Over the last few years, migration has led to more disputes and disagreements within the EU. In addition, many are increasingly criticising the inhumane treatment of migrants at EU borders. I would therefore like to see an improvement in migration policy in the EU for the future. At the political level, I want the Dublin agreement to be renewed so that a common asylum procedure between EU countries can be established and more secure means of escape can be developed. It also aims to ease the situation in the main neighbourhoods, such as Italy, Spain or Greece, and to ensure a fairer distribution of refugees according to the economic situation, the unemployment rate and already receiving migrants between countries. I hope that countries that have agreed to host Aquis refugees upon accession to the EU will also receive a fair share of refugees. I would also like to see the integration of migrants improved so that they also have the opportunity to realise their potential and participate in society. In addition, awareness-raising should increase the willingness to receive migrants. Prejudices, such as the removal of local jobs by migrants, lead to rejection and right-wing populist movements. I therefore find it very important to revise the EU’s refugee policy. Because because of the negative population growth in Europe, we need migration to preserve the intergenerational contract and our economic prosperity. A successful refugee policy and integration are essential for a better future.

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.

A future with people who care.

It is clear that the health of planet Earth and its inhabitants should become the top priority for all government institutions. Technological advances are impressive and incredible already at the arrival of 2022, it seems to me that all these advanced research should be geared towards a greener and healthier future for humanity. Smart Money controls more than 95 % of global wealth and it is up to them to act for the good of all. For those who make up them and who make a profit to the detriment of the ecology and human health, they get a ball in the foot. Our planet’s resources are depleting and they will end up realising that the green transition is imminent. In 2040, I hope that we will have access to a cleaner and more powerful energy source, including the international ITER project and then DEMO that will follow, which will allow us to have a more prosperous and ecological future in terms of energy manufacturing. From a political point of view, efforts still need to be made, particularly in the mindsets of our governors, many of which lack compassion, realism and altruism towards their people. As a French, I feel that many countries such as my own suffer some violations of citizens’ freedoms and inconsistencies with the Declaration of Human and Citizens’ Rights. The money collected by governments and Smart Money is distributed in areas which, in my view, are not a global and humanitarian priority. The distribution of wealth in military areas is disproportionate to the real needs of humanity. I am working in this military industry and this has enabled me to become aware of this.
