Ok, so I have been reflecting over the EU. I know, that we have to get the process going, both the National as well as the Federalists are getting a bit impatient.
I do apologize, the reason why I have been unfocused on the issue, is simply my situation. It is very difficult to make political progress, when you are hard pressed, for different reasons.
So, maybe this pressure is lessening, and I can focus on trying to make a new plan for the EU?
If not, then we are really in trouble.
Anyway, there are actually several issues we have to figure out at once.
First issue is migration. I know, that it is a very difficult issue, yet, we have to figure out a way to make things work.
It is essentially a matter of balance. At one end, the democratic system has be to respected, and the other end the law and the civil rights has to be respected.
If the current system goes in the opposite direction of what it is doing today, it will bring a lot of problems with the migrants.
So a BALANCED view of migration is paramount.
I mean, migrants are people. Sometimes, migrants do not respect the law or our democratic institutions, that is not ok, and consequently the punishment for not respecting these institutions should be severe; remigration. Yet a perfectly lawful citizen, that work within the confines of our laws, should be respected.
This dual approach will make things simmer down, at least, this has been the case in Denmark. The same goes for the US, when things are more under control.
So this is really the core issue.
At the same time, we need to strengthen the nationstates AND the federal level, where it makes sense.
Energy is a political priority that makes sense to support a federal level strengthening, if the EU makes its own energy, it makes the continent much more secure in wartimes.
There is also a political constructional level, we have to think about. The qualities of the nationstate, like the royal houses and other specific national institutions should be secure.
If the EU wants to be accepted, it has to be a success.
So what we should do now, is look a bit for the potential successes.
G-d bless the will to make progress in the EU.
