An unhealthy obsession with blocking immigration into Europe has fueled right-wing conservative parties. This xenophobia ultimately culminates into stifling climate action. We are now more dependent on individual actions.

Since we didn't even have a radical left running this time, I picked an ordinary social democrat. One whom I've met and talked to, and who seems a reasonable person... and is already a MEP. He will narrowly continue to be a MEP.

As for priorities - the transition to a sustainable economy is indeed on the back burner currently. I like to imagine that everyone knows it must happen and soon - but maybe I over-estimate people.

The local hot topics this time were economic crisis and war.
