Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 twelvemonth ago, Republic of Hungary together with Slovakia sued the European Union because of its plans to forcefully Islamize territories of all European Union fellow member countries, including Republic of Hungary together with Slovakia themselves. The determination well-nigh the "refugee quotas" was accepted yesteryear a bulk of the European Union countries but the dysfunctional policy is unacceptable for numerous European nations, including V4 – Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary.
Other V4 countries didn't bring together the lawsuit. On i hand, it looked unfortunate that nosotros wouldn't back upwards our Slovak together with Hungarian partners. On the other side, nosotros felt 95% sure that the European Court of Justice would side with the other key European Union authorities – so the whole appeal looked similar a futile effort. And create no fault well-nigh it, the European Court of Justice did side with the pro-Islamists yesterday. They said that the policy was "proportionate" together with a pocket-size bulk was plenty for the European Union to determine to plow Republic of Hungary together with Slovakia into some other Syrian Arab Republic despite the opposition of almost all citizens of these countries.
The reactions of Slovakia together with Republic of Hungary were strikingly different. Republic of Hungary replied that the determination of the courtroom was outrageous together with irresponsible, it was a political rape yesteryear the pr*cks inwards Brussels, together with the existent battle is precisely beginning. Slovakia responded yesteryear maxim that it completely respected the verdict although it nonetheless disagrees with the quotas.
Up to some moment, the dissimilar reactions could endure precisely a affair of dissimilar personalities. Slovaks are calmer, Hungarians are closer to the Balkans, you lot know, together with they mightiness hateful almost the same thing yesteryear these dissimilar words. Except that nosotros know it's non the case. Recently, The European Union has worked difficult to plow Slovakia – the smallest but key land within the Visegrád Group, together with the exclusively chemical constituent inwards the Eurozone-Visegrád intersection – into an obedient puppy, together with thus the "leader of V4", every bit the likes of Juncker would similar to set it.
Slovak prime number government minister Fico is an opportunist so he is playing a game of satisfying both the Slovak public, which doesn't desire a unmarried Muslim to endure accepted, together with Brussels, which would ideally similar to Islamize Slovakia together with plow it into some other Brussels or whatever is your instance of a house where the Islamization has crossed the trace of piece of occupation of irreversibility. I am non sure it's possible to reconcile these 2 dramatically dissimilar positions for long periods of time. By "respecting" the verdict, Fico's authorities basically said that it volition obey the orders of the European court. But those tin repeat "the duty to bring the total bundle [a one one thousand or more] of the migrants" according to the quotas. How tin it grip with Fico's promises made inwards some other judgement that he wouldn't e'er bring whatever migrants, or at most a few, together with goose egg is changing well-nigh his policies? His monologue seems self-contradictory to me.
Hey, masses of Muslim migrants, hither you lot receive got some reasons to avoid the Visegrád Group.
Czechia's reaction to the verdict, inwards which nosotros didn't participate, was somewhere inwards betwixt Slovakia's together with Hungary's. The prime number government minister together with the unusual government minister reiterated that the quota arrangement is dysfunctional, the planned numbers won't endure reached, together with it makes no feel to piece of occupation on this plan, write the numbers of migrants, together with practice other things. Also, the FinMin pointed out that the collaboration together with communication with Hellenic Republic together with Italia is basically impossible – at that topographic point are no adults inwards the room inwards these 2 nations.
To confirm this point, the familiar Greek commissar inwards the European Commission built on the ECJ determination together with repeated some fiscal threats. Be my guest, inexpensive Greek aßhole.
The ECJ determination could seemingly strengthen the authorization of the Eurosoviet institutions inwards Brussels – they grip with each other – but it is doing so for a heavy cost because it's eroding its ain credibility. The authorization of the European Court of Justice inwards countries similar V4 is non "ultimate" inwards whatever way, it is non a settled fact. The citizens – together with fifty-fifty most of the well-known politicians – haven't explicitly agreed with the authorization of this European court, peculiarly with far-reaching authorities such every bit "the correct to overwrite the national sovereignty". When politics evolves naturally, it commonly takes decades or centuries for the authorization of a sure courtroom or network of courts to construct upwards alongside those who are supposed to bring them seriously. And instead of edifice up, the authorization may deteriorate when things aren't going inwards the correct direction.
