Kunne man ikke lave en The Trip med Lykke Friis og Lotte Mejlhede hvor de imiterer politikere ...

De kunne evt medbringe Marlene Wind og Ole Ryborg.

De skal jo kunne matche Claire Keelan og Marta Barrio i saftighed ...

Var det ikke mere nærliggende med Michael Dyrby og Ole Stephensen.

Spændende.

Omend ikke særligt overraskende.

Det var der ellers en del eksperter, der ikke mente. Her er i så fald syn for sagen.

Mon sådanne tal kunne gå hen og tænde yderligere flammer ala. Kurz rundt omkring i Europa?

Nå, jeg har da ellers for det meste læst, det blev antaget, at især EU-borgere ville forlade Storbritannien her over det næste stykke tid, hvilket tallene også fint viser - det er jo også kun logisk.

Jeg tror nu ikke, at disse tal vil inspirere andre lande. I Juni afholdte Pew en meningsmåling i ti EU-lande, og i ni af disse, var Unionens popularitet stigende (især blandt de unge). Det er kun i Italien, at tallet er dalende - men ikke i en sådan grad, at der er flertal for at hoppe ud af EU. Selv i traditionelt EU-skeptiske lande som Storbritannien og Grækenland, er der lige nu en opsving i popularitet. Det indikerer de franske og hollandske generalvalg også fint.

De fleste kan (heldigvis da) godt se, at én eller anden form for Union er en god idé, hvis man gerne vil være en aktør på verdensscenen. Jeg tror også, at de enorme økonomiske konsekvenser, Brexit har for UK, skræmmer noget mere, end en midlertidig nedgang i immigration lokker. Sidst men ikke mindst, er jeg enig med forskere som Christine Lagard, der hævder, at Brexit kan vise sig at være en enorm fordel for EU - formentlig større end det bliver for Storbritannien.

Shouldn´t we rather be finding legal ways for people to migrate to Europe in order to alleviate these problems in Libya?

Since 2014, and during the campaign for the European elections, and afterward, too, in my address to the European Parliament, I have always argued in favor of legal migration. I believe that if we don´t offer legal ways of emigrating to Europe, and immigrating within Europe, we will be lost. If those who come — who are, generally speaking, the poor and needy — are no longer able to enter the house of Europe through the front door, they´ll keep making their way in through the back windows. We need to create legal ways to come to Europe, and the Commission has already made suggestions. Europe will clearly need immigration in the coming decades, so we have to provide those who want to come, and are able to come, and whose situation makes it possible for them to come, with legal paths to get to Europe.

Why has there been so much resistance? Why have you not succeeded in implementing this idea?

We´ve told the member states of their responsibility, and we will see what the member states do about it. The member states, in their wisdom, don´t always follow the Commission´s proposals. In 2001, the Commission proposed a joint system to protect the external borders. The member states rejected it then, only to demand it now. And now we´ve implemented these joint controls of the external borders. When it comes to resolving the great challenges of our age, we have to leave it to the imagination of those who are governing the member states and nations. And immigration and migration is a great challenge of our age. It´s not just about preparing for the future; we should have prepared for the present yesterday.

Is fear of migration, as well as fear of populism, proving the death of reason among member states?

The populists themselves are dangerous, but they are far more dangerous when the traditional, classic parties adopt their harmful proposals. If the traditional parties follow the populists, they become populist themselves, which is a phenomenon we are already seeing in some EU countries. No, we should not be afraid of the populists; we should embrace those they are fighting.

That´s what should happen, but it´s not what is happening. Isn´t fear overcoming reason with regard to immigration?

No — there are the Commission´s proposals, which also have the backing of the European Parliament. Now it´s up to the member states to follow the path of wisdom.

You´ve called for more solidarity with Africa, not just solidarity among Europeans. Is this solidarity more than just financial?

Yes, but it´s a solidarity that must touch on all areas of international life. Africa must become aware of the fact that it is already, today, a big international player. Europe must not distance itself from Africa´s universal ambitions. Africa is not a continent that will become part of our history tomorrow. Africa has always been a part of history. Certain Europeans just didn´t see it that way.

Okay.

Der er valg i Italien på Søndag om en uge. Her støder man på udtalelser jeg ellers troede var forbeholdt de mest bindegalde amerikanske konservative.

Dagen efter skyderierne sagde Lega-formanden, Matteo Salvini, i et interview med det Berlusconi-ejede website Tgcom24, at hændelsen i Macerata burde ses som en ustabil mands følelsesbestemte handling mod den »ukontrollerede« indvandring og skylden på venstrepartierne.

»Der er nogle på venstrefløjen, der ønsker at erstatte italienere med immigranter, fordi de har brug for slavearbejdere. Jeg går derimod ind for et fornuftsbaseret ordenssamfund med regler,« sagde Salvini.

Det er selvfølgelig ikke overraskende at indvandring står højt på dagsordenen, men jeg kan godt synes det er en anelse bekymrende, at 2/4 partier (af de jeg kan forstå bliver valgets store vindere) er decideret EU-modstandere, og det 3. parti er styret af Berlusconi.
Migrationskrisen løses selvfølgelig ikke bare sådan, og jeg forstår godt at man i Italien er træt af at vente på en løsning, men hvad er det man forventer der sker såfremt man skulle trække sig ud af EU (det er vel for at blive fri for at skulle overholde EUs regler på området, så man kan sende dem hjem man vil). Man kan sende folk hjem, men man lukker vel ikke rigtigt for ruten af den grund, og Italien bliver vel stadig et populært landingsted for flygtninge, da alternativet vel er Grækenland og hele balkanruten, der efterhånden er lukket ned.
