Individuals or married couples can do it, but the coexistence of different races and cultures in one place is against nature, nature's nature and unsustainable in the long run. We can enrich each other's culture and values, but not live together "mixed" in one country, where traditions and cultures mix and lead inevitably to the gradual disintegration of values and society. Migrants from other countries do not integrate and have a natural tendency to live among their own. The current refugee crisis reminds us of this. The inability of the Roma ethnic group to integrate in our country, where they have lived for centuries, is proof of this.
On 18 March, the Embassy of Switzerland in the Czech Republic, in cooperation with the French Institute in Prague, organised an evening of Swiss films as part of the Days of Francophonie. Cinema 35 screened the compelling documentary JE SUIS NOIRES / BECOMING A BLACK WOMAN (2022, 52 min). The screening was followed by a discussion with Rachel M'Bon, Swiss-Congolese journalist and director of the documentary. The evening opened with a welcome by Ambassador Philippe Guex and ended with an informal meeting with the director over a glass of wine, with whom I also spoke briefly.

Why does today's Europe face a danger arising from the logic of the clash of civilizations? Much stems from the progressivist ideology that has taken over the minds of local elites and the public space. It has the ambition to revolutionise the unique relations that have been shaped on the continent for centuries. Instead of a national home, it offers a superstate. Instead of border protection, it welcomes millions of immigrants from other civilisations, with hardly compatible religious and cultural values. Instead of family unions of man and woman, it emphasises the multiplicity and variability of the sexes, the so-called transgender.
In other words, instead of distinctive European nations, it offers a utopia of the universal European or world citizen, free of nationality, religion, race and unambiguous gender. Instead of natural reciprocity and solidarity, it promotes boundless moralising and humanitarianism . Instead of earthly joys, it preaches renunciation and bright tomorrows. Instead of a full life, it prefers being behind the walls of a planetary monastery where global order reigns.
If we accept the belief that for the sake of the global good, the differences between people must be erased, then all borders, including interstate ones, become meaningless. What a fantastic denial of reality, sticking one's head in the sand with immeasurable consequences. This kind of unbridled egalitarianism and humanitarianism is driving Europe into a civilisational vacuum that will make it easy prey for more aggressive cultures and religions.
