When the first Remigration Summit went forward last year in a small town near Milan, Italy, organizers had to count as a success that it managed to happen at all, so fierce was opposition from leftist groups and establishment politicians. This year’s event in the small Portuguese town of Figueira da Foz demonstrated that the remigration movement is here to stay. There were no venue cancellations, thanks to a sympathetic owner who laughed off threats and demands. Whereas police swarmed last year’s summit to prevent trouble, this year no visible police protection was necessary. Attendance jumped from 300 to 600, and the mood was confident and at times jubilant.

Afonso Gonçalves welcomed attendees and marveled at “so many good-looking people!” before handing things over to master of ceremonies Manuel Morgado. Mr. Morgado thanked the event’s sponsors and remarked on the appropriateness of holding it on May 30, the Feast Day of Saint and King Ferdinand III of Castile, under whose Christian leadership a large part of the Iberian Peninsula was reconquered from the Moors. The obvious implication was that our task of taking back Europe is a continuation of his struggle in the thirteenth century, but King Ferdinand probably did not have to fight against so much opposition from men of his own race and faith.
Mr. Gonçalves was the first speaker. He reminded us that, although getting stronger, we are still swimming against the tide: the anti-European Left remains entrenched in all our institutions, and the NGO SOS Racism formally requested that the Portuguese government cancel this event. Portugal is a country of only ten million people, and is home to two million immigrants. There are more foreign than native births in many towns, and many Portuguese wish to emigrate, yet the government is still allowing hundreds of thousands to come in and settle permanently. To be Portuguese, however, is not to possess a government-stamped paper saying one is Portuguese, but to be descended from the men who took their land back from the Moors in the Reconquista of the Middle Ages.

In 2023, Mr. Gonçalves founded the group Reconquista, which intends to take back Portugal for its natural sons once again. The group launched a petition to stop immigration last week and it already has 30,000 signatures. That means the Portuguese legislature is now required to receive him And to hear him speak in favor of remigration. This will be a huge media sensation because he is already well known throughout the country.
“We no longer care about being called racists, xenophobes, fascists, or extremists,” he noted, “but we will never be called traitors to our people.” Mr. Gonçalves does not believe there are many families in Portugal who have not at least seen a video or some other material put out by his group, and he has experienced the gratitude of ordinary fellow-countrymen despite being debanked and suffering other humiliations by the traitorous elites who cling to power.
The next speaker was Lena Kotré, a lawyer and provincial delegate of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. She noted significant progress since she spoke at last year’s first meeting in Milan. Nearly one-third of voters now understand that only her party stands for the preservation of the German nation.

The state is mobilizing enormous resources to keep patriots out of power, and imposing travel bans on her party’s supporters (something formerly associated with the East German Communist regime), but all of this reveals only their desperation. They resort to punishment because they have no arguments or facts on their side. These will intensify in the near future, and the establishment is now openly supportive of antifa terrorism, but “if that is the price we must pay to secure our nation, so be it.” Schoolchildren now speak openly and without fear of remigration, and little boys boast that they want to become police officers so they can deport foreigners.
The third speaker was Stefano Forte, president of the New York Young Republicans Club. He mentioned that 40 percent of New Yorkers now speak a language other than English at home, and many of these foreigners are the sort that “eat from our hands while they spit in our faces.” Remigration is not a mere political issue in the usual sense, but a question of survival. New York is currently governed by a radical Muslim mayor whose top lawyer represents al-Qaeda terrorists, and he cannot be allowed to replace native New Yorkers.

Mr. Forte’s group was the first Republican club to endorse Donald Trump, and it did so because the candidate said remigration will make America great again. People support remigration not because they hate but because they love: love their parents and their children and revere the civilized heritage passed down to them. “The West was bequeathed to us by our fathers to be passed on to our sons, and we will not be the generation that squanders our birthright.”
The next speaker was the director of the White Paper Policy Institute, Cyan Quinn, who spoke about birth rates. She began by citing American Congressman Steve King’s remark that “we can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies.”

