Mass immigration to Europe is an agenda that is organized as, “a consciously controlled ethnic and cultural transformation,” warned Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) leader Herbert Kickl during a speech at CPAC Hungary.
“What is happening in Europe is no coincidence. It is the result of an agenda, a consciously controlled ethnic and cultural transformation. Because migration is not being stopped, no, it is being organized, promoted and glorified. NGOs are not noble aid organizations, they are part of smuggling networks with a political and ideological mission,” said Kickl.

Kickl’s party, the most popular in Austria and currently polling between 34 and 36 percent, almost came to power during last year’s national elections. Although rival parties shut his party out once again, this does not appear to have deterred Kickl’s messaging on an issue that remains core to his party’s program.
“Integration is a lie because it means that the majority should adapt to the minority. And our welfare state is serving less and less those who have taken responsibility for themselves, for their families, for their homeland. It is being turned into an all-inclusive club for people who travel thousands of kilometers to take advantage of our achievements,” said Kickl.
Kickl’s party, which has promoted the remigration of migrants across Europe, has long advocated a policy known as “Fortress Austria.”

“As liberal Austrian patriots, we say that Austria is not a country of immigration and must never become one. Illegality must never be rewarded, neither through the right of residence nor through cash benefits. Asylum centers do not have their place within Europe, but outside our continent. Criminal foreigners must be consistently deported, and the welfare state belongs to our citizens and does not have to serve migrants,” he said at CPAC.
Kickl reserved some strong words for those who support open borders and mass immigration, labeling those who betray citizens as “traitors.”
“All that means fairness, and fairness means that your own people are at the center and in first place for political decisions. That is not xenophobia, that is justice, and that means taking responsibility for your own country. Those who love their country protect its citizens. Anyone who betrays the citizens is a traitor.”
Kickl also reflected on not only his party’s soaring popularity, but also the growth of similar parties across Europe.
“People are waking up, more and more and more often, and they find themselves with their worries, needs, wishes and hopes in what we criticize, what we plan and what we push forward. A great wave of freedom is currently building up across Europe.
Resistance is growing everywhere. Resistance is growing everywhere against this perverted form of Brussels imperialism, which is directed against its own member states and their citizens, and the repression of the system against this wave of freedom, the structural violence that is being used. It is not an expression of strength, it is a sign of despair and helplessness. The wind has shifted and turned into a storm, and it is blowing right in the face of the globalists. The age of the patriots has dawned. Everywhere in Europe. That’s good.”
The topic of “population exchange,” also known as the Great Replacement, was also addressed at CPAC Hungary by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
“But my friends have stolen that dream. Brussels has kidnapped it. It has derailed our future. Instead of the European dream, we are now getting a nightmare. European people do not feel safe in their own country, in their own city, on their own streets. They have become strangers where they were at home 20 years ago,” said Orbán. “What is happening in our cities is simple math. This is not integration, it is organized population exchange,” Orbán told the audience at CPAC:
