EUROPE - Open borders activists have criticised the “fascist rhetoric” and “deeply worrying” new vice president commissioner role of “Protecting Our European Way of Life” — despite the role focusing on integrating migrants and working on a new EU asylum pact, not stopping mass migration. The next European Commission president and former German defence minister Ursula von der Leyen has revealed nominations for a new college of eight vice presidents, naming Greek former Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas as the vice president for Protecting Our European Way of Life, a role intended to respond to the rising number of migrants in the bloc that have been arriving since the 2015 migrant crisis. Leftists have immediately attacked the job title, claiming protecting the European way of life, as it is phrased, is “fascist rhetoric”.
