(based on Little Mermaid and Emperor’s new clothes tales)
I’m one of the Romanian EU citizens who use to love Denmark. I’ve never been there, I just love it unconditioned. In childhood, in my mind it was the ideal European Country (country were one child reveal the Emperor’s nakedness -or may be emptiness-). Perhaps because of Ioan Chirila writings about Danish wonderful soccer team from a certain Soccer World Cup, and, about its serene and happy Danish supporters that accompanied it. Maybe due to peace sensation given by Little Mermaid cartoons and illustrated books, thinking that only a great people can give to humanity a writer like Hans Christian Andersen, and, rising a monument to a wonderful tale character. Or may be that only a remarkable nation is keeping high levels of education free for his people and receive the foreigner students with same open arms. And this is just the start of the good thoughts…

And what’s happened these days?!?
…………….
I know that some bad individuals from my country scared the western people. I also know that the economical and political crisis seems not to have a certain end, and, in order not to lose their comfortable chairs, and, being to superficially to find solid solutions, the politicians are tempted to use unjust but very visible “measures” to “discourage” the inside European borders citizenry migration. What’s happened last days with the Romanian EU citizens from the bus “arrested” by police want to be a message with two meanings: for foreigners to be a signal that “Romanians (tomorrow maybe others) are not welcome here, even most of you are good and honest people, so, don’t bother you to come here anymore” and for Danish people: “homeland citizens, be reconciled, because we, your leaders, watching on your peace and welfare. We have already found the “problem” and take it the “right, frontal and immediate measures” to solve it… Justice by injustice now applied to “undesirable” foreigners, tomorrow maybe on “undesirable” homeland people.
What hard times we are living...I want back “the Denmark” I loved it!
