Blue Lives Matter flag deemed ‘racist,’ ordered to come down
A Florida woman is being told to take down her Blue Lives Matter flag that’s been flying for several years now by her homeowners association.
Jeff Gaddie told Action News Jacksonville that his daughter in St. Johns County has been flying the flag to honor him and many other family members who are law enforcement.
“She called to ask why,” Gaddie said. “They told her they had received a complaint that it was considered racist, offensive and anti-Black Lives Matter,” he said.
The association asked the woman, who did not want to be identified for fear of backlash, to submit a request for permission to fly the flag, which has since been denied.
Action News Jacksonville reached out to the First Coast Association Management, which said only American and military-themed flags are allowed to fly in the neighborhood, even though there are other types of flags flying.
Gaddie says the flag is only a show of support and the family is planning to appeal the decision at the next homeowner’s association meeting.
I seem to recall that police officers aren’t all a of single race. Yet, nothing can change how a flag supporting law enforcement just has to, got to, be “waycist!!!”
What a great way to ensure that one of America’s least responsible and most psychologically immature ethnic minorities will continue to remain in a state of “arrested” development. (pun intended)
Five months, eight prominent Russians dead
NR: Call me cynical, but long ago I stopped believing in coincidences. Especially when they take place in such a short time frame.
Washington (CNN) – The brazen daytime slaying of a Russian politician outside a Ukrainian hotel this week brings to eight the number of high-profile Russians who have died over the past five months since the US presidential election on November 8. Among the recent deaths were five Russian diplomats. Some of the deaths appeared natural and governments have ruled out foul play. In some cases, though, questions remain. That’s either because the facts have changed over time, details are hard to come by, or the deaths are still under investigation. Self-proclaimed online sleuths and conspiracy theorists have filled the information void with speculation that the deaths were somehow related to Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. No evidence has surfaced to make such a connection. Here’s a rundown of the eight deaths—and one near fatality:
Russian politician who fled to Ukaine [sic] shot dead
Denis Voronenkov, 45, was gunned down Thursday outside a hotel in Kiev. Voronenkov and his wife both spoke out against Putin after they left Russia for Ukraine in October. Voronenkov also helped Ukraine in its ongoing fight against Russian influence, testifying in a treason trial against ex-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, who was perceived as a puppet politician for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ukraine’s president called the shooting a “Russian state terrorist act.” Russian authorities denied the accusation.
Russian ambassador to the UN suddenly dies
Vitaly Churkin, 64, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations, died on February 20 of an apparent heart attack. He was “in his office fulfilling his duties” when he died, according to a statement from the Russian mission at the UN.
Russian ambassador to India dies after brief illness
Alexander Kadakin, 67, the Russian ambassador to India, died on January 26. A spokeswoman for the Russian embassy in New Delhi said that Kadakin died after a short illness and that there was nothing “special or extraordinary” about the circumstances that led to his death. Kadakin had worked in India since 2009. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi described him as “a great friend of India” who worked hard to strengthen relations between the two countries.
Russian diplomat found dead in Athens
Andrey Malanin, a senior diplomat at the Russian embassy in Greece, was found dead in early January. Malanin, 54, was the head of the Russian embassy’s consular section in Athens. Police sources told CNN that worried colleagues called authorities after Malanin didn’t show up to work for a few days. Police entered his apartment on January 9th and found him dead on his bedroom floor. Initial reports from Greek police suggested Malanin died suddenly from natural causes. Two Greek police officials said foul play was not suspected. An investigation remains underway.
Former intelligence official found dead in his car
Oleg Erovinkin, who had close ties to Russian intelligence, was found dead on December 26 sitting in his car on the streets of Moscow. Russian news outlets reported that he was 61 years old. Russian government agencies have not released an official cause of death. He was a former general in the Russian law enforcement and intelligence agency known as the FSB. He also served as chief-of-staff to Igor Sechin, the president of state-owned oil giant Rosneft. Sechin enjoys a close relationship with Putin that dates back to the 1990s. Because of Erovinkin’s background, conspiracy theorists and Russia watchers have speculated that he might have been a source of information in the 35-page dossier that detailed alleged links between the Trump campaign and Russia. No evidence has emerged to firmly substantiate those claims.
Diplomat fatally shot in back
Russian ambassador to Turkey, Andrey Karlov, 62, was assassinated in Ankara on December 20. He was shot at point-blank range by a gunman while speaking at an art exhibition. The shooter, who was a Turkish police officer, shouted “do not forget Syria” during the assassination.
