In a powerful demonstration of solidarity, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić convened in Slovakia to address Europe’s escalating migration crisis, particularly along the Western Balkan route. This alliance, as reported by Magyar Nemzet, is resolute in fortifying Europe’s external borders—a commitment that has already led to a remarkable 79% reduction in illegal crossings compared to last year. With such a sharp decline, the three leaders set an example for Europe, showing that resolute action can yield significant results against illegal migration.
Uniting for a Secure Europe
Slovak Prime Minister Fico praised this collaboration, “We were right when we said that the Union’s external borders must be protected and that migrants who have entered the EU should not be distributed throughout Europe,” Fico stated. His call for a robust European response aligns with the urgency shared by Orbán and Vučić, who are focused on enhancing security measures and the stability and sovereignty of their nations.
Orbán echoed Fico’s sentiments, highlighting that the recent decline in illegal migration affirms the effectiveness of strong border policies. With over 3.8 million illegal border-crossing attempts across the EU in recent years—and Hungary experiencing one million of these attempts alone—Orbán remarked, “If we let in a million migrants, it will be a problem.” Since 2015, eight million asylum applications have overwhelmed Europe, straining resources and reducing the EU’s ability to deport individuals, with only a fraction of deportation orders being executed. He noted, “Last year alone, 430,000 deportation decisions were made in the EU, but only 84,000 were carried out,” underscoring the EU’s struggle with deportation inefficiency. This alarming 80% gap in enforcement signals to Orbán that Europe’s migration management is in urgent need of reform. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
