北欧で極右拡大中

例によってEUobserver紙から、北欧諸国で反移民、反イスラムの極右政党が勢力を拡大中、という記事。

>A populist and hard-right wave is washing up over the Nordic countries, and with it, anti-immigration rhetoric and policies that were unthinkable just few years ago, with political consequences for traditional politics in the region.

ほんの数年前には考えられなかったくらい、極右政党が進出しているようです。

>Just a year ago, the far-right anti-immigration party – Swedish Democrats (Sverigedemokraterna) – was a small and unknown outfit. But its provocative anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim statements have given it significant support especially in areas with high unemployment.

Opinion polls suggest that the Swedish Democrats may exceed the four percent threshold needed to win seats in the Riksdagen and possibly hold the balance of power between the left alliance led by the Social Democrats and the governing centre-right coalition.

スウェーデン民主党は４％条項の壁を越えて議席を取りそうだと。

>In Finland, the tone of the immigration debate has changed dramatically over the last year. The topic has moved from being a marginal discussion to become one of the central debates in Finnish politics.

As much as 60 percent of Finns are now against an increase in the number of immigrants arriving in the country – a number that has increased considerably compared to previous years, according to a survey by Finnish daily Helsingin Sanomat.

Public support for the opposition hard-right True Finns party led by MEP Timo Soini, who is a member of the European Parliament, has lately risen past 10 per cent, according to a survey in September commissioned by the same paper.

フィンランドでも「真のフィン人党」の支持率が１０％を超えてきた。

あと、ノルウェーやデンマークの状況も書かれていますが、デンマーク人民党のスカールプのこの言葉などは、域外移民に対してどういう目が向けられているかが窺えます。

>In Denmark, Peter Skaarup from the far-right Danish People's Party (Dansk Folkeparti) wrote in a press release on 29 May this year: "if non-western immigrants and descendents worked to the same extent as the Danes, then the economic situation would immediately be 24 million Kroners [€3.2 million] better, the sustainability problem would be solved and growth in the Danish economy would take off."

He added that his party would continue a "socially balanced policy that will press more immigrants to find a job, take up education or maybe go home if it does not work out for them staying here in the country."

「もし非西欧移民とその子孫がデンマーク人と同じくらい働いたら、経済状況は２４００万クローネは良くなって、デンマーク経済は離陸しているはずだ。彼らに働かせるか、さもなきゃ働かずに居座っている連中はふるさとに帰すのが社会的にバランスのとれた政策というものだ」

まさに福祉ショービニズムですが、先に話題になったワークフェアとかアクティベーションという社会政策的問題の裏側にぺたりと張り付いた問題が、この「働きもせずに俺たちの税金で福祉を食ってる移民の連中」であることが、こういう記事を見るとよく分かります。