Russian diplomat shot to death in Moscow
The same day as Karlov’s killing, Petr Polshikov, 56, a senior Russian diplomat, was shot to death in his Moscow home, according to Moscow newspaper Moskovskij Komsomolets. The paper said Polshikov’s wife found him in their bedroom with a pillow over his head. Underneath the pillow, police found Polshikov with a head wound. A spokesman from the Russian Foreign Ministry said Polshikov’s death was likely an accident and had nothing to do with his official government duties, according to Russian news outlet REN-TV.
Russian official in NYC dies on Election Day
On the morning of the U.S. election, November 8, about an hour after the first polls opened in New York City, police received a 911 call about an unconscious man inside the Russian consulate. When they arrived, they found Sergei Krivov, 63, unresponsive. Emergency responders declared him dead at the scene. Krivov, who was born in Russia, had served in the consulate as duty commander involved with security affairs, according to Russian news reports. Russian consular officials first said Krivov fell from the roof. Then, they said he died of a heart attack. The initial police report filed on the day of the incident said Krivov was found “with an unknown trauma to the head,” according to a New York Police Department spokesman. However, after conducting an autopsy and finishing its investigation, the New York City Medical Examiner ruled that Krivov died from bleeding in the chest area, likely due to a tumor. Police sources said foul play wasn’t suspected and that Krivov had been in poor health.
Russian lawyer for whistleblower is nearly killed
Earlier this week, a private Russian lawyer on an anti-corruption crusade reportedly fell from the fourth floor of his Moscow apartment. Nikolai Gorokhov, 53, was near death with “severe head injuries” and remains in a hospital’s intensive care unit, according to his friend, investor Bill Browder. Gorokhov represented Sergei Magnitsky, a fellow Russian lawyer who exposed Russia’s largest ever tax fraud — and was later jailed and beaten to death in a Moscow detention center. Gorokhov continued his client’s fight.
Putin found out who has been killing his people and ordered his death.
British police make two more arrests in connection with Westminster attack (france24, Mar 24, 2017)
http://www.france24.com/en/20170324-british-police-make-more-arrests-connection-with-westminster-attack
“British police said Friday they had made two further “significant” arrests over the Islamist-inspired terror attack on parliament, as they appealed for information about the homegrown killer who left four people dead.
Nine people are now in custody over Wednesday’s rampage in Westminster, in which at least 50 people were injured, 31 requiring hospital treatment, counter-terrorism commander Mark Rowley said.
Police have searched 16 addresses, with five more raids still underway, mainly in London and the central city of Birmingham, where the attacker reportedly lived and near where he rented the car used in the assault.
The police officer also revealed the attacker’s birth name as Adrian Russell Ajao, after naming him Thursday as Khalid Masood, a 52-year-old who used “a number of aliases” and had a history of violent offences but no terrorist convictions.
The Islamic State group claimed the assailant behind Britain’s deadliest terror attack in 12 years was one of its “soldiers” acting on a call to target countries in the US-led coalition fighting the jihadists…”
Imams take DITIB to court over sackings (DW, Mar 24, 2017)
http://www.dw.com/en/imams-take-ditib-to-court-over-sackings/a-38115364
“The charges of two imams against DITIB seem to be fruitless. After the coup attempt last year they were called back to Turkey. DITIB is subject to political controversy due to its leanings towards the Turkish leadership.
“Following the failed coup attempt in Turkey, the two imams from the southern state of Baden-Württemberg were called back to their home country by a ministerial decree in August 2016. However, they’ve refused to comply with that request. Their charge now focuses on the question whether they are effectively employees of the Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (DITIB), a Turkish umbrella group engaged in religious, social and cultural activities. The Cologne-based labor court dealing with the case has serious doubts. Presiding judge Christian Ehrich cited as a fundamental problem that neither a verbal nor a written labor contract was concluded between the two plaintiffs and the DITIB association of mosques. He adjourned his final verdict to a court session scheduled for early April.
