“You fly and you see these windmills everywhere, ruin your beautiful fields and valleys and kill your birds, and if they are stuck in the sea, they are ruining their oceans.

“Stop the windmill, and also, I mean, there are some things that I can say, but on immigration, you will get your work in a better way or you are not going to Europe anymore.”

“Some people, some leaders have not allowed this to happen, and they are not getting proper credit they need.

“I could have given them the name with you right now, but I am not going to embarrass other people.

“But stop: This immigration is killing Europe.”
