Credo

Given that programa discussion inspire a lot of people to plunge into deep conceptual discussions, my chance to ventialte a credo online. Three issues, less than hundred words each. Think about it, enjoy it or have plain fun:

Open societies

The world is open and there is much to gain from it. Universities should invest more in exchange of scientists. High schools should recruit their staff internationally. Basic schools should teach about the wide world outside.
National governments should become leaner. Discuss in Europe what belongs to Europe: national security and migration. Do not forget the interests of the people that elects, but do not make national policies that are better discussed and implemented in international contexts.

Sustainable societies

The mayor threat of our age is our mismanagement of the environment. There is knowledge that has to be supported. Bring environmental scientists in the light of political debate. The existent knowledge is not enough, thought: direct mayor funding to development of alternative ways of transport and energy. Claim back environment in the political stage. And discuss environment where it belongs. It is an international issue, and the worse is not occurring in europe, but abroad. Funds and knowledge matter there, not here. Bring people, send research.

Impoverished societies

Look around in any european city. Outsiders to the labor market exist and keep on being a decisive element of the political debate. Look forward and you will see fault lines along ethnic groups. Look forward and recognize that the problem also appears in between the city and the countryside, in between the educated and the non-educated, in between generations. The core business of the left is the fight against social, economical and political exclusion. Enjoy the shine of our current welfare, and be happy organizing concerts, going to trendy television programs, and collaborating to the elite of alternative media. But forget not, our choice are the poor. What are we doing with them and for them?
