Patriots against political violence

We, the Patriots for Europe, are shocked to observe the latest manifestations of political violence in Europe and America. We strongly condemn all forms of violence in political life.

We want to make sure that the assassination attempts against US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico do not remain without consequences.

We consider the complicit silence of left-wing political forces and the legitimization of violent acts against patriotic politicians to be unacceptable. We demand respect for political adversaries in the left’s discourse and expect a fair and balanced treatment from the media.

We firmly reject the mainstream's practice of labeling all political rivals as far-right and threatening them with a cordon sanitaire. This violates the most basic rules of democracy and the rule of law.

We strongly condemn all forms of violence against political actors and call on the left-wing, globalist parties to respect the political choice and opinion of all voters and stop demonizing parties and politicians who do not sign up to the narratives of the mainstream. Their intolerance lays the ground for politically motivated violence and threatens our democratic institutions.
