Dear God...

Dear Sirs and Madams,

The results for the European elections are in and I have become more worried for this world than before the elections. Not only was the voter turnout a historic low this year (43%), but the Europeans also managed to put anti-immigration and racist groups, like the British National Party, into the parliament. While these radical right groups hardly constitute a force to be reckoned with, I feel this is a serious sign of popular sentiments in Europe.

At the same time, no one has stepped forward to make any significant moves to tackle the big problems. The green paper, published by the European Commission, admits that 88% of European fish stocks are overexploited and 30% have collapsed. No serious voices advocate for the dismantling of NATO or to protect refugees.

Do the European want a closed continent? They clearly don't mind keeping the spoils of their plunder and further victimizing those who have escaped the inner-circles of hell that some EU member states have helped create.

The EU elections have been a step back for liberty.

Best,
Yong Kwon