Indian President Modi recently signed free-trade agreements with the European Union, which include significant migration components, but these were not publicized due to their unpopularity. India has twice the population of Europe and wants to export its young men. When they arrive, they both compete directly against native men for jobs and practice ethnic nepotism as a matter of course. They are also a fiscal net negative, compounding the crisis of the welfare state rather than solving it.
European birth rates are already low, and our own men often cannot find jobs or start families. European couples must wait for houses, while immigrants go to the head of the line. Remigration would make housing affordable.
Direct policy fixes for low fertility do not work long term: in countries as different as Denmark, Hungary, and Korea, baby bonuses or tax incentives have led to short-term gains quickly followed by drops.
Women now compete against men for jobs, lowering the number of men women consider “marriageable.” Quotas for women are maintained in many positions that women themselves do not even seem to want: plenty would prefer to stay home, but no one asks them. Married women with children are the happiest women. They do not like to out-earn their husbands, and husbands do not like being out-earned. We need policies that accept people as they are: letting women have children and letting men support them.
Earlier marriage must also be encouraged. Many women now marrying at 35 or even older. The evidence is also clear that mere cohabitation does not lead to marriage.
Remigration creates optimism. Following the 2016 election of Donald Trump, Hispanic birth rates dropped, while white birth rates increased. Reducing diversity makes people optimistic and lowers pressure on public services. It will lead to a renewed flourishing of family life.
Maximilian Märkl is a German nationalist who was stopped at the airport by government officials who claimed his participation at the Remigration Summit would “damage the reputation of the Federal Republic of Germany.” He recorded a videotaped apology for not being able to make it, then jumped in his car and drove twenty-two hours to Portugal on the chance he might not be stopped. It worked: organizers played the videotaped apology, then produced the man on stage: thunderous applause greeted him.

Mr. Märkl noted that Europe’s rulers are committing a historic crime against their people and attempting to prevent them from even speaking about it. He does not want to force his son to fight a battle his father was too afraid to fight: “Today I am proud to be a European and to fight beside you for remigration.”
Lawyer Eva Vlaardingerbroek told the audience “You will save this continent by the grace of God, I am sure of it.” She observed that at last year’s Remigration Summit, much of Milan was in lockdown and police had to escort participants to the venue: this year none of that was necessary.

The situation is still dire: nearly every day brings a new story of a white boy or girl raped, stabbed, murdered. These deaths well represent the state of the continent in general. Almost all right-wing activists in Europe have been banned from at least some social media, and many are being investigated or on trial. Vlaardingerbroek herself was recently banned from UK, an honor achieved by Martin Sellner and a number of others many years ago. But the term “remigration” is now central to political debate in Europe.
Recently, Vlaardingerbroek and her associates drew up the Save Europe Act, a citizens’ initiative which includes a demand for a total halt to non-Western immigration. The sponsors are aiming for one million signatures, and conference participants were invited to be among the first. Such a petition could, under European law, force the European Commission at least to address the issue of remigration and meet with its advocates. It will be a bad day for Ursula von der Leyen when she is forced to meet and shake hands with Martin Sellner. Readers can check out the text of the initiative at Save-Europe-Act.com.
After a break for lunch, Björn Höcke of the AfD greeted the conference by video. He said that immigration has led to the emergence of ethnic block voting, representing a danger to the European idea of democracy. Migration is not a “human right.” Nations, on the other hand, do have every right to decide with whom they wish to live. Although still kept out of power at the national level, the AfD has been working to introduce the idea of remigration at the provincial level. Mr. Höcke stressed that the European fight to preserve its homelands for its own posterity is morally just.
Next came lawyer and member of the Spanish Congress of Deputies Rocío de Meer, who noted that no generation has the right to undo what the work and sacrifice of many generations has handed down to it. The real “hate speech” comes from those who want to destroy our homelands. Foreigners from outside Europe are now entering Spain at a rate of one million a year, and remigration is the only course that can still save the nation.

