Europe’s Hard Left at Its Most Dangerous

Conservatives are poised to win back power throughout Europe, but the left is fighting back, violently. Communists and Islamist groups funded through CCP channels are using shock tactics, mass mobilizations, media, and vote manipulation to influence critical elections scheduled in the coming months.

Far left organizations allied with pro-Palestine activist groups are rioting across France in anticipation of a victory by the anti-globalist Rassemblement National party. Leftist parliamentary leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who has said that he will “not accept” an RN victory, has called for a “general strike.” (RELATED: The Thorny Issue of Immigration and the Catholic Church)

Violent protests are spreading in Germany in response to nationalist AfD victories in recent regional elections. In Spain, socialist president Pedro Sánchez is calling for “mobilizations against the ultra-right wing opposition” favored to win Nov. 29 elections, which his scandal-ridden, rickety minority government is holding after losing far left support in parliament.

Socialist-controlled labor unions are now also calling for a general strike in Spain, which could become the next major battleground.

“We are in an unusual situation,” says Sánchez’s former vice president and treasury minister María Jesús Montero. “A general strike is generally called against a government. In this case it’s being called against the opposition.”

The far left, backed by powerful outside actors, is waging political warfare at an unprecedented scale to retain control of the EU.

The chaotic scenario unfolding in major NATO countries once considered stable U.S. allies and bulwarks of the Western alliance plays into the hands of Iran’s IRGC, which is activating terrorist sleeper cells in Europe. China’s interests are also closely protected by European leftists. Russia is already engaged in widespread hybrid warfare against NATO countries.

The Paris protests, which initially started over legitimate student grievances about deteriorating classroom conditions, partially caused by the influx of African migrants into the educational system, have been taken over by powerful far-left activist networks. According to an extensive Fox News Digital investigation, “a transnational network of over 50 groups is seizing on France’s student protests to advance a wider political and ideological agenda.”

French Communist Party chief Fabien Roussel has joined the protests together with other communist officials, including mayors and lawmakers from Mélenchon’s France Insoumise coalition who are in some cases protecting violent rioters from arrest.

“Police chiefs say violence directed by agitators who have no link with schools is making their job incredibly hard,” according to a BBC report. Chants of “we hate police” now emanate from protest marches in which communist hammer and sickle flags wave alongside Palestinian banners of Muslim Students of France (EMF).

Fox News has also revealed that the French protests are being choreographed through a communist Chinese propaganda network funded by the Shanghai-based tech billionaire, Neville Roy Singham, who finances communist and far-left groups in the U.S. where he is under DOJ investigation for links to the CCP.

French president Emmanuel Macron, who needs Mélenchon’s support in parliament, has been keeping largely quiet about the riots. As communists and Islamists called for killing police on the streets of Paris, he went on a tirade against “American free speech” for violating recent EU measures designed to silence conservative voices on social media.

Sánchez, meanwhile, is vying to lead a French-type insurrection brewing in Spain over last month’s eviction of an 87-year-old woman from a Madrid apartment building purchased by a U.S. hedge fund. “It’s Sánchez who opened the way for BlackRock and other American vulture funds to take over existing public housing projects,” said a former government official interviewed on Spain’s Canal 13. The Spanish president has met with BlackRock founder and CEO Larry Fink on several occasions.

Sánchez, who presides over the most corrupt administration in recent Spanish history, has built less public housing than any previous government. A total of 80,000 new units have gone up during his eight years in office after he promised 3 million in his 2018 election campaign. His conservative predecessor Mariano Rajoy built 100,000.

Revenues from Sánchez’s confiscatory and intrusive tax policies have been allocated instead to expanding the bureaucracy from 13 cabinet ministries to 23.

“Inflated rents and housing shortages are also caused by the open migration policies promoted militantly by Sánchez,” says Ramón Peralta, a senior law professor at Madrid’s Complutense University. “He is trying to deflect from this summer’s migrant invasion of Ceuta provoked by his open border policies by fanning a housing crisis that is also of his own creation.”

Conservatives are up 15 points over the socialists in the latest opinion polls. But leaders of both conservative parties that plan to govern in coalition, the mainstream Popular Party (PP) and the surging right-wing start-up Vox, warn against complacency.

“Sánchez is capable of anything,” says Vox leader Santiago Abascal. “We are up against a real mafia,” says PP leader Alberto Feijóo. Police investigations reveal that the organizational secretary of the socialist party, Santos Cerdán, who faces a prison sentence for corruption, approached a drug gang about “eliminating” a judge who recently convicted Sánchez’s brother on charges of influence peddling.

Independent journalist Eric Encinas fears a “pucherazo,” or power grab. He says that the socialists could combine leftist street mobilizations that have started with the occupation of main squares in Madrid, Barcelona, and other cities, the injection of Islamic migrants into the national census to inflate socialist constituencies, and mail-in voting whose fraudulent use was detected in 2023 elections won by Sánchez by a razor-thin margin. The Socialists have also introduced a law allowing grandchildren of exiles who fled Spain during the right-wing Franco dictatorship to vote through a process entirely controlled by the Foreign Ministry.

Spain’s Supreme Court has stepped in to block application of the controversial “Ley de Nietos” in elections until hundreds of thousands of voter applicants who have no citizenship records and never lived in Spain can be properly verified.

“If the grandchildren’s law isn’t applied there will be total war,” government sources are quoted as saying by the Madrid newspaper La Razón.

Sánchez’s chief adviser and previous Socialist president, Rodríguez Zapatero, who is currently being investigated for corrupt dealings with Nicolás Maduro, managed an upset victory in 2004 elections by exploiting the political fallout from Islamic terrorist train bombings that killed 192 people.

Powerful outside actors could again influence outcomes. The IRGC has given money to Spanish far-left groups aligned with Sánchez and openly praised him for blocking U.S. warplanes from using Spanish bases to conduct military operations against Iran.

The Socialists have also become China’s main ally in Europe, repeatedly voting against EU tariffs on Chinese products favored by all other EU member states. Sanchez has made five trips to Beijing during his tenure in office to negotiate the building of Chinese EV factories in Spain for operations designed to penetrate the European market.

The far left, backed by powerful outside actors, is waging political warfare at an unprecedented scale to retain control of the EU. Practically every country except Italy, where the right took over under Giorgia Meloni four years ago, is slipping into chaos generated by leftist resistance to giving up power. Surging support for the right “will allow us to drive out the extreme left from governing institutions,” a chief spokesman for Spain’s PP has told the press. But the battle will be a hard one.
