50:00 I feel very honored to be allowed to be here today and address a few words to you. 50:06 My name is Jiri Janecek, and I am the head of the Citizens’ Conservative Party (Obcanska konzervativni strana). 50:13 In the past I used to be a member of Czech parliament, and Prague’s municipal council. I have already been active in politics for ten years. 50:24 Europe is in danger and leftist governments do not want to recognize it at all. 50:29 Immigrants easily receive the same rights as Europe’s indigenous inhabitants. 50:33 Hardworking citizens and entrepreneurs are put under more and more pressure to pay ever-increasing taxes. 50:46 Leftist governments collect funds for their populist programmes from the taxes of the self-employed, 50:52 entrepreneurs and hardworking people. 50:55 It’s completely commonplace that families of the unemployed have the same living standard as those families where both parents work. 51:02 The origins of today’s crisis go back to the socialist politics of the European states after WW2, when Europe’s rulers 51:09 decided that no war should ever occur again, and that’s why social reconciliation had to be established. 51:20 This reconciliation has unfortunately been set in such a way that those who do not work live as comfortably as working people. 51:26 How long is it possible to oppress and exploit those who work hard? 51:32 I think, that time is approaching when self-employed people and those who pay ever increasing taxes, those who suffer 51:39 from Brussels’ bureaucratic directions, are going to give up this fight. This will be the end of civilised Europe. 51:48 Our duty is to protect these people, and prohibit other immigrants from entering our Europe. 52:00 Immigrants take job opportunities from our citizens, abuse our social welfare system, and are not willing to tolerate our culture. 52:14 Justice has to return to Europe. 52:17 Those who don’t work cannot have the same living standard as working people. 52:27 We have to unite and build a wall resisting the leftists’ populism and immigration. 52:33 People have to understand that not everyone can live well. 52:36 And this is going to be a big problem when it comes to our political programmes, and a chance to succeed notably in elections. 52:42 People tend to vote for the parties promising social welfare rather than parties telling the truth. 52:55 The Citizens’ Conservative Party wants a Europe with clear and fair conditions for honest and hardworking people. 53:00 A conservative is responsible for himself, his family, surroundings, job and state. 53:14 He is willing to pay effective taxes, expecting education for his children, 53:20 medical care, security, a functioning justice system, 53:26 and a forthright social policy directed at those who really need it. 53:38 The state cannot be allowed to bother and limit hardworking citizens with bureaucracy, 53:44 endlessly supporting with social benefits those who could work and immigrants. 53:52 We are ready to join the ranks led by the head of the FN, Marine le Pen, 54:01 and help to bring justice and order back to Europe. 54:07 Long live Le Pen!