The homeland derives from the family, and the cradle needs defending as well as the border: “Women should not need to ask permission of feminists to become mothers.” Birth rates are a spiritual as well as national issue, and both motherhood and fatherhood must have an honored place at the center of society. Our rulers tell us speaking this way is extremism, but asking Spaniards to remain silent as they slowly disappear is the true extremism. We are not condemned to replacement. We can choose, and what we are choosing is remigration and Spain.
Lidewij de Vos told attendees that for the past six weeks, news in the Netherlands has been dominated by the largest anti-immigration protest in its history. How did the government respond? Not with dialogue but by calling an emergency meeting to arrange the building of more asylum centers. Three hundred of these already exist, and were a major factor behind the protests. Local residents are never consulted when new ones are built.

The government pretends that protests against immigration lead to violence, while it is obvious to everybody that immigration itself has led to violence. Asylum seekers rape twenty times more frequently than Dutch men, and kill and steal at comparable rates. Our daughters and sons are being slaughtered on the altar of mass migration.
Closing the borders and abolishing the asylum system will not be enough: Even if migration stopped completely tomorrow, its effects will remain. Remigration is the only solution to the failure of multiculturalism, which Mrs. de Vos likened to a cruel forced marriage. Somali immigrants, for example, cost the state €800,000 per person: paying them to leave is a bargain by comparison. The goal is net negative migration to preserve the Netherlands as a home for the Dutch people. What we want is humane and durable.
Especially loud applause greeted Mrs. de Vos’s mention that she is expecting a child, and she noted that her child’s future is what motivates her to continue the fight.
Retired US Border Patrol commander-at-large Gregory Bovino noted that the US and Europe have differed on many questions over the years, but with regards to remigration their interests are identical: on both continents, the same problem requires the same solution.

Little Village is a part of Chicago that local police recommended Mr. Bovino and his agents avoid due to the amount of violence there. It is home to tens of thousands of Central and South Americans. In the fall of 2025, they hit it hard, and Mr. Bovino was shocked by what he saw: crumbling buildings, crumbling infrastructure, trash all over. MS-13 placed a $10,000 bounty on Border Patrol agents, and one of $50,000 on Mr. Bovino personally. Anarchists and rioters arrived to interfere with the Border Patrol’s work, and agents simply arrested them by the dozens as well.
Such actions require careful preparation: The border patrol develops a strategy for five years before they go into an area. They have learned to maintain their own media apparatus to counter hostile reporters. Eighty million Americans voted for remigration, said Mr. Bovino, and the Border Patrol is delivering it. His speech was greeted with shouts of “USA! USA! USA!”
Former French Member of the European Parliament Jean-Yves Le Gallou focused his remarks on the problem of judicial usurpation of powers not properly belonging to them. In 2023, France’s legislature adopted an immigration policy which was far from ideal but contained some restrictive measures; France’s constitutional council, a kind of supreme court, struck down three quarters of these.
Mr. Le Gallou related the story of a civil servant who presided over Frontex, the European Union’s border and coast guard agency. This man worked to stop illegal immigration, which was part of his job description, and got accused by judges of “crimes against humanity” as a result. Judicial overreach is a problem in many European countries, and all in public life are intimidated by it. Legislators and politicians resort to self-censorship. There are many international agreements that can be interpreted almost at will, and this is precisely what European judges do. European conventions ratified in 1950s to protect displaced persons after WWII are now being used to bring the entire world to France. Such power is not answerable to the voters or anyone else, and takes no account of the practical effects of its decisions. For example, a French court recently decided that every woman in Afghanistan has a right to residence in France.
The European people must resume full sovereignty over the laws and administrative decisions pronounced in their name, and judges must be made to follow the law. Power must be returned to the people of Europe through referenda where possible, elsewhere by parliamentary legislation.
Sammy Woodhouse, survivor of a Rotherham grooming gang, offered a moving account of her ordeal. At the age of fourteen, she met a 24-year-old Pakistani man through a friend of hers. He had only recently been released from prison. He gradually drew her into his circle, where the abuse began. She was abducted on many occasions and held for weeks at a time in hotels. As time went on, the abuse became more violent, including beatings and rape. On her fifteenth birthday, she was forced to participate in an armed robbery; she was arrested, while the Pakistani man went free. She had one abortion and attempted suicide on multiple occasions.

