Environment and Climate Change: "The EU should increase its efforts to combat climate change, even if it means higher costs for member countries."
Yes, we should decrease the climate change, but it ought to proceed in a just way within EU.
2 / 13
Economy and Trade: "The EU should aim to create free trade agreements with more countries, even if it means competition for some domestic industries."
EU ought to defend its own interest in the world economy, precisely as USA and China.
3 / 13
Migration and Asylum Policy: "I support a common EU policy on migration and asylum that involves more shared responsibility among member countries."
Yes, if we truly want to develop EU into a political union we need a common policy for border and asyl matters.
4 / 13
Education and Research: "The EU should increase its budget for research and development, as well as promote exchange programs for students and researchers within the union."
This is a key issue for me and something I would give much attention to as EU MP.
5 / 13
Social Policy and Equality: "A stronger EU focus on social issues, such as labor rights and gender equality, is necessary."
In social policy it advisable to let the singel EU-countries decided, which kind of welfare states they prefer.

Nordic and Baltic Cooperation: "Deepening the Nordic and Baltic cooperation within the EU is of great importance."
Yes, the Baltic states are our close neighbours, but so are also Germany and Poland.
7 / 13
Defense and Security Policy: "The EU should take greater responsibility in defense and security policy matters, including the development of a common defense policy."
Absolutely, this is something that all EU MP\\\\\\\'s should support.
8 / 13
Energy and Sustainability: "The EU should prioritize the transition to renewable energy sources, even if it may mean higher energy prices in the short term."
Yes, especially if we thereby can in the long run reduce the energy prices.
9 / 13
Democracy and the Principles of the Rule of Law: "The EU should take stronger actions against member countries that violate the principles of the rule of law and democratic values."
This is also a fundamentally important reform.

Rights of Minorities in the EU. "The EU should actively work to strengthen and protect the rights of ethnic, linguistic, and cultural minorities within the union."
Yes, but within a reasonable and realistic context.
11 / 13
Agricultural Policy: "The EU should strengthen its support for sustainable agriculture and small-scale farmers, to promote local food production and environmentally friendly methods."
Yes, if this can be implemented in a just way and everyone follows the rules.
12 / 13
Rural Development: "The EU should intensify its efforts to support and develop rural areas, through investments in infrastructure, access to services, and strengthening of the local economy."
Yes, if this can be done without delaying the development of EU\\\\\\\'s common security and trade policy.

If you could give a superpower to your future political leader, what would it be?
As a professional historian, I can certainly mention a number of mistakes done during the journey. Above all I would make sure that the union would get legal power, with which it can be ensured that the member states take care of their economies and respect EU\\\\\\\'s democratic principles.
