Save Europe Act gathers half‑million signatures as EU warns it conflicts with values

The Save Europe Act, a European citizen initiative promoted by right‑wing figures such as former Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán, has collected roughly 446,000 signatures across the EU. Organisers say the petition calls for a moratorium on migration from non‑European, non‑Western countries, tighter asylum rules, and a Europe‑wide framework for “remigration.”

The European Commission has reportedly warned that the proposal is likely to be rejected, arguing that the demand to protect “ethnic and cultural continuity” of native European peoples breaches EU Charter values and could be seen as discriminatory. Among the initiative’s early signatories are Hungarian politician Viktor Orbán, Slovak MEP Milan Uhrík, Spanish VOX leader Santiago Abascal, French Reconquête head Eric Zemmour and other right‑wing MEPs.

Signature counts show strong support in the Netherlands (about 62,000), Germany (41,000), Italy (36,000), Spain (29,000), France (24,000), the United Kingdom (23,000) and Hungary (20,000). Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek and Austrian activist Martin Sellner are also cited as organizers. The campaign argues that recent migration trends threaten social cohesion and cultural identity, while the Commission maintains the proposal conflicts with fundamental EU rights.