The lawyer for the plaintiffs, Tuncay Karaman, submitted to the court various newsletters issued by DITIB’s executive board, which supplied guidelines for imams preaching in Germany. But according to Ehrich, the paperwork did not provide clear labor-law related instructions as it was addressed to a multitude of recipients and not to the plaintiffs in person. With the required documentation missing, a formal employment relationship can’t have existed. By and large, the presiding judge agreed with the reasoning of DITIB lawyer Mehmet Günet, who said that responsibility for the ouster of the two imams lies with Diyanet, Turkey’s religious authority. Diyanet had also paid the plaintiffs’ salaries. That the two clerics worked in mosques which are owned by DITIB was the only interface between them and the umbrella organization, Ehrich said…”
It is all just some illusion, isnt it… lol
German integration minister takes on fake news at Islam conference (DW, Mar 24, 2017)
http://www.dw.com/en/german-integration-minister-takes-on-fake-news-at-islam-conference/a-38112355
“At a Berlin conference to promote intercultural dialogue, Germany’s integration minister discussed the absurd and slanderous things written about her online. She urged young people to lead the fight against hate speech.
Speaking at this weekend’s Young Islam Conference, which opened in the German capital on Friday, the government’s integration minister Aydan Özoguz gave an astonishing and at times humorous account of the hate mail and fake news to which she’s been subjected.
Özoguz told the conference participants, a specially selected group of Muslims and non-Muslims under the age of 25, that the internet and social media were driving anti-immigrant and even racist sentiment in Germany. To illustrate her point she read out messages she herself received on her Facebook page.
“You’ve secretly decided that we’re a nation of immigration,” Özoguz said, citing one message. “There’s no tolerance and future to be expected with Islamists like you,” read another.
“I’d love a job with that much power,” Özoguz joked. Another post accused her of creating “spaces free of law and order” with “drug dealing, no police and 98 percent foreigners with Sharia (Islamic law) – congratulations on such stupid policies.”
“I wanted to respond that I’d have to be pretty stupid to support policies like that,” said the 49-year-old Özoguz, who was born in Hamburg and has been a member of the Bundestag since 2009. “But even at my age you learn not to feed the trolls.”
She added that she had gotten hate messages even for innocuous posts wishing users a happy Christmas. She said she supported the government’s policies of cracking down on hate speech on social media…”
I dont feed the trolls… I dont have much power… Nothing is happening anyway… Just let us crush those fools completely!
Sweden to get new anti-segregation authority (thelocal, Mar 24, 2017)
https://www.thelocal.se/20170324/sweden-to-get-new-anti-segregation-authority
“Sweden is to get a new government agency tasked with tackling segregation in Swedish society.
The new agency will be charged with helping to improve socially deprived areas and breaking structural inequality, the Swedish government explained.
An inquiry will prepare the first details of the “delegation on segregation”, headed by Jonas Nygren, who was previously the chairman of the municipal board in Sundbyberg and is head of the Swedish Union of Tenants (Hyresgästföreningen).
“Counteracting segregation is one of our most important issues today and for the future. We’re very happy that Jonas Nygren has said yes to leading the work. He has knowledge of municipalities and politics, understands the relationship between the national and the local, and is a person who can make things happen,” Minister for Policy Coordination Ibrahim Baylan said in a press release.
The Swedish government’s program to reduce segregation between 2017 and 2025 will focus on crime, long-term unemployment, schools, social services and housing.
PM Stefan Löfven first announced plans for a new government programme to combat segregation last summer in a speech at at the annual Almedalen politics meet-up, when he warned that Sweden may be fractured if it is not tackled.
“There must be an end to the shootings, car burnings and drug trade,” he said.”
A chicken in every pot, a Muslim in every spare room.
If they don’t revolt real soon the Swedish race is dead.
So what does that mean exactly? They will distribute them evenly throughout the country so it all burns down at once?
Great plan if what you want is white flight and white genocide.
Migrants: Council of Europe, minors risk abuses in Hungary (ansamed, Mar 24, 2017)
http://www.ansamed.info/ansamed/en/news/sections/politics/2017/03/24/migrants-council-of-europe-minors-risk-abuses-in-hungary_6a386050-3505-40e0-91cc-60dae0859341.html
“The Hungarian law on border management, that enters into force today, “will increase the already highly vulnerable situation of children on the move, exacerbating in particular the exposure of those aged 14 or more to sexual exploitation and sexual abuse”. The critic is contained in a letter sent to Prime minister Victor Orban by the president of the Lanzarote committee, the organism of the Council of Europe in charge of monitoring if States protect minors from sexual exploitation and sexual abuse. In the letter the committee expresses “concerns” on the law because it considers that it contains measures that go against the obligations Hungary has having ratified the Lanzarote convention. In particular the committee criticizes the fact that unaccompanied migrant children between 14 and 18 will be considered adults during the emergency crisis and will not benefit from child protection measures, including the appointment of a guardian. It also says that these children will be placed in transit zones “with a greater risk of becoming victims of sexual abuse or exploitation”. The committee therefore asks the Hungarian authorities to provide information on 3 topics within a month. The committee wants to know which actions are taken to ensure that unaccompanied children (above or below 14 years of age) benefit from child protection, which measures will be taken to prevent such children from falling victims to sexual exploitation and abuse, and about the situation of children on the move who do not request asylum, as the legal changes concern only asylum seekers. Based on this information, the Lanzarote Committee “will decide on further action”. The letter follows the critic already expressed on the law by the humans rights commissioner of the Council of Europe and the judgement against Hungary by the Court of Strasbourg for the detention and expulsion to Serbia of 2 asylum seekers from Bangladesh.”
