In a scathing critique of the European Union’s immigration policies, President Ricardo Baretzky of the European Centre for Information Policy and Security (ECIPS) has voiced grave concerns about what he deems the looming “civilizational collapse” of Europe due to the laxity of border controls and the erosion of traditional values. Baretzky, whose agency holds official status as a European Union Intelligence Agency by Royal Decree WL22/16.594 and Treaty EST124 Council of Europe, has joined voices with US Vice President J.D. Vance, echoing a stark warning delivered at the Munich Security Conference earlier this year.

An Urgent Call to Action

Baretzky’s comments come at a critical juncture in Europe’s ongoing immigration debate. His warnings are not only political but cultural, calling into question the very fabric of European identity. According to Baretzky, Europe is on the precipice of a catastrophic collapse—a decline he attributes to the unchecked flow of illegal migrants and the erosion of the continent’s cultural and religious foundations.

“I fully agree with Vice President Vance’s statement about the EU being on the brink of ‘civilizational suicide,’” Baretzky declared in a recent interview. “The reckless abandonment of border controls and the accompanying wave of illegal immigration will eventually lead to irreversible damage, not only to the continent’s security but to the very essence of what Europe represents.”

This dire prediction is rooted in a deep sense of concern about the social, political, and cultural ramifications of unchecked immigration. Baretzky warns that Europe, once the beacon of Western civilization and Christian values, is transforming into something unrecognizable. “The Europe we see today is vastly different from the Europe that shaped the world,” he said. “What was once a Christian civilization is rapidly becoming something far removed from its origins. We must remember that the Christian values which shaped the founding of the United States of America stemmed directly from the European heritage. If that heritage continues to erode, so too will the principles upon which the modern world was built.”

Echoing Past Warnings

Baretzky’s concerns are not new. In fact, they hark back to a warning issued at the African Counter Terrorism Summit held in February 2014, which was convened by the Metropolitan Police. The summit had addressed the pressing issue of illegal migration from Africa into Europe and its associated security threats. Back then, experts, including Baretzky, had sounded the alarm on the dangers posed by large-scale illegal migration, predicting that Europe was on the verge of losing its cultural and historical identity.

“We warned of the massive illegal migration problems to come, issues that, if not addressed, could result in the loss of European heritage. Now, nearly 10 years later, we see that the dire predictions are becoming a reality,” Baretzky reflected. “Europe has become more akin to a Muslim state than a bastion of Christian civilization.”

His remarks underscore the growing unease about the demographic shifts taking place across the continent. As migration from predominantly Muslim countries continues to rise, some feel that the core values of European society—values that have long been anchored in Christianity—are at risk of being overwhelmed. These shifts, Baretzky believes, have profound implications not just for the identity of Europe but for its security.

The Dangers of Eroding Cultural and Religious Bonds

Baretzky argues that the collapse of cultural and religious bonds is the root cause of the security risks that Europe now faces. The Christian religious ties that have historically bound European nations together are weakening, and with that weakening, the continent’s capacity to maintain security, social cohesion, and stability is rapidly deteriorating. “Cultural bonds are the bedrock of security,” he said. “Without shared values, without a common foundation, we risk fracturing into chaos. This is not just a political problem, it’s an existential one.”

The fundamental challenge, according to Baretzky, is that Europe’s leaders have failed to recognize the magnitude of this threat. Instead of prioritizing the preservation of European culture, history, and values, many European governments have chosen to placate the political left by advocating for open-border policies and multiculturalism. These policies, Baretzky believes, have not only failed to address the core issues of illegal migration but have also exacerbated tensions within European societies, leading to a growing sense of disenfranchisement among native populations.

“The situation is dire. The European Union is pushing for a form of utopian multiculturalism, where every culture is treated equally, regardless of its compatibility with European traditions,” Baretzky said. “This misguided approach is threatening the very foundation of our civilization. We are close to the tipping point where this policy could lead to irreversible damage. Once we reach that point, it may be too late to undo the consequences.”

Baretzky’s warnings are particularly pointed in light of Europe’s ongoing struggles with integration. Critics argue that many immigrants, particularly those from Muslim-majority countries, have not assimilated into European society but instead have formed isolated communities, sometimes leading to radicalization and increased security risks. Baretzky’s remarks suggest that these tensions are rapidly escalating, and that Europe risks descending into a situation similar to that of war-torn regions such as Syria or Gaza, where societal structures have all but collapsed.

A Looming Crisis: The Impact of Illegal Migration

At the heart of Baretzky’s concerns is the issue of illegal migration. According to the ECIPS, the number of illegal migrants currently residing in Europe is estimated to be around 25 million—a staggering figure that has serious implications for the continent’s future. “The number of illegal migrants in Europe is a ticking time bomb,” Baretzky warned. “If we do not take decisive action now, the consequences could be catastrophic.”

The sheer scale of illegal migration, coupled with the EU’s inability or unwillingness to enforce strict border controls, has led to an unsustainable situation. Baretzky argues that Europe’s current trajectory is untenable. “We are nearing a breaking point,” he said. “If this trend continues, we could see an explosion of social unrest, violence, and even civil war. The collapse of European security will not be a slow process—it will be sudden and devastating.”

To prevent this looming disaster, Baretzky insists that immediate action must be taken. The solution, he argues, lies in reversing current immigration policies and deporting millions of illegal migrants currently residing in the EU. “We must take drastic steps to reclaim control of our borders. We cannot afford to wait any longer,” he said. “The only way to preserve European civilization is to stop the illegal migration wave and restore our cultural and religious foundations.”

A Call for Political Courage

Baretzky’s statement is a call to action for European leaders, urging them to abandon the politically correct, multicultural agenda in favor of a pragmatic approach that prioritizes the security and identity of European nations. His message is clear: Europe must return to its roots—both culturally and religiously—if it hopes to avert a future of chaos and destruction.

“This is not just a political debate. It’s a question of survival. If Europe loses its identity, it loses everything,” Baretzky concluded. “We need leaders with the courage to stand up for what made Europe great in the first place—our Christian heritage, our shared values, and our commitment to freedom and security.”

In the coming years, Europe will face difficult decisions. The path forward is fraught with challenges, but according to Baretzky, the alternative is unthinkable. If Europe does not act now to stem the tide of illegal migration and defend its cultural heritage, it risks losing everything it holds dear.

As the continent grapples with the growing pressure of migration and internal division, the warning from Baretzky is stark and urgent. The fate of European civilization may well depend on the decisions made in the coming months. Will Europe find the courage to preserve its identity, or will it succumb to the forces of cultural dilution and societal collapse?
