To solve immigration with “European solidaritysaid the German Chancellor Olaf Soltz Speaking at the plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

“In the end, there must be a solution in line with European solidarity, but this solidarity will not be the result of the action of the Holy Spirit. I am fighting to complete the progress we have made on the asylum system ahead of the European elections, and that has been hard work in the Council. Your agreement a month ago in this direction was very important. Now we must complete this work with all our might, and we are bringing it to the end,” Mr. Solts said.

The German Chancellor added that the problem of illegal immigration can be solved without European Union let go of your values.

“We can better take advantage of the next one. In many parts of Europe we also urgently need workers from third countries. If we create such legal immigration, in an orderly manner and with the consent of those citizens who are not allowed to stay, then it will be mutually beneficial. Also here we need measures for the effective protection and protection of borders, as we agreed at the European Council in February. This is how the adoption of intelligently coordinated and controlled immigration policies is growing,” he said.

At the same time, Olaf Soltz mentioned more decisions in the Council by qualified majorities on foreign policy and taxation.

“In this direction, I will continue to try to convince and I am very grateful to you for the broad support from your own line and I want to say to the skeptics: unanimity, 100% does not mean greater democratic legitimacy. Opposite. It is the search and persecution and confrontation of the majority and unions that characterize us as democrats,” he stressed, and also focused on respect for democratic principles and the rule of law in the EU.

For UkraineThe German Chancellor stressed that support for Ukraine will continue as long as necessary.

Finally, Olaf Soltz stated that “no one wants to go back to the time when the law of the strong ruled in Europe, when small states had to obey the big ones, when freedom was the privilege of the few, and not the basic, fundamental right of all. Our EU, with its diversity, is the best guarantee that this past will not return, and therefore today’s message on May 9 is not what is heard from Moscow, but our message is: the past will not triumph. future spending. The future, our future is the EU.”