116 million African children to get polio vaccines: WHO (ahram, Mar 24, 2017)
http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/2/9/261579/World/International/-million-African-children-to-get-polio-vaccines-WH.aspx
“The World Health Organization said Friday 116 million children are to receive polio vaccines in 13 countries in west and central Africa as part of efforts to eradicate the disease on the continent.
“The synchronised vaccination campaign, one of the largest of its kind ever implemented in Africa, is part of urgent measures to permanently stop polio on the continent,” the WHO said.
The programme will see all children under the age of five in 13 countries immunised from Saturday “in a coordinated effort to raise childhood immunity to polio,” it added.
The countries are Benin, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Ivory Coast, Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
Once a worldwide scourge, polio is still endemic in three countries — Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
This year, the WHO has recorded four cases of polio — two each in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Last year, there were 37 cases globally…”
“Once a worldwide scourge, polio is still endemic in three countries — Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan.”
Once again, the elephant in the room goes unmentioned. The specific and overwhelming reason why “Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan” remain some of the world’s most active polio infestations is due to active opposition by Islamic imams who declare that the vaccine sterilizes Muslims.
So long as this vile crap persists, deny them any vaccine and let their populations be burdened with cripples and children who are bedridden for life. It will be an appropriate financial drain on economies that currently spend too much money driving terrorism.
Of course, neither does this article mention the accuracy level of their findings. Where they say “two cases”, that only refers to diagnosed patients. How many undiagnosed cases are roaming around transmitting this disease where medical facilities don’t even exist?
Not to mention that the refugees stand a real good chance of spreading polio into the west so our kids will once again be at risk.
Vaccines do not work. And I have tried to post the medical research that proves this 3 times and for some reason I am blocked.
Google: Vaccines did not save us
There you will find the research the big pharma doesn´t want you to see.
If our children get vaccinated against polio to prevent them from getting polio, why would we have to worry about becoming infected with polio?
Maybe because they don´t really work.
Typhoid and Scarlet Fever vanished without vaccines but with clean water, better nutrition, sanitation and living conditions.
By 2007 the chance of anyone in England and Wales dying of measles if no one were vaccinated was less than 1 in 55 million. The chance of being struck by lightning is 30 to 60 times higher.

You are not blocked. Any post with multiple links gets held for approval as an anti-spam measure. Your contributions are valued and appreciated. It is a technical glitch. I will find the posts and approve them although they do appear to be here.
For the record, I do believe in vaccines over all conceptually and can answer some of your objections, although not all. Because a vaccine can work and should be used, does not mean that all vaccines produced by, as you call it, “big-pharma” are in the public interest or in fact, the correct thing to inject people with.
That is a separate argument and goes to corruption of systems and organizations.
However if I have an objection to the discussion it is that it fragments those who agree on the problems Islam and Marxism present to classical civilization into smaller groups, some of whom we may lose because they may feel this site takes an unreasonable position on something of which they are certain. Whether it is for or against vaccinations.
We lose good people over unrelated matters that way.
Having said that, I am far more guilty of this than you or anyone else on this site as I cannot help myself from posting science that shows that global warming is a Marxist fraud intended to shut down Western dominance via industry and science, as these activities generate carbon dioxide.
There are of course, other reasons. But largely I think it was created to shift dominance over to developing nations by wealth transfer and the creation of industries in developing nations to take advantage of potential carbon credits.
After all, China, which is the biggest producer of man made Co2 in the world, both per capita and over all I believe, seems to be exempt from our little balancing act.
