AT:More than 5,000 protesters demonstrated in Brussels Sunday, protesting the signing of the U.N. Migration Pact. The protest by mostly nationalist parties dwarfed a pro-treaty demonstration in the city center.
Belgian right-wing N-VA, which is the biggest party in parliament, pulled its ministers from the ruling coalition last week after Prime Minister Charles Michel refused its demand that he not sign the U.N. migration compact in Marrakesh.
Michel had secured a large parliamentary majority in favor of maintaining Belgium’s support of the U.N. text, with support from the opposition socialists and greens. Critics said the N-VA’s move was the opening shot in a campaign before federal elections in May.
The U.N. pact was agreed in July by all 193 U.N. members except the United States, but only 164 formally signed it at the meeting last Monday.
It has run into criticism from European politicians who say it could increase immigration to Europe as the bloc has turned increasingly restrictive on accepting refugees and migrants alike since a 2015 spike in arrivals.
Ten countries, mostly in formerly Communist Eastern Europe, have pulled out of the non-binding pact.
For the first time, the refugee issue has brought down a government. Could this be the tip of the iceberg?
If the E.U. continues to welcome agreements like the one signed in Marrakesh, the fall of Michel’s government may not be the last. The astonishing disconnect between left-wing European elites and ordinary people has never been more in evidence. In effect, the elites are flipping off the concerns of ordinary people, telling them to go hang. more
Theo Francken. He didn’t break it, but he stands for his country.

we hung the 37 yo son of god on a cross, payment is due
Luckily, all those Europeans have the right to keep and bear arms! What? Oh. Never mind.
last time couple of times Brussels was invaded, the US came to the rescue
..this time, maybe not … gird your loins Belgic, ’cause you are standing alone … the French, the Germans, the Swedes, the Norse & the Angles are capitulating without a fight
the US is busy fighting it’s own battle against the globalist Anti-Americans … we support you, but it may be a while before we can lend a hand … if at all
fight for your freedom … it is worth it
Compare Belgium, France and Europe to here. They knocked down their “wall” a few years back when they joined the EU and people could suffle from country to country without crossing through border stations, right? Thats when all the disgusting and vile islamists moved in by the millions.
Exactly like the liberals want here.
Like naming budget increases that are less than the spenders wanted “cuts,” these professional “betters” are not “elite.”
What should we call them?
“The Aristocrats”!
