But after that, you know, terrorism is not part of the Western life. Violence of public life does not belong to us. But now terrorism is up. Public order is dispersing. So now the society is against the mass migration policy. So we'll comment culture, as it was called by Angela Merkel. Now it's totally negative.
And the problem is that the elite was so much committed to that ideology that now it's difficult to change their position. And that leads us to the problem of democracy. As we will see in Germany just soon, election is coming two weeks time. And you probably have realized that there were some surprising discussion in the German parliament whether to change the migration regulation or not.

And the public opinion said, 70% said, yes, you should change it. And they voted against it. So it's a problem of democracy. It's not just a problem of migration. It's not a problem of leadership. The whole structure and the system is under pressure at this moment.

But the involvement of the people must be resulted in good governance. If the involvement of the people, the public opinion, does not result in good governance, it's anarchy. It's not democracy. So democracy means participation of the people by their voting in the major decisions, and the outcome must be a good governance. It's one of them is lacking. It's not democracy.

The German economy is part of the European bomb because we have the single market. And the single market as such is in trouble. I'm in international politics for more than 30 years. And I do remember then 30 years ago, the biggest economy of the world was the European Union. And now it's only number three. And if you look at the top five economies of the world, there is no European among them.
