Comrade Akim Odong,
Reactions from Estonia on proposals to have a "quota" system to
distribute the immigrants across EU countries.
In the meantime, the British Foreign Secretary has been on TV a few
minutes ago warning against African migration to Europe. He says most
African migrants believe they only have to step foot in Europe and
they will never be returned to their country of origin. He says thats
why the UK has to send a very strong message to would-be immigrants
from Africa that the streets of the UK are not paved with gold. He
says the only solution to the Med Sea migrant crisis is to stop the
migrants from boarding boats in Libya.

Former liberal MEP Ojuland calls African refugees a "threat to white
race" (239)
Kristiina Ojuland, a former Foreign Minister of Estonia and former
member of the European Parliament, voiced her disapproval of the
European Commission's migrant quota plan on her official Facebook
page, by calling for a pan-European campaign against admitting any
refugees in the EU.
In a post that was more reminiscent of a far-right extremist, than a
former Vice President of the European Liberal Democrat and Reform
Party (ALDE), Ojuland said that the "white race is threatened" by
dark-skinned immigrants (Ojuland actually used an Estonian word
"neeger" which is not officially considered offensive in Estonia, but
nevertheless becoming socially unacceptable).
"Today yet again I see a fully able young Negro begging for money in
Italy, from people who have worked hard to earn a lunch. I think that
we should start a pan-European campaign to collect signatures to
ensure that not a single so-called refugee gets across the
Mediterranean. Enough of this nonsense!" Ojuland, the former
high-ranking politician who for years campaigned Estonia to join the
EU, wrote.
Her posting has so far gathered over 2,000 "likes", 500 shares and 300
comments. While many people pointed out her offensive remarks and some
called her racist, one would have thought that the former foreign
minister would back down, but it didn't turn out to be so. Instead,
Ojuland chose to rigorously defend her statement and even went
offensive against the moderate commentators who asked for common
sense.
"Stop using a word 'racist'! As a white person, I feel that the white
race is threatened today! Are Estonians also so brain-washed now that
they start talking some kind of politically correct bullshit?" Ojuland
said.
Another reasonable commentator was told by former liberal MEP that by
being a member of the European Union does not mean "accepting people
who would squeeze Estonia's social system". "Estonia needs to say
clear no to Mediterranean migrants!" exclaimed Ojuland.
Ojuland was the Foreign Minister of Estonia from 2002-2005. In June
2004 she ran for the post of secretary-general of the Council of
Europe, but was defeated. She was a member of the Estonian Reform
Party from 1995-2013 and from 2009-2014 served as 1 of the 6 Estonian
MEPs in the European Parliament. Ojuland was expelled from the Reform
Party in June 2013 over alleged vote rigging in the party board
elections and subsequently founded Party of People's Unity, which
failed to gain enough votes to enter the Parliament, effectively
ending Ojuland's major political career in Estonia.
