Freedom Congress – with a message of hope

During the weekend 21 – 23 October Europa Terra Nostra arranged the Freedom Congress (Freiheitlicher Kongress) in northern Germany, with speakers from Europe, USA and the Middle East. The theme for the congress was “Reconquista or Doom”, focusing on the challenges facing Europe and the West.

It was an impressive line-up of speakers that converged during the weekend to give their views on the perils that face us, but also to discuss the way forward. Many times, we nationalist are good at presenting the problems, but not as good to give examples of possible solutions. Not so this time though.

Friday: Opening of the congress and photo exhibition

Mr. Dan Eriksson, chairman of Europa Terra Nostra opened the congress on Friday evening and welcomed the guests. Mr. Eriksson then turned the floor over to Mr. Udo Voigt, former party leader of National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD) and current member of the European Parliament.

Mr. Voigt introduced his photo exhibition from his visits to Syria, “Syria’s Heritage – Cradle of Civilization”, an exhibition that was meant to be displayed at the European Parliament but was censored by European Parliament President Mr. Martin Schulz just days before the opening. Mr. Voigt then presented a travel report from Syria, accompanied with several hundred of pictures from the war torn country.

After dinner, Mr. Frank Rennicke, well known and very appreciated troubadour, picked up the guitar and sang, together with the guests, songs from different regions of Germany.

Saturday: Speeches, lectures and music

On saturday more guests arrived and when all was counted for, Mr. Dan Eriksson once again took to the lectern and informed about the work of Europa Terra Nostra now and the plans for the future. Not wanting to steal time from the long line of speakers waiting, he soon opened the floor for the invited speakers of the day:

– Mr. Nick Griffin (Great Britain), vice chairman of Alliance for Peace and Freedom (APF).

A little provocative, to get our attention, Mr. Griffin said that even among us listening, we could find the enemies of Europe. What he meant and that which was the focus of his speech, is the fact that we europeans are not having children.

– Mr. Udo Voigt (Germany), National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD), MEP.

The theme of Mr. Voigt’s speech was, who are the enemies of Europe? He pointed out that we must see the difference between the Europe of the European Union, and the Europe that we as nationalists envision.

– Mr. Daniel Friberg (Sweden), co-founder of Arktos Media Ltd. and author of best selling book The Real Right Returns.

The time of left wing politics and cultural marxism is up and now we see the rise of the real Right. This is the message of Mr. Friberg and something he emphasized during his speech. Europa Terra Nostra was especially happy to have Mr. Friberg as guest since Europa Terra Nostra on the same day published a special edition of his best-seller in German.

– Dr. Milan Uhrik (Slovakia), MP and vice party leader of Kotleba – People’s Party Our Slovakia (L`SNS).

What was behind the success of the L`SNS in the latest election? How has the party been working? On this subject, Dr. Uhrik spoke, hoping that their examples could help other nationalists forwarding their work.

When the speakers had done their work and the audience had had both lunch, coffee and dinner, it was time for the entertainment to begin. First we were treated to a stand-up routine, hitting hard against the pc-establishment and giving us all many good laughs.

Thereafter, Mr. Frank Rennicke brought his two guitars on stage and with his combination of powerful lyrics, emotional songs, humour and political analysis motivated and entertained the crowd for the rest of the evening.

Sunday: Words from the West and Middle East

After a sturdy breakfast it was time for the last day of the congress. If the day before gave us voices from Europe, we were now broadening our perspectives. Before the speakers of the day began, we received short greetings from William Johnson (USA), chairman of the American Freedom Party; Thorsten Thomsen (Germany), chairman of the Institute for Homeland and National Identity; Peter Schriber (Germany), chief editor of the newspaper Deutsche Stimme and Arne Shimmer (Germany), chief editor of the magazine Gegenlicht.   

– Prof. Kevin MacDonald (USA), retired professor of psychology at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) and best selling author.

What is happening in the US and how is it affecting Europe? This was the core of Prof. MacDonald’s speech: European identity and the populist revolt in the USA and Europe: Bringing down the hostile elites.

– Dr. Tomislav Sunic (Croatia/USA), former professor, former diplomat for the Croatian government, writer and bestselling author.

White nationalism, people, folk… In his lecture; European or folkish identity? – Scattered regionalism, USA and Europe in a foreign infiltrated world, Dr. Sunic explored who we are and what identities to cling to in these perilous times.

– Hassan Sakr (Lebanon), Head of Foreign Affairs at the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP).

Why is Syria the battleground today and why? What could be the future of Syria and the region? About this Mr. Hassan Sakr lectured and it was an inside voice the guests had the opportunity to listen to. Mr. Sakr also commented on the “refugee crises” and why the NWO-leaders want it.

The whole congress was livestreamed on Europa Terra Nostra’s Youtube-channel, so an additional 750 people worldwide, in total, followed the congress online. This is something that ETN hopefully will continue to offer in the future.

All in all it was a great congress and all of us attending went away with new insights, new knowledge and hope for the future.
