Just 2 days ago here in Romania we had stabbings from ilegal imigrants and ilegal Guides. They stabbed some police officers and run. Origin countries being Pakistan and Afghanistan, they were captured later. So how about we see the fucking truth and not blame Europe. Can we have our countries back. please? Our history? Our ppl and just our ppl?