So the ECJ verdict that our countries acre don't desire to bring seriously volition erode the credibility of ECJ inwards other cases inwards the future, fifty-fifty inwards cases that are unrelated to the disputes well-nigh migration. Because the ECJ is supposed to play a role of a supreme courtroom inwards a would-be European state, the collapse of the ECJ credibility undermines a counterpart of the "rule of law" inwards the European would-be state. In other words, some European Union officials may gain some apparent short-term obedience or submission yesteryear some or all V4 countries but this obedience, submission, or harmony isn't existent together with this fact volition unavoidably travel apparent every bit fifty-fifty stronger disagreements inwards the long term. The intimidating European Union policies are extremely myopic.
You know, I practice believe that given a sure interpretation, the written European Union laws together with treaties practice allow the European Union to receive got approved things similar the quotas inwards particular, despite the disagreement of the countries. But I also recollect – together with observe it much to a greater extent than of import – that a arrangement where the overwhelmingly dominant volition of tens of millions of people on a rather well-defined territory (covering whole countries that receive got basically existed for centuries) well-nigh a inquiry they consider existential may endure beaten yesteryear decisions yesteryear unusual or unelected officials i one one thousand miles away only can't peacefully piece of occupation for likewise long. The courtroom should receive got ruled that such decisions must endure left to the nations which it also could, yesteryear interpreting sure rules well-nigh the qualified bulk vote inwards the Lisbon Treaty differently.
Czech president Zeman has reacted yesteryear maxim that he would prefer to sacrifice all the European Union subsidies if nosotros are going to endure able to proceed our terra firma out of the European Islamization schemes. This is actually a widespread together with strengthening take in within Czechia. The European Union redistribution together with subsidies are distorting the marketplace together with corrupting politicians inwards many ways – afterward all, Babiš' Stork Nest subsidy fraud is some other instance showing that much of the coin isn't ending at desirable places but inwards the pockets of those who know how to play this European Union game – together with it would hold off precisely fine to millions of Czechs, together with maybe a majority, to larn rid of these internet inflows which may endure equal to 1-2 pct of our gross domestic product (per the same period).
Needless to say, nosotros weren't actually offered this bargain so fifty-fifty this generous thought of Zeman isn't something that could endure considered OK inwards Brussels. But Brussels could endure forced to bring it seriously, anyway. We are rather probable to proceed on refusing whatever "Europe's shared" Muslim migrants inwards the future. What tin the European Union do? At most, it tin impose some economical sanctions, halt European Union funding etc. It may practice so but it volition receive got consequences – a farther alienation of the European Union.
If the inflows stopped or if nosotros were fifty-fifty forced to travel internet payers to the European Union coffers, well, the attractiveness of the European Union would drib significantly. In particular, most of Czechs are rather materially oriented so the fiscal flows within Europe may endure alongside the travel yesteryear criteria that determine how much they similar our membership inwards the European Union. The EU's approving charge per unit of measurement yesteryear Czechs is already lowest inwards the EU, good below 50% together with good below that of the Britons, so eroding it farther agency to dramatically growth the probability that some of import politico volition suggest the Czechout plebiscite together with its resultant volition almost certainly endure Leave.
This could receive got many consequences. In the Brexit talks, the European Union acts similar a classic corking (one of the problems of the Brexit talks is that the U.K., European Union are represented yesteryear the same man), but with a few to a greater extent than departures similar that, it could only lose the powerfulness to comport inwards this arrogant way. Our divergence would receive got safety consequences both for Eastern together with Western Europe. It is obvious that every bit nosotros would larn farther from Western Europe geopolitically, nosotros could larn closer – at to the lowest degree relatively speaking – to other powers, peradventure Russia, China, together with maybe the U.S. inwards novel Euro-American confrontations. If I were a Western European politician, I would endure really worried well-nigh these developments peculiarly because at that topographic point are many reasons to recollect that the clout of Western Europe is shrinking quickly.
