The rich European culture that we've proudly held for centuries is at risk of being completely lost,

Seems to be a pretty right wing rag but....

EUROPEAN NEWS
President Trump: I think what has happened to Europe is a shame, you are losing your culture
By LAURA CAT 13 July 2018

The rich European culture that we’ve proudly held for centuries is at risk of being completely lost, if it isn’t already too late.

President Donald J. Trump seems to agree with the majority who fear this. He stated in an interview with The Sun in Brussels, that Europeans are losing their culture and identity by allowing an uncontrolled migrant influx into the EU.

“Allowing the immigration to take place in Europe is a shame,” Trump told the Sun, “I think it changed the fabric of Europe and, unless you act very quickly, it’s never going to be what it was and I don’t mean that in a positive way.”

“I think you are losing your culture,” Trump said, putting the responsibility for change squarely on the shoulders of politicians who will need to act quickly if there is any chance to reverse the situation. “I think what has happened to Europe is a shame.”

If a few million human beings, many of them fleeing war in Syria, can destroy the culture of 500 million EU citizens, then maybe we deserve it.

We'd destroy our European culture if we closed the borders and told them "well, tough luck, go back to Syria!". Our values are based on humanitarianism (some call it christian charity), so I'm happy we can give shelter to some of the refugees. I'm not worried about destroying or losing any values by doing so.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/voice-of-europe/

Notes: Voice of Europe is a far right website that publishes sensational stories.

“Voice of Europe doesn’t have an about page, however according to their twitter profile information they describe their content as “Conservative news network delivering you breaking news, uncensored articles and must-see videos.” Voice of Europe reports stories from European media and frames and spins them in a misleading way that always turns out negative for immigrants and the European Union: “Almost 98% of gang rapists in Sweden have a migrant background”, “Sweden reports highest number of murders in fifteen years” Voice of Europe also has a poor track record with fact checkers.”

I figure some folks would like getting a heads up before clicking through to that garbage fire of a site. But it’s very much worth discussing that Dump 45 is being promoted by it!
