Thousands march in Brussels against U.N. migration pact

Thousands of people marched in Brussels on Sunday against a U.N. pact aimed at fostering cooperation on migration, eclipsing a smaller demonstration in support of the deal, the signing of which brought down Belgium’s government last week.

Police said some 5,500 people marched in the bigger protest, organized by Flemish right wing parties in the part of the capital where main European Union institutions are located.

A separate counter-demonstration of around 1,000 people, organized by left-wing groups and non-governmental organizations, took place 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.

The UN is pushing a 'free flow' of migrants and refugees.

Any opposition is seen as 'right-wing extremism':

UN Global compact for migration

The global compact for migration is the first, intergovernmentally negotiated agreement, prepared under the auspices of the United Nations, to cover all dimensions of international migration in a holistic and comprehensive manner.

Today, there are over 258 million migrants around the world living outside their country of birth. This figure is expected to grow for a number of reasons including population growth, increasing connectivity, trade, rising inequality, demographic imbalances and climate change. Migration provides immense opportunity and benefits – for the migrants, host communities and communities of origin. However, when poorly regulated it can create significant challenges. These challenges include overwhelming social infrastructures with the unexpected arrival of large numbers of people and the deaths of migrants undertaking dangerous journeys.

The global compact comprises 23 objectives for better managing migration at local, national, regional and global levels. The compact:

- aims to mitigate the adverse drivers and structural factors that hinder people from building and maintaining sustainable livelihoods in their countries of origin;

- intends to reduce the risks and vulnerabilities migrants face at different stages of migration by respecting, protecting and fulfilling their human rights and providing them with care and assistance;

- seeks to address the legitimate concerns of states and communities, while recognizing that societies are undergoing demographic, economic, social and environmental changes at different scales that may have implications for and result from migration;

- strives to create conducive conditions that enable all migrants to enrich our societies through their human, economic and social capacities, and thus facilitate their contributions to sustainable development at the local, national, regional and global levels.

I’d like to see a new UN immigration pact that mandates that freeloading fleabags not drag their 7 year old daughters to the U.S. and killing them just to “win” American citizenship and hit a good lawsuit lottery payday

“Migration” now means an invasion in slow-motion.

The globalists must dilute or eliminate the native Western populations with easily-manipulated, low-IQ savages in order to achieve their dreams of a Prison Planet.

Any person wanting this foreign garbage on their doorstep or in their neighborhood needs to get their head examined.

The globalists have a real dilemma. The more "right-wingers" they throw out of work, the more time they will have on their hands for demonstrations like this . . . or the yellow vest protests in Paris.

Meanwhile, Somalia has a population density of less than Colorado and could be home to nearly 50 million more refugees if it only uped its density to that of California.

The average citizen doesn't want mass 'migration'. This is being forced on them by UN globalists and complicit traitorous leaders.

Yes, and how about a DNA test to see if he is actually her father?

How many in Europe wish they could return to the days when the migration fears were about the how the riffraff from southern Europe and the slackers from East Germany were going to ruin the place.

"Thousands of people marched in Brussels on Sunday against a U.N. pact aimed at fostering cooperation on migration...."

----------

"Fostering Cooperation?"

Lead sentence tips the hand of the Libtards at Reuters with their globalist, immigrant loving leadership. The UN Migration Pact is nothing but surrender to the third world alien invaders to come and plunder the advanced world nations. There is good reason why the USA, Australia, Switzerland, Israel, Italy, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary , Bulgaria and Slovakia won't sign it: it is a death wish for freedom loving people who wish to control their own borders.

I don't trust anything coming out of AP, Reuters or AFP. They are all in bed with the globalists. They weave a bit of truth and reporting amid their one world, globalist propaganda. We might just as well get our news from a George Soros NGO. Never trust these people!!

The immensely opposed and disastrous document declares unlimited migration to be treated as a human right, thereby deprecating the term ‘illegal migrants’, and criminalises any criticism of migration as hate speech.

The immigration pact is a form of genocide against the native peoples who are and will be taxed so hard that they can not and will not be able to produce new generations. instead their rulers will take their money and subsidize non-assimilating replacement populations who will be paid to reproduce on a piece work basis.

Here is a radical concept. Instead of promoting migration of people, why dont you start promoting the migration of ideas. Take for example, good ideas. A good idea would be helping to supply reliable power to remote villages. That way these people cold also stay in their homeland.

Tens of thousands of citizens are hitting the streets in France and Belgium to protest government policies to which they are opposed, yet here while Democratic Party leftists are giving aid and support to invaders at our southern border, the silent majority sits and does nothing but criticize the President for not getting a wall built.
