Refugees

DiEM25 promotes an Open Europe that is alive to ideas, people and inspiration from all over the world, recognising fences and borders as signs of weakness spreading insecurity in the name of security.

“Winning votes by erecting fences and violating international law on refugees is the last resort of politicians ready to sacrifice their nation’s integrity for their own miserable petty reasons.”

He also reveals to non-economist progressives the kind of theoretical weaponry that the establishment has at it disposal. A must read!
