- The End of solidarity? The return of the national though in Europe.
- Das Ende der Gemeinsamkeit? Die Rückkehr des nationalen Gedankens in Europa.
- Expert panel
- Sunday, 12.02.2017,
- Schauspiel Leipzig,
- Moderation Dr. Jens Bisky, Feuilleton SZ
- sadly not that well attended, maybe 80-100 people
- there was no introduction about how the evening is playing out, the aim of this talk was not given
- all people on the panel had the same opinion
- the moderator didn't, at least that's how I saw it, really had a list of questions prepared, it was more a "I asked one question and let's see were we are going"
- the panel stopped very abruptly, not giving the attendes a chance to say closing words
- there was no Q&A
- hate speech is also a major problem in Poland
- liberal environment minister who cuts down trees from jungle
- EU flags get removed from government buildings, but people buy them themselves
- they do have a problem with smog:
- Róża Thun: "Why PiS is fighting smog? Because thanks to smog, people are afraid to leave the streets" (Translated by Google Translate, Original)
- impossible for Le Pen to win, Marcon wins the elections
- Political claims that came up:
- increase the EU household to 5% of GDP, in comparision to US with 27% of GDP and current 1%, for beeing able to buffer differences better
- create EU agency that is looking for volunteers on all hierarchical levels to circumvent the opposition of state governments and use good will
- create possibility for 2 Mio. people EU wide per year to travel to another country, since studies show (no source, sorry) that 40% of them end up in inter-country relationship with kids
