Representatives of all events and actions which might be working for the European Parliament (EP) this 12 months are progressively getting area on ČT24. Zuzana Majerová, chairwoman of the Trikolora celebration and EP candidate for the SPD and Trikolora, mentioned in an interview that she would vote sure in a potential referendum on leaving the EU, however in response to her, the Czech Republic wouldn’t be capable to afford this act by itself. It want to discover settlement in cooperation with different nations of the previous Japanese bloc. She additionally mentioned that Trikolora completely essentially rejects the migration pact.
How do you consider our EU membership after twenty years?
I believe that if the European Union functioned because it was initially supposed, i.e. as an financial union based mostly on the free motion of products, providers and capital, then the whole lot could be advantageous. In these twenty years, nevertheless, the European Union has turn into a political undertaking that strives an increasing number of for federalization, for a so-called superstate on the expense of depriving the states of their rights. Both the veto or different issues that intrude with the sovereignty of particular person states. Our candidate quantity three – SPD and Trikolora – is important of this. We additionally need residents to have the proper and alternative to precise their opinion on leaving the European Union within the referendum.
Will Trikolor additionally assist the Czech Republic leaving the European Union, or is it primarily a referendum?
As I’m a necessary democrat, it’s the will of the those that decides, however I already voted in opposition to it in 2003. For those who requested me for my private opinion, how I’ll vote, I’d positively vote for exit, as a result of with what we observe right here, with how the EU takes away any of our autonomous rights, I don’t assume it’s good to stay in it from from the viewpoint of financial, financial, agricultural, lifestyle.
After all we will not be the one ones. We’ve been speaking for a very long time about the truth that if the residents had been to precise themselves within the referendum in favor of leaving, then it’s mandatory for us to cooperate with others on this regard, with the V4 nations, plus the nations of the Balkans. Though the Czech Republic is a wonderful pearl in the midst of Europe, it’s too small to have the ability to afford this act by itself.
How would you get different nations to affix this broader bloc?
I believe it isn’t a query of getting somebody to do one thing, it is a query of negotiation, a query of technique. The nations of the previous Japanese Bloc have an virtually an identical view of what’s taking place within the EU, so I believe we’ll discover settlement. The SPD and the Tricolor have lengthy been anchored within the Eurosceptic Identification and Democracy faction within the European Parliament, the place Matteo Salvini, Marine le Pen or Geert Wilders are additionally representatives of different nations. They’ve the identical view. After twenty years, as a coalition of the SPD and the Tricolor and as a faction that’s conservative and Eurosceptic within the European Parliament, we have now an excellent likelihood to outnumber the twenty-year dominance of socialists and progressive populists.
Which three matters do you think about to be a very powerful on this election?
Completely basic rejection of the concurrently adopted migration pact, gradual cancellation of your entire Inexperienced Deal coverage, beginning with emission allowances. Withdrawal from the Leipzig Inventory Change. We essentially disagree with the ban on combustion engines, in addition to with the power effectivity of buildings. It’s, after all, additionally the preservation of the Czech crown, our proper of veto, and powerful diplomatic stress to resolve the battle in Ukraine by means of peaceable means.
What do you wish to promote within the European Parliament and what do you wish to stop?
As a girl and a mom, I believe that the precedence within the lives of all of us is life itself. Due to this fact, I believe that it is vitally essential to exert most stress on a diplomatic resolution to the battle that’s happening in Ukraine. To succeed in some form of consensus on each side of the battle, as a result of it’s greater than mandatory for the individuals of Ukraine.
Moreover, we’ll exert stress in opposition to the federalization of the European Union as such. Personally, as a former instructor, I believe that it’s mandatory to forestall the efforts of progressives and the so-called woke tradition to ideologize schooling, which may be very dangerous. We are going to struggle additional restrictions on state sovereignty by eradicating additional veto rights. And there’s primarily the migration pact, which is essentially threatening to our republic as such. For our tradition, group, nation.
Ought to the European Union broaden? Whom to simply accept, who not and why?
On condition that one among our agenda objects is the proper to a referendum on withdrawal, I very a lot hope that the EU, due to our stress, will implode from inside within the medium time period. So, if different nations within the medium time period want to affix it – that is Serbia now – then I’d personally advise them to not be part of the European juggernaut.
What would change the European Union if it imploded?
I believe that the lengthy inactive precept of the European financial system was the one appropriate one. I believe that what ought to change the EU could be some European widespread economic system working on the trade of providers, items and capital, however with the preservation of nation states together with their sovereignty.
What ought to change the migration pact if it had been to be rejected?
