ESI’s Gerald Knaus was invited to participate in Lobbacher Gespräche an event series that enables people in rural areas of Southwest Germany to meet and talk personally with prominent personalities from politics and society. The theme of the event was “Migration without borders?”.

Gerald spoke about the dangers of pushbacks from the EU member states, the importance of establishing fair and humane borders and the need of stronger resettlement initiatives, where he also focused on ESI’s proposal for a new, humane approach on the migration debate.

Gerald had come to Lobbach upon the invitation of Lars Castellucci, a Social Democratic of MP. Together, they also gave an interview to the local Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung newspaper: Deutschland hat zu sehr auf Brüssel gesetzt ("Germany has put too much faith in Brussels").
