Malin Björk (V): the EU is not a peace project

"Malin Björk (V): the EU is not a peace project,"

"It is the people's turn now, consider the Left party that until recently wanted to Sweden would leave EU. Now they go to the election on a radical change of the union and looks forward to a more equitable and climate-resilient Europe."

"– It is also the most effective antidote towards the extremist right-wing, " says toppkandidaten Malin Björk."

"the Party has paused, the requirement on EU-exit. The reason is the alarming climate crisis and the increasingly aggressive högernationalisterna, explains the party's top candidate who is now hoping for a further term in the EUROPEAN parliament."

"– They have decided to take over the EU institutions. And then, it is important to send stronger vänsterkrafter, " says Malin Björk, but at the same time stresses that the fundamental criticisms remain."

"the EU is not the peace project"

"That the union puts the interests of big companies freedom before the people and climate are continuing the party's view. Any peace project – as many argue that the EU is actually – know Birch is not of despite the fact that she lived almost 20 years in Brussels."

"– It is not what is first in sections. On the contrary, it stands in the Lisbon treaty that we should fix up. Aside from this, it becomes very naive and strange."

"instead of EU exit is now beating Vänsterpartisterna to on the large. The party wants each member state to introduce a progressive airline tax but also to a social protocol with the basic trade union freedoms and rights should be written into the EU's founding treaties."

"– We will switch up the work for climate justice, but it also goes hand in hand with a policy of greater equality, " says Birch."

"She explains that it also is the most effective antidote towards the extremist right-wing."

"– Europe are pulling apart and where sticking Left out. We have a different policy to push back the nationalist forces."

"V:s proposal is not yet on tap for the EUROPEAN parliament to take a position to tax matters is up to the member states to decide whether and to reform the EU's founding treaty is a very comprehensive process."

"But until then, the european Parliament has influence in a number of other issues, and Birch assure that she will pursue a tough line of equality and the climate no matter what it is."

"She says no to more free trade, no to the"

"– Now you have a black list, but no EU-countries is on the. There are things that need to be tightened up."

"When it comes to climate policy is very much focused on the EU's multiannual budget. Birch thinks that "

"But during the next parliamentary term, the EUROPEAN parliament also do so if the EU's emissions trading registry – and then want to vänsterpartisten to make it significantly more expensive to pollute."

"– the EU parliament will also look at energy efficiency legislation and the legislation regarding renewable, where we demanded a higher bar all the time. Now we hope that the other parties can come up with on the train."

"the left party's critical attitude towards the supra-nationalism makes itself felt when it comes to agricultural policy. Mep thinks that countries should decide their own agriculture and the same thing with social and housing policy."

"What applies to refugee and migration policy has vänsterpartisten, however, another view – that what is needed is more cooperation."

"Birch has devoted much time to the issue during the term of office, and it was she who worked in the EUROPEAN parliament's proposal for a european kvotflyktingsystem."

"A proposal which, however, is in a drawer because the member states cannot agree."

"– That you should do is to aktersegla the countries in the three years shown with all clarity that they do not want to be with, to instead form a coalition of willing countries. There are probably 15-20 that would be such a plan B, and we would like to see Sweden take the lead, " she says."

"Right now, there is instead an upgrading of the joint border protection agency Frontex. At the same time as the EU continues its criticized cooperation with Turkey and Libya."

"An unacceptable development, according to Birch."

"– It must be a priority to rather than get started a real livräddningsinsats."

"What question is top on the priority list?"

"– We will switch up the work for climate justice, but it also goes hand in hand with a policy for increased equality."

"Which committee would you like to sit in?"

" We will give priority to climate and environmental activities, gender equality, flyktingspolitiken and a good labour market. So we will try to negotiate to us influence in the committees."

"you Will report your kontorspengar in public?"

"– Yes, I will do so."