This is a failure of my own character. I couldn’t resist adding it to the mix. As a consequence, I have lost lots of great people who are certain that anthropogenic Global Warming is a real problem and because I take the position I do, then Islam must also not be a problem because I have such a “whacky” position on AGW, Islam must also be OK then. If you follow that badly constructed paragraph.
So while I don’t agree with you on vaccinations in toto, thats not the issue, its technical and I will fix once I find your comments in my email. But the real issue is fragging the people who read the site for matters of Marxism and Islam.

“Main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Kemal K?l?çdaro?lu has blasted President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an’s recent harsh rhetoric against Europe, stressing the sensitivity of foreign policy and diplomacy.
“Does he want to say effectively ‘I’m responsible for al-Qaeda? I’m responsible for [the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant] ISIL?” K?l?çdaro?lu said at an event with provincial heads on March 24.
His comments came after Erdo?an criticized European countries for “discriminating against Turkey” following the recent row over Turkish ministers’ meetings in Germany and the Netherlands…”

“An “international plot” is being conducted against Turkey, Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli has suggested, asking for a “yes” vote in the upcoming referendum for the constitutional amendment to “disperse the global powers.”
“We will disrupt the bloody game of the global powers in our region in solidarity with the nation and in collaboration with the state,” Bahçeli said in Bursa on March 24.
Focusing his speech on “the powers that are against Turkey’s prosperity,” Bahçeli asked for a “yes” vote in the constitutional referendum “for the survival of Turkey” and “to end the games played on Turkey.”
“Pay attention to the painful and bloody exhaustion of the neighboring countries. We are surrounded by a hostile circle. The global plot is active and cruel,” he said…”
US moves to tighten Iran sanctions (gulfnews, Mar 24, 2017)
http://gulfnews.com/news/mena/iran/us-moves-to-tighten-iran-sanctions-1.1999858
“Iran would face tighter US sanctions over ballistic missile launches and other non-nuclear activities under a bill announced on Thursday by a bipartisan group of senators, echoing a harder line on Tehran espoused by Republican President Donald Trump.
The bill has seven Republican and seven Democratic sponsors, and aides said it has a good chance of eventually becoming law.
It would set mandatory sanctions for anyone involved with Iran’s ballistic missile programme. And it would apply sanctions to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), putting into law sanctions imposed via executive order on individuals tied to what the bill’s sponsors describe as Iranian support for terrorism.
The IRGC, an elite military body, is powerful in Iranian politics and the economy.
The legislation would also require the US president to block the property of any person or entity involved in specific activities that violate the UN arms embargo on Iran…”

Haqqani leaks a plot against army: Imran (tribune, Mar 24, 2017)
https://tribune.com.pk/story/1364684/qatari-letter-aimed-covering-sharifs-money-laundering-imran/
“The PTI chief Imran Khan has said the recent disclosures of Pakistan’s former ambassador to the US, Hussain Haqqani, are a conspiracy against the armed forces and an act of high treason.
In an opinion piece published in The Washington Post on March 13, Haqqani admitted facilitating stationing of the US special operations and intelligence personnel in Pakistan and forging links that eventually allowed the US to carry out its 2011 raid in Abbottabad to kill the former al Qaeda chief.
The envoy also indicated that while Islamabad was ‘officially kept out of the loop’, the PPP-led government was aware of both the developments. Later, a classified document issued by the prime minister’s secretariat on July 14, 2010 revealed that the PPP government had at the highest official level allowed Haqqani to issue visas to American nationals by bypassing all security protocols.
“It is an old habit of our politicians to assure India and America of their loyalties,” Imran said while talking to the media on his one-day tour to Lahore. “The politicians should not defame the army. In case they have any issues, they should talk to the forces,” he added….”
EXCLUSIVE: Trump Administration Not Yet Challenging China in South China Sea
WASHINGTON – The Navy has made several requests to conduct operations that would challenge China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea, but the administration has not granted them, Breitbart News has learned.
The operations are known as Freedom of Navigation Operations, or FONOPs, which would challenge China’s claims to its man-made islands in the South China Sea.
The Navy has requested to conduct several “Tier Three” FONOPs, which require White House approval. Those could entail sailing within 12 nautical miles of the islands, which would signal to China that they do not own the waters surrounding the islands.
Officials gave conflicting reasons the Trump administration is not conducting the FONOPs. Some officials believe they have been approved by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, but have not been acted upon by the NSC.
However, several officials say those requests have not made it past Mattis’ desk.
