Marcel de Graaf, European Parliament Debate on Migration
Dutch politician Marcel de Graaf delivered a fiery speech in the European Parliament, linking illegal migration to a rise in crime and sexual violence in Europe. De Graaf criticized EU officials for their deal with Turkey and for failing to protect European citizens. His statements were met with immediate condemnation from other MEPs, who labeled the speech "pure racism" and called for it to be stricken from the record.
