Re: The Basic Income

Romania and Bulgaria are in the EU.
So yes, the EU borders would either have to protected very hawkishly, or there would have to be kind of a visa, that allows for travel in the EU, but no access to the basic income.
It is always a bit obscene to provide strong solidarity with e.g. Romania, but not with e.g. the Ukraine. But in the end, if the EU wants to be more than a free trade zone, it will be very difficult not to have somewhere are rather sharp border, either geographically or ideationally with giving EU country citizens largely more rights than non-citizens.
The alternative is less solidarity at at all, or solidarity with the whole world, which is not practically to the degree we want to have within our own society.
