Eva Vlaardingerbroek says the campaign behind the Save Europe Act is moving forward with a new phase of organizing after receiving what she described as a warning from the European Commission that the initiative could be rejected.
In a video posted to X, Vlaardingerbroek said the campaign had received "a letter from the Commission in which they've threatened to reject the Save Europe Act." The Commission argued that the proposal's goal of limiting non-Western immigration is "manifestly contrary" to the right of non-discrimination and conflicts with what it describes as European values.
Vlaardingerbroek said the campaign now plans to expand its efforts and hold a demonstration in Brussels later this month.
"So our response is clear. We are not backing down. We're not taking one word back of the Save Europe Act. We are doubling down," she said. Vlaardingerbroek said that supporters who have already signed up through the campaign's website would be informed first about its next steps if the proposal is formally rejected.
"When they really do reject our proposal, we have our next step ready. We will become their worst nightmare," she said.
A huge focus of the announcement was the campaign's growth and plans to mobilize supporters across Europe. Vlaardingerbroek said approximately 400,000 people have already signed the initiative.
"The Save Europe Act is not just an initiative. It has grown into a movement. About 400,000 European citizens have already signed our campaign," she said.
She added that roughly 100,000 supporters have volunteered to take a more active role.
"And even more remarkable, 100,000 every fourth has already pledged to become active in our campaign. You've heard it right. 100,000 Europeans want to become active in the Save Europe Act."
According to Vlaardingerbroek, those volunteers will soon begin distributing campaign materials throughout European cities.
"With the help of that army of volunteers, you will soon be seeing posters, flyers, stickers, you name it, of the Save Europe Act in European cities. The very cities that we are trying to save."
She also announced that campaign organizers intend to travel to Brussels on July 15 and deliver the signatures collected so far.
"We are not waiting for the invitation. On the 15th of July, we will go to Brussels. And we're taking all of your signatures with us," she said.
Vlaardingerbroek argued that increasing public participation is central to the campaign's strategy.
"We know that rational arguments don't convince them. The only thing that convinces them is the sheer amount and the number. The silent majority needs to get active. We need your help."
She concluded by urging supporters to continue signing and promoting the initiative.
"Sign it now. Share it. Convince your friends and family. Because only together can we make this movement too big to ignore. Only together can we make re-migration happen. And only together can we save Europe."
In her X post, Vlaardingerbroek said the European Union was threatening to reject the Save Europe Act because preserving "the ethnocultural continuity of Europe's native peoples is racist and goes against 'European values.'"
