Dutch political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek has launched the “Save Europe Act” — a European Citizens’ Initiative demanding that the EU halt replacement migration, secure borders, and protect the ethnocultural identity of European nations.
Vlaardingerbroek unveiled the initiative at the Remigration Summit in Porto, Portugal on Saturday, describing it as “essentially a legal proposal that we will send to the European Commission and demand that they transform into law.”
The Act’s core demands are a total halt to non-European immigration — both legal and illegal — and the creation of a Europe-wide remigration system. The charter also calls for the removal of “social welfare incentives and benefits that function as pull factors for migration” to reduce immigration incentives, encourage remigration, and “lessen the burden on European taxpayers.”
The initiative requires 1 million signatures representing all 27 EU member states to formally compel the Commission’s consideration. By midnight Saturday, more than 13,000 signatures had been collected from citizens of at least 13 member states plus Norway and Britain. The initial target is 100,000 signatures before officially filing.
Vlaardingerbroek acknowledged the Commission could refuse to act even if the signature threshold is met — but argued the exercise itself has value. “Things are going too slow here in Europe when it comes to immigration and especially remigration,” she said. “Obviously, the borders are still wide open and nobody is being sent home. But the situation is deteriorating. We are about to become a minority in our own countries and we cannot just wait for politicians to save our lives.”
The Save Europe Act is the most direct attempt yet to use the EU’s own democratic machinery — the Citizens’ Initiative framework — to force a debate on remigration at the institutional level in Brussels.