Concerning the insanities inwards the EU, at that topographic point are lots of little things going on, too. Two days ago, some Greek agricultural officials reiterated the plans to claim the global or at to the lowest degree European monopoly over the production of the Greek yogurt. Holy cow. On Monday, I bought 1 kilogram of the Eridanous Greek yogurt inwards Lidl. Yes, it's some other bundle that has Greek churches without crosses.
I am pretty sure the content is identical to the content of the packages above, they hold off almost identical. Except that the bundle to a higher house says "Natural Greek yogurt". My bundle says "Greek-style yogurt" together with there's an extra "produced inwards Germany" to a higher house it. This comment certainly makes the "Greek" production to a greater extent than attractive together with non less attractive, at to the lowest degree inwards Czechia. ;-)
OK, so when the Greeks desire to insanely need the monopoly over the production of the Greek yogurt, why don't they start with the Germans? In Czechia, Polabské diary is the primary fellowship – together with peradventure the exclusively fellowship – that is producing a Greek yogurt. For some reasons that may endure related to the Greek hysteria, the page I precisely linked to was erased.
But recollect twice: What practice they actually want? Do they desire others to utilization other names of the product, or practice they desire to ban the usage of the "Greek" recipe for the yogurt everywhere exterior Greece? The one-time is a consummate misunderstanding of the "generic names" together with the actual value of the "Greek" create of nutrient products – the value is certainly null inwards Czech Republic together with if some consumers became fond of the "Greek" adjective, it's the resultant of the Czech diary's work, non whatever piece of occupation yesteryear whatever Greeks. The latter is an insanely ambitious destination that would endure equivalent to Pilsner Urquell's need that no other brewery inwards the the world produces the transparent "pils" sort of beer – which would endure actually tough because it amounts to 90% of beer produced inwards the the world now! Have you lot lost your mind, Greek loons? The Greek yogurt know-how is a laid of recipes that weren't fifty-fifty invented inwards Hellenic Republic (it was Middle East or Central Asia according to Wikipedia) together with they receive got been roughly – together with gradually updated – for thousands of years.
If the folks of Pilsen (or the electrical flow Japanese owners of the brewery) were naturally born parasites similar the Greeks, nosotros could attempt to ban "pils" produced exterior Pilsen. But would it endure fair? The beer wasn't fifty-fifty made yesteryear a Czech or a Japanese for the maiden of all time. It was made yesteryear a Bavarian worker who was hired yesteryear the wealthy Pilsner citizens. And he hasn't used precisely his know-how. He has used some pre-existing know-how of his virile someone nurture together with some other Bavarian beer know-how. Pilsen's soft H2O together with our supervision was essential but so were other things. The history of every production similar that is complicated together with it only doesn't justify whatever local monopoly over the product.
Also, Lidl apace surrendered together with promised to "change the packages" of the Greek-style products because of the moving ridge of complaints yesteryear the consumers together with politicians. It's ironic that the most intense – and, maybe, most consequential – protests against this bastardization of the Greek together with Christian heritage came from the secular Czechia. For us Czechs, it was mainly a protestation against manipulation, rewriting of the history together with the present, together with against the self-imposed censorship together with give upwards to the most intolerant exotic immigrants (it's actually the fundamentalist several pct of the Muslims inwards Europe who couldn't swallow a Greek Orthodox cross on packages – a grouping that is non likewise dissimilar from those who are preparing the Islamist terrorist attacks correct now).
The European Union every bit a whole every bit good every bit numerous European Union countries are losing their attachment to the roots of the European civilization, to Christianity, to the liberty of speech, together with other key principles together with values. Most of us don't desire to endure a component subdivision of this procedure together with this fact is to a greater extent than of import for us than a few pct of the gross domestic product – which may actually check to less than a year-long delay of the economical growth.
