Tuesday Things - Part 2

As Tuesday afternoon slips into evening, here are some more things going on:

From Free West Media, a member of an "anti-immigration" party wins a seat in the left-dominated Portuguese parliament.  (I put quotes around the term "anti-immigration", because while it implies opposition to all immigration, it often really means opposition to an unlimited influx of unvetted migrants or illegal aliens, or simply opposing having your country's borders completely open.)

From The Portugal News, Portuguese police work to dismantle an illegal immigration network.  (At least some Portuguese authorities take illegal immigration seriously.)















From Romania-Insider, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis asks National Liberal Party leader Ludovic Orban to form a new government.  (That's right.  Not only does Hungary have an Orban, but so does Romania.  A meeting between the two will certainly be interesting.)

From Russia Today, the Russian defense ministry suggests establishing a new holiday called Russian America Day.  (That might go over well in the Diomede Islands.)











From Voice Of Europe, a bomb is detonated outside a police station in Staffanstorp, Sweden.  (If you read Swedish, read the story at Kvälls Posten.)











From the Irish Examiner, the key players in the U.K.'s efforts to make a Brexit deal.  (One of them is indeed Irish.)
