- What is your position on European integration? As a social democrat, I am an internationalist. I passionately believe in a Social Europe, and I would like Dagmar to join the European Union. However, I am opposed to Dagmar joining the Eurozone after witnessing the events in Greece. We cannot have monetary union without fiscal union.
