This speech by the unelected, appointed EU Commision Executive Minister Frans Timmermans is originally from October 2015, but there has been a complete media blackout.

“Diversity is now in some parts of Europe seen as a threat”

“Diversity comes with challenges. But diversity is humanity’s destiny.”

“There is not going to be, even in the remotest places of this planet, a nation that will not see diversity in its future. That’s where humanity is heading.”

“And those politicians trying to sell to their electorates a society that is exclusively composed of people from one culture, are trying to portray a future based on a past that never existed, therefore that future will never be.”

“Europe will be diverse, like all other parts of the world will be diverse.”

“The only question is, how do we deal with that diversity? And my answer to that is, by ensuring that our values determine how we deal with diversity and not giving up our values to refuse diversity. That will bring us down as a society.”

“If we don’t get this right, I truly believe Europe will not remain the Europe we built. Europe will not remain a place of peace and freedom, for very long.”
