinions also differed at various societal levels - with young people and citizens with better income and education expressing more open and supportive attitudes towards ethnic, cultural and religious differences.

Maybe in these ' new' countries people have not had to deal with this issue so much yet as to see what it is really about. Also, interesting in considering this survey has been its treatment and representation in the meadia as if any of its findings were in any way surprising... Now only how to get people to not be afraid of voicing these opinions out loud and not only on a survey questionnaire... |

The same person declares himself a Libertarian having praise for the Classical Liberals. Needless to say he fails to notice that it is Liberalism, Classical or Modern, that is leading to the fall of Europe and the decline of Western Civilisation. You can check this movement's site at www.imperium-europa.org, who knows maybe he'll get some support from Europe as well. ![]() True Right-Wing and Nationalist politics is Anti-Liberal and upholds the Nation's core traditions. In Malta we fail to have such a movement, but hopefully not for long. I have recently started criticising this movement I mentioned and its leader in an attempt to not have the Right-Wing and Nationalist ideals discredited by such positions which cannot be taken seriously if serious people consider them. Yesterday, this "gwerra interna" (internal war) was publicised on a Socialist newspaper which was a promotion of this movement and individual and an attempt to discredit me. I cannot enter into dynamics of the article, but there is no sort of internal war in Malta as for it to be internal it should first be within the same movement, and for the reasons I specified above and others I cannot definitely be part of such a movement not even solely on the levels of ideas and ideology, let alone political affiliation. Unfortunately Malta is subject to an Illegal Immigrant invasion every summer that is pushing desperate people towards the mentioned movement as it is the only Anti-Immigrant voice in the island, for now that is. Anti-Immigration is not the core of Right-Wing and Nationalist thought, once Immigration stops and repatriation starts, and once Multiculturalism is over, the Nationalist starts his true battle, which is cultural and Patriotic. Soon we will have a true Nationalist and Right-Wing alternative in Malta.

i've told you once and i've told you a hundred times. if being a maltese nationalist entails spending the rest of my days praying for the souls of the departed and lighting candles at the graveyard, i refuse to be a "nationalist" and shall continue to support, in an active manner, the radical right.

So we are to wait for immigration to stop and multi-culti to be dead and gone for malta to have a "true Nationalist and Right-Wing alternative in Malta". Silly me! and there i was thinking it was the true nationalists who will try to stop immigration, and to stop the NGO's from brain-washing our kids with multi-culti nonsense. And you say it's the other way round. Excuse me but this is utter nonsense. You don't sit there and hope and pray. You do. You participate. You act. which brings me to a question: why did you not take part in that televised program last Tuesday? It had nothing to do with Imperium, or with Norman Lowell. You know very well that the e-mail inviting us to participate was sent to you, me, keith and another person. Norman was not invited to attend, yet you failed to turn up, or even excuse your absence with the presenter of the TV program. For the information of other readers, this program filmed on an EU funded trailer truck which was touring EU countries and dealt with discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, sexual orientation, age and disability. The main speakers were: 1 gay activist, 2 people with disabilities, 1 maltese married to a kuwaiti, 2 people from government ministries concerned with anti-discrimination at the workplace and everywhere else and 1 young man from vivamalta.org who they thought would be a sheep thrown in amongst the wolves. But he fought long and hard and we're way proud of him. He stood his ground and gave as good as he got! I was there in the audience, as were another 2 people from vivamalta.org. You on the other hand Ederico, were conspicuous by your absence - Mr. true right, nationalist, patriot! maybe you were waiting for the immigrants to subside, or for multiculturalism to die a natural death to turn up and give your input for Rightist activism in Malta. In the same manner that i would never leak that "internal war within the radical right in malta" to the press, i would also not have brought this up on Stirpes, but now you're pushing it Ederico, and you know it. First you literally "killed off" avemelita.com, but we refused to die and came back within 2 days with a brand new forum - and a good one even if i say so myself. Now you publicly, and on a different forum, continue to attack Norman Lowell, IE and his supporters. All unprovoked. What does this say about you Ederico? You have avemelita.com, we have vivamalta.org. We never waged war on you or yours so please stop tryng to wage war on us. It will only backfire. I am attaching a picture of Keith on the EU truck, speaking for Malta, speaking against immigration, speaking again multiculturalism - in public and on national TV. We were in the front row, and we also spoke from the audience. I ask you again Mr Patriot Malti, where were you? Last edited by Nerthus; Tuesday, June 28th, 2005 at 14:07. |

Right now I do not have the time, but if you would like me to start an ideological dissection of Imperium Europa from a Nationalist and Right-Wing perspective I would be tempted to do it. Quote:

I won't comment on other issues about Malta since I'm an outsider and therefore a complete stranger. But my impression of Imperium Europa is that it is not what one would expect from a true Nationalist party. For Christ's sake, it looks like a branch of Stormfront.. only perhaps more sectish. Where is the section for UFOs? ![]()

As to your other allegations regarding Norman Lowell, I have a copy of an interview you conducted only 6 months ago with same Mr Lowell. Would you like a copy to refresh your memory? And you say you wonder what made me change my mind? the mind continues to boggle where Ederico is concerned. Quote:

How can a forum be a "my forum"? a forum is made up of its members, and that is one concept that you could never understand - not even now, after all that's happened ..... you still fail to realise that without active members, a forum is as good as dead. Quote:

Was it not yourself who said the same thing on another thread, about people with fetishes for the past? why is this so different? Quote:
However one thing's for sure - if it weren't for Norman Lowell there would be no Right in Malta. So in the same manner that we respect the Enrico Mizzi's and the Carmelo Borg Pisani's, we have to give credit where it is due to Norman Lowell too. When you find the UFO's let me know ..... and please don't get back to me with - this is an imperium/dominium movement, so know your place as a woman and get back to the kitchen. I speak for and on behalf of vivamalta.org, not for imperium europa. |

Yes, etoile, I did speak against holding to fetishes of the past. And you are interpreting it the wrong way.
The Tradition is a source for Nationalism. It is timeless, not a fetish of the past. Antiquam exquirite matrem. Search in the ancient motherland.