Trikolora has been speaking about its rejection since its very basis in 2019, the SPD even earlier. Since 2015, nothing has modified in our views, in distinction to the views of the present Czech authorities. Our actions converse the identical, we don’t change our rhetoric. It’s absurd that after twenty years within the EU, simply because the Czech Republic is presiding, it initiates the approval of the migration pact, which everyone knows nicely that the Minister of the Inside Vít Rakušan (STAN) lied about that it doesn’t comprise quotas. It accommodates quotas. He lied about negotiating a waiver. He did not negotiate.
The exception is mostly worded, but it surely’s there.
The exception applies to all EU nations.
However that doesn’t exclude the Czech Republic.
Nevertheless, he spoke explicitly about an exception for the Czech Republic, which is a god-damned lie. Let’s be particular. I don’t want for the Czech Republic to pay any quantity of gasoline prices for the migration that has been happening right here since 2015, when there have been round 1,000,000 individuals yearly, when the Czech Republic would account for 3 % of these quotas. That makes fifteen billion a 12 months.
The migration pact is one thing we completely reject, which ought to by no means have seen the sunshine of day. It is extremely unhappy that this authorities, with its initiative, participated within the approval of the migration pact and now abstained from voting as an alibi, as a result of the election marketing campaign is underway. It’s nothing greater than a instrument of the superstates, be it Germany or France, which have lengthy been unable to handle migration of their nations, to show the Czech Republic into an space the place migrants who’re not manageable of their nations are resettled.
However the migration pact doesn’t rely on that in any respect.
Migrants who will all the time be assigned to you in so-called moments of disaster – and that second of disaster is when the European Fee thinks {that a} disaster has occurred – will probably be assigned with none approval.
That is not true both. It’s anticipated that within the occasion of a disaster, a member nation should perform an asylum process with migrants who’re already on its territory. Not that anybody will relocate.
Asylum proceedings imply that it’s a matter of whether or not the particular person will be capable to keep right here completely or not. Nevertheless, the particular person is already right here. Based mostly on my expertise since 2015, I wish to say that though it’s good how it’s written, the fact is sadly totally different. We see it in Germany, France, Sweden.
Is not it scaring the residents by saying that somebody goes to pour in loads of migrants right here, when it isn’t true?
How is that not true? The migration pact kind of denies the fundamental precept of the Schengen space, which ought to have enshrined the safety of the exterior border. It hasn’t labored for a very long time. If it labored, we would not must take care of this subject in any respect.
Ought to the European Union proceed to assist Ukraine? How?
I’m a basic pacifist, so I’ll by no means assist any struggle within the sense of supplying items and supplies. To start with, I wish to say that we should push as a lot as potential for a diplomatic finish to this battle. Inside this battle, I’m in favor of serving to Ukrainian residents, however not the Ukrainian regime. And supplying weapons and cash to a rustic that till not too long ago was one of the crucial corrupt is totally pointless. I don’t want for a struggle to be waged to the final Ukrainian, which we personally assist with the fixed provide of weapons. If the lads residing in Ukraine felt that it was their struggle, they’d not have been fleeing of their hundreds throughout the western and different borders for a number of months. Slovakia can be feeling the present rush.
What in regards to the Inexperienced Deal for Europe?
When something is constructed on a nasty basis, like a home, ultimately it’s going to collapse. The Inexperienced Deal was by no means constructed to be about nature conservation, regardless that it has the phrase inexperienced in its title. Because it destroys the economic system, agriculture, the economic system, individuals’s residing requirements and will increase the costs of power and ultimate items, we have now argued from the start that it must be abolished.
We have to begin with emission allowances, that are solely a speculative instrument, leaving the Leipzig inventory trade, stopping inner combustion engines from ending in 2035, and stopping the so-called power effectivity of buildings from being enforced, which might make it fully inconceivable for individuals to perform in any approach with property, which is of their possession. The Inexperienced Deal is merely a instrument for the wealthy to get richer and the poor to get poorer.
Ought to the Czech Republic undertake the euro?
We’ve all the time been supporters of preserving the Czech crown. The ODS has lengthy since deserted this subject, however Trikolora has been speaking about it since 2019, as has the SPD. Any economist will let you know that the euro isn’t an financial instrument, solely a political one. I do not know of a single nation that has adopted the euro that the usual of residing in that nation has elevated after the years that the euro has had it. Fairly the opposite.
Sooner or later, the Czech Republic will turn into a internet payer within the Union, which implies that we are going to pay greater than we obtain. As a politician, how would you want to elucidate to those that they need to subsidize the extra backward areas of the Union on the expense of their very own?
Contemplating that our perspective in direction of the EU is only Eurosceptic, there isn’t a different approach for me to reply apart from that I don’t assume that we should always turn into internet payers to the EU, the place cash is disappearing within the budgets. I’m, after all, essentially in opposition to it.
