This weekend, a wave of anti-mass migration demonstrations erupted across Europe, with tens of thousands of people gathering in Ireland, England, Germany, and Poland to voice their frustrations with and opposition to the current migration policies imposed by Brussels and their globalist-led governments.
The demonstrations, fueled by growing concerns over national security, ever-increasing strained public services, and the erosion of cultural identities and their formerly high-trust societies, showcased the rising discontent in local communities, particularly in working-class and rural areas.

In Dublin, no fewer than 10,000 people flooded the streets—though some estimates placed the crowd closer to 100,000—to commemorate the anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising, the historic rebellion in which Irish nationalists fought to bring an end to British rule.
The protesters marched with their tricolor national flags and messages such as “Irish Lives Matter,” “Ireland for the Irish,” and “Ireland is Full,” rallying against the sustained, unrelenting influx of migrants, illegal and legal, that many believe are threatening the very fabric of Irish society.

The demonstrations were supported by Irish UFC champion Conor McGregor, who has been an outspoken critic of the government’s pro-mass immigration policies. McGregor posted a message on social media, urging the crowd to remain focused and respectful:
“Over 100 years ago, our brave men and women made the ultimate sacrifice so that we could live free today. Let us remind ourselves why we are here and also why we are not here. We are not here to build hatred amongst each other; we are here to shine our light on the failure of the Irish government,” McGregor said.
In the heart of sacrifice, I stand and speak for those who fought, and for those still fighting.
Have a great, peaceful, and productive day everyone!
Let your voice be heard.
The correct way!

The protest also witnessed clashes with counter-demonstrators, including far-left extremist groups and left-liberal pro-immigration activists. Despite the disruptions, the Irish nationalist crowd remained calm, marching peacefully through the city, with shouts of “Ireland for the Irish” resonating in the streets.
The mass migration issue in Ireland has grown increasingly contentious over the past two decades. Presently, the number of foreign-born residents has surged to over a million, constituting about 20 percent of the population, and the government’s open-door policy has led to severe social unrest, with many foreigners being put into social housing before needy Irish citizens.
Recent protests have been fueled by government efforts to house migrants in hotels across the country, often in small, rural communities ill-equipped to absorb large migrant populations, as well as by incidents of violence, including a stabbing of three small children carried out by a migrant in 2023.
Beyond rising social tensions, the economic fallout—worsened by successive crises, first the COVID-19 pandemic and then the Russo-Ukrainian war—has become increasingly impossible to ignore.
With the rising cost of housing and stagnating wages, many Irish citizens feel they are being left behind by a government more focused on globalist ideals than the needs of its own people.
This sentiment was echoed by participants in protests across Europe.
In Dover, England, hundreds of motorcyclists joined forces under the banner “Stop the Boats,” denouncing the UK’s handling of illegal immigration and the growing numbers crossing the English Channel. Similarly, in Warsaw, Poland, and across German cities like Dortmund, crowds gathered to voice their concerns over uncontrolled migration and the policies of the European Union.

The growing unrest in these protests is not only about sustained, unrelenting mass migration of people from alien cultures but also about the failure of European leaders to listen to the concerns of their citizens.
In Germany and Poland, demonstrators voiced their opposition to the EU’s increasingly authoritarian top-down approach to immigration, which they believe is out of touch with the struggles of everyday citizens.
The mass, sustained influx of migrants has placed immense strain on local infrastructure, housing, and public services, creating a sense of insecurity and frustration in small towns and rural areas that are seeing their once ethnically, culturally, linguistically, and religiously cohesive communities rapidly changing.
As the former UFC Champion Conor McGregor put it in his message to the Dublin protestors, “Together we rise, together we win. God bless us all. God bless Ireland.” His words seem to resonate across Europe as citizens from various nations begin to unite in their fight against mass immigration and the loss of national sovereignty.
As the protests keep growing in size and energy, it’s clear that populist and nationalist movements across Europe aren’t just hanging on—they’re building real momentum and starting to reshape the political landscape.
