"Mr President, if you are super rich, need an EU passport and want some good value for money, we have some bargains here for you. We have Malta – EUR 650 000 with no strings attached. But Malta, of course, is not alone. We have charitable Ireland – a EUR 500 000 investment in a public project in return for a guaranteed residency permit; Cyprus – EUR 3 million for an investment; Britain – applicants assessed on the basis of a GBP 1 million investment in the UK.
It is appalling; it is disgraceful; it is outrageous – but it is not altogether that surprising, because we live in a Europe that is dominated by the 1 %, at the cost of the 99 %. It is more outrageous because it is happening at precisely the same time that we have the disgraceful racist scaremongering by many parties of the establishment across Europe against Romanians and Bulgarians. It is disgraceful when you contrast it with the practice of keeping out non-Europeans, which has cost the lives of 20 000 people from beyond the southern borders. This is the tale of two Europes."@en1