“The NSC is not holding [South China Sea] FONOPs,” said an NSC official on background. The White House directed questions to the NSC.

The Rome Declaration
http://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2017/03/25-rome-declaration/?utm_source=dsms-auto&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=The+Rome+Declaration
“We, the Leaders of 27 Member States and of EU institutions, take pride in the achievements of the European Union: the construction of European unity is a bold, far-sighted endeavour. Sixty years ago, recovering from the tragedy of two world wars, we decided to bond together and rebuild our continent from its ashes. We have built a unique Union with common institutions and strong values, a community of peace, freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law, a major economic power with unparalleled levels of social protection and welfare.
European unity started as the dream of a few, it became the hope of the many. Then Europe became one again. Today, we are united and stronger: hundreds of millions of people across Europe benefit from living in an enlarged Union that has overcome the old divides.
The European Union is facing unprecedented challenges, both global and domestic: regional conflicts, terrorism, growing migratory pressures, protectionism and social and economic inequalities. Together, we are determined to address the challenges of a rapidly changing world and to offer to our citizens both security and new opportunities.
We will make the European Union stronger and more resilient, through even greater unity and solidarity amongst us and the respect of common rules. Unity is both a necessity and our free choice. Taken individually, we would be side-lined by global dynamics. Standing together is our best chance to influence them, and to defend our common interests and values. We will act together, at different paces and intensity where necessary, while moving in the same direction, as we have done in the past, in line with the Treaties and keeping the door open to those who want to join later. Our Union is undivided and indivisible.
In the ten years to come we want a Union that is safe and secure, prosperous, competitive, sustainable and socially responsible, and with the will and capacity of playing a key role in the world and of shaping globalisation. We want a Union where citizens have new opportunities for cultural and social development and economic growth. We want a Union which remains open to those European countries that respect our values and are committed to promoting them.
In these times of change, and aware of the concerns of our citizens, we commit to the Rome Agenda, and pledge to work towards:
A safe and secure Europe: a Union where all citizens feel safe and can move freely, where our external borders are secured, with an efficient, responsible and sustainable migration policy, respecting international norms; a Europe determined to fight terrorism and organised crime.
A prosperous and sustainable Europe: a Union which creates growth and jobs; a Union where a strong, connected and developing Single Market, embracing technological transformation, and a stable and further strengthened single currency open avenues for growth, cohesion, competitiveness, innovation and exchange, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises; a Union promoting sustained and sustainable growth, through investment, structural reforms and working towards completing the Economic and Monetary Union; a Union where economies converge; a Union where energy is secure and affordable and the environment clean and safe.
A social Europe: a Union which, based on sustainable growth, promotes economic and social progress as well as cohesion and convergence, while upholding the integrity of the internal market; a Union taking into account the diversity of national systems and the key role of social partners; a Union which promotes equality between women and men as well as rights and equal opportunities for all; a Union which fights unemployment, discrimination, social exclusion and poverty; a Union where young people receive the best education and training and can study and find jobs across the continent; a Union which preserves our cultural heritage and promotes cultural diversity.
A stronger Europe on the global scene: a Union further developing existing partnerships, building new ones and promoting stability and prosperity in its immediate neighbourhood to the east and south, but also in the Middle East and across Africa and globally; a Union ready to take more responsibilities and to assist in creating a more competitive and integrated defence industry; a Union committed to strengthening its common security and defence, also in cooperation and complementarity with the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, taking into account national circumstances and legal commitments; a Union engaged in the United Nations and standing for a rules-based multilateral system, proud of its values and protective of its people, promoting free and fair trade and a positive global climate policy.
We will pursue these objectives, firm in the belief that Europe’s future lies in our own hands and that the European Union is the best instrument to achieve our objectives. We pledge to listen and respond to the concerns expressed by our citizens and will engage with our national parliaments. We will work together at the level that makes a real difference, be it the European Union, national, regional, or local, and in a spirit of trust and loyal cooperation, both among Members States and between them and the EU institutions, in line with the principle of subsidiarity. We will allow for the necessary room for manoeuvre at the various levels to strengthen Europe’s innovation and growth potential. We want the Union to be big on big issues and small on small ones. We will promote a democratic, effective and transparent decision-making process and better delivery. ”
We as Leaders, working together within the European Council and among our institutions, will ensure that today’s agenda is implemented, so as to become tomorrow’s reality. We have united for the better. Europe is our common future.”
