Far-right activists to sue European Commission over 'remigration' rejection

Far-right activists behind the "Save Europe Act" campaign have announced plans to take the European Commission to court after the EU executive rejected their petition promoting "remigration.

The Core Dispute

• The Petition: Organizers attempted to register a European Citizens' Initiative (ECI). It called for a temporary suspension of non-Western immigration channels (such as family reunification and study visas). It also demanded the forced return ("remigration") of legally resident non-European nationals deemed unintegrated or a burden.
• The Commission's Rejection: The European Commission officially refused to register the initiative. It stated that the proposal was contrary to fundamental EU values. The Commission noted that the petition explicitly discriminates based on ethnic, cultural, civilisational, or racial origin rather than providing the case-by-case legal review mandated by EU law.

Key Figures and Support

• Leadership: The movement is led by prominent Austrian far-right and identitarian activist Martin Sellner. Sellner announced that the campaign's legal team is prepared to file a formal lawsuit challenging the decision.
• Political Backing: The initiative is supported by various European nationalist and right-wing figures, including Hungary's Viktor Orbán, Spain's Santiago Abascal, and Romania's George Simion.
• Signatures: Organizers claim to have already collected nearly 600,000 informal signatures. A legitimate ECI requires one million verified signatures across at least seven member states to force action or a hearing from EU bodies.

Political Reactions

• Counter-protests: The decision sparked immediate political pushback in Brussels. Green MEP Cristina Guarda openly supported the rejection, labeling the petition as "hate propaganda". European lawmakers also staged counter-demonstrations when the campaign's supporters gathered outside the European Parliament.

Here’s the latest.

The United States and Iran traded more attacks across the Middle East after Tehran was said to have rejected a U.S. cease-fire proposal delivered by the leader of Iraq.

 

American forces targeted Iranian military assets and facilities, including drone storage sites, to reduce the threat to commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Central Command said. The attacks began at 2:15 a.m. local time and ended just over two hours later, according to the command, which oversees operations in the Middle East.

 

The Iranian military said it had launched drone attacks on Friday morning against U.S. military targets at bases in Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties. The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps issued a warning for residents of countries that host American forces to keep at least 500 meters from military bases where those troops are located.

 

The resurgence in fighting has sent the price of oil above $100 for the first time since May. A threat by the Iranian-allied Houthi militants in Yemen to expand the fight to the Red Sea and target Saudi ships has injected further uncertainty into global energy markets.

 

The Houthis claimed on Wednesday to have struck two Saudi tankers, the first attacks since the group announced a blockade of Saudi ships this week. The Saudi authorities confirmed a strike on one tanker. This has stoked fears that, like the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea shipping route might also be blocked.

 

Mr. Trump said in a social media post on Thursday that from now on, he would make Iran pay for any damage to ships and cargo in the Strait of Hormuz using Iranian funds under U.S. control.

 

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, later said — without mentioning Mr. Trump — that such a move would set an “incendiary precedent.”

 

Here’s what else we’re covering:

 

Energy markets: The price of Brent crude, the global benchmark for oil, was up more than 7 percent at $100.95 a barrel on Friday. The price of crude is nearly 40 percent higher since the start of the war.

 

Tracking casualties: A group of Democratic senators urged Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to provide “a full and accurate accounting” of all American troops killed or wounded in the war, saying the Pentagon has reported “inconsistent casualty figures.”