Authorities had known about abuse such as this for decades, but would simply lie about the evidence. Miss Woodhouse was among the first to take legal action against the police, who finally agreed to carry out a full investigation of her case: the largest child abuse investigation in British history. She was urged not to go public with her experience in order not to “jeopardize the investigation.” She did so anyway, and it jeopardized nothing. Many other victims began coming forward. Cases emerged of children as young as eleven being tortured, sometimes to the accompaniment of readings from the Koran. DNA evidence was ignored and other evidence was actually destroyed by the police, who called the girls prostitutes or slags and even arrested parents they found troublesome. Miss Woodhouse is author of the memoir Just a Child, and continues to educate the public about grooming gangs. Through her work, children conceived in rape have been legally recognized as a victim class.
Milan Mazurek is a Slovak member of the European Parliament who made a stir by announcing in that body that “white lives matter.” He notes that anti-white propaganda remains stronger in Western Europe, but is appearing in former Warsaw Pact nations such as Slovakia. Leading politicians from his country have promised the WEF to import Indians and Uzbeks. Ukraine is currently importing South Asians. Western Europeans must not believe that Eastern Europe remains a safe haven.

Mr. Mazurek warned against the dangers of petty nationalism while all of Europe is at risk. He is a member of the parliamentary group Europe of Sovereign Nations, within which traditional rivals such as Slovakia and Hungary cooperate rather than arguing over borders. “The enemy does not see any difference” between white nations. Europe of Sovereign Nations is currently sponsoring a bill to mandate the enforcement of deportation orders, now frequently ignored with impunity.
Some progress is occurring. The European Parliament has designated the nations of North Africa safe, meaning that refugees who cross these countries to get to Europe can no longer be considered legitimate refugees. But a sign of how much remains to be done was the EU Parliament’s recent award of the European Order of Merit to Angela Merkel, a woman guilty of destroying borders and thereby abetting the rape and murder of innocent Europeans.
Martin Sellner, cofounder of the Identitarian Movement of Austria in 2012, noted that there are now at least 95 million citizens voting for patriotic parties across Europe. Social-media sites are overflowing with identitarian messages. And yet this success has not translated into real power. Mr. Sellner reports that he has just founded the Remigration Institute as a lobby for remigration. Politics works through pressure, he noted, and even nationalist parties will not enact remigration unless pressured to do so: “If you cannot reward and punish politicians, you do not exist in their world.”
Martin Sellner. (Credit: @RESUM26)
He cited America’s National Rifle Association as an example of how lobbying should be done: They monitor and judge legislators, rewarding loyalty and punishing betrayal. The Remigration Institute seeks to do the same for the remigration issue in Europe. Skill in spreading memes on social media represents the childhood of our activism; only once we create institutions feared by politicians will we have arrived at political adulthood. When the baby-boomers die off, white numbers will decline drastically, so we have roughly fifteen years left to save a 6,500-year-old heritage. This is our hour of decision, and what we do or fail to do now will echo into eternity. Let us become powerful!
2023 American Renaissance conference veteran Dries Van Langenhove was the final speaker at this second Remigration Summit. His talk was a reflection on the appalling judgment handed down against him just five days before in his native Belgium. For a second time, he was convicted of “hate speech” due to an entirely factual lecture he gave on the effects of immigration on living conditions and crime. The judge explicitly ruled that the truth of his statements was irrelevant to their status as “hate speech.”

Besides these two criminal convictions, Mr. Van Langenhove has had his house raided three times, was expelled from his university, and lost his bank account. He noted that nationalists are now starting their own bank to get around this danger, and we will probably have to create our own institutions in other spheres as well. But the struggle is worth it because mass migration is an existential crisis for Europe more serious than either the Black Death or the Second World War. All can yet be saved, and even our birth rates brought back to normal — but only if the project of remigration succeeds.
Meetings like this are an indispensable part of our struggle. There is nothing more inspiring than renewing ties with old friends and mixing with prominent movement leaders. As I savored the excitement and commitment in the room, I have no doubt that 600 people returned to their homes, more determined than ever to fight for their people and civilization.
RESUM26 was wonderful.
