A fair migration policy (Eine Gerechte Migrationspolitik)

In the future, I would like to see an improved migration policy. Among these, migration policy should be characterised primarily by social justice. This means that everything that is currently in violation of human rights in migration is to be dismantled. This human rights problem includes deportations back to their home country, although refugees have the right to asylum. The aim is therefore to create safe and legal means of escape, so that smugglers are also combated and vessels are not completely overcrowded. By doing so, it will lead to fewer victims in the Mediterranean and thus better respect for human rights.
It is also essential to reform EU asylum law and the Dublin agreement, as countries wishing to grant asylum to refugees should be able to do so, even if they did not first land in that country. This would greatly improve and speed up the reception process of refugees and migrants.
In order to be fair within EU Member States during a refugee crisis, the distribution of refugees should depend on the economic situation of the EU countries. This will be determined on the basis of the distribution key, so that more solidarity can be created between Member States when reception of refugees is hampered by high unemployment or stagnating GDP. It also aims to subsidise countries hosting refugees and reduce EU funding for those who refuse to do so.
The economic and social aspects of migration need to be taken into account in particular when the issue of integration arises. Segregation is to be dismantled within a city, e.g. the Banlieues, where a multicultural approach is taken so as not to create parallel societies. The state has to spend money to ensure that migrants can be integrated as much as possible through language courses, cultural learning and education, with a view to increasing the labour force in the nation in the long term, so that the country’s economic productivity can increase.
Finally, in the face of climate change, this migration policy must also be made compatible in a sustainable way. To make this possible first and foremost, refugee and migration policies will use the SDGs. If all of these were to be used in the refugee issue, social justice, the economic aspects and the sustainable side could be agreed very effectively. In order to be able to do so, the EU would then need to create a further legal framework to provide the legal basis for social justice, economic efficiency and sustainability.

Czy to bajka, czy nie bajka?

A better future... We drive electric cars, and electricity to them is provided by wind and nuclear power plants. Non-organic plastic replaced glass, in a garbage incineration plant with efficient filters made waste pits finally unnecessary. The air in Polish cities is suitable for breathing even in winter, and in summer we are not afraid of drought and lack of water. And instead of arming, we spend money on health protection and equal opportunities for children and adolescents. All this may be possible, but I'll put it between the fairy tales...

Den gröna framtiden

I would like to see a future where there has been a major change for the benefit of the environment and the future of the planet. Solar, wind and hydropower have replaced fossil energy sources. Buildings, houses, etc. are equipped to be self-sufficient both in terms of energy and, for example, basic raw materials such as potatoes and the like. Public transport has switched entirely to electric vehicles and there are incredible high-speed trains that can compete with flights between major cities.

Naturen er reddet

You have invented a technology that effectively breaks down CO2 from the atmosphere and you are back to a world without climate change. The gardens are healthy with beautiful coral reefs and full of fish. In the North there is winter with long periods of snow. Farther south in Europe there are rarer forest fires and normal amounts of rain that give good breeding. There are no climate refugees. They appreciate nature more and seek it out often. Animal welfare is also an important focus area and you eat less meat. Smartphones and computers are used less often, and you are less accessible by phone/mail both privately and at work.

Podróże w czasie

In 2040, the world looked very different than it did twenty years ago. Poland has become a peaceful, safe and united country around common values. The streets were clean, the cities well organized, and people lived in harmony, valuing their traditions and culture. There was an atmosphere of tranquility in the towns, with children playing in the backyards without fear, the elderly walking in the parks, and the neighbours knowing each other and helping each other in their daily lives. Local communities thrived and small family businesses thrived, supported by modern technologies and a conscious approach to the economy. There were no problems with crime or riots. The authorities have made sure that the country develops in a sustainable and safe way. Young people had good prospects – they could educate themselves at a high level, develop their passions and be sure that they would find a decent job. Thanks to a wise economic policy, Poland became self-sufficient – agriculture flourished, domestic companies produced modern technologies, and people enjoyed stability and prosperity. Society was united, proud of its history and ready to build the future in accordance with its own values. In the evening, sitting on the terrace of his house, John looked at the quiet streets and felt gratitude. He knew that his children were growing up in a world where they could feel safe, respect their roots and build a better future for generations to come.
