Bulgaria, Romania: Right to Work in the EU

Edward Lucas, the Central and East European correspondent of The Economist, writes about the dispute over whether Romanians and Bulgarians should have the right to work in the EU: “Few subjects stimulate sillier discussion and worse economics than migration from poor countries to rich ones.”

    And so my dear friends, if a person wants to earn an honest living but cannot, due to restrictions, what are they to do? We all have a right to live! Then you wonder why there are so many desperate people committing crimes in your countries just to survive? I am a Romanian national who was raised by God fearing, honest and hard working parents, one who comes to you in peace. I detest violence and bad deeds and genuinely enjoy making a person´s day brighter. But I tell you one thing; all hell would break lose if my family has to go hungry, despite me trying my best to find employment, and only because I am being impeded by racist Europeans with twisted perceptions and prejudice towards ALL Romanians. Can you blame me? If your answer is yes, then you are a person without a heart and soul.
