Poland, Romania foil Russian exploding parcels plot, Warsaw says. Let’s be honest, calling this anything less than a terrorist attack is just playing games. This isn’t just a sneaky operation; it’s a deliberate attempt to inflict harm, plain and simple. It’s terrorism, and it’s happening on European and NATO soil.

President Trump’s announcement of designating antifa as a “major terrorist organization” has raised questions due to antifa’s decentralized nature and lack of formal structure. Experts note that the president lacks the authority to designate domestic terrorist organizations. The potential implications of this designation remain unclear, though it could potentially lead to increased scrutiny and investigations by law enforcement. However, some experts fear that such a designation may infringe on free speech rights and potentially raise Fourth Amendment concerns regarding surveillance.

Following the U.S. model, Hungary will designate antifa as a terrorist organization, as announced by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. This decision comes in response to the same policy announced by former U.S. President Donald Trump. Orbán’s decision was likely prompted by a 2023 incident involving antifascist activists, which led to the imprisonment of Italian activist Ilaria Salis. Orbán criticized the activists, particularly Salis, who was later released, highlighting the need for this classification.

Following the lead of the United States, the Dutch parliament has passed a motion proposed by Geert Wilders, advocating for the designation of Antifa as a terrorist organization. The motion cites alleged threats against politicians, disruption of events, and intimidation tactics by Antifa cells within the Netherlands.
