Position paper 05 · Discussion draft

Migration & belonging

Rights follow the person, not the passport.

Premise

Where this draft begins.

Freedom of movement, protection and political belonging must not depend on ethnic origin or economic usefulness.

Political direction

What should concretely change.

  1. 01

    Create safe routes and fair, rapid asylum procedures.

  2. 02

    Protect social rights regardless of residence status.

  3. 03

    Tie municipal political participation to people’s actual centre of life.

  4. 04

    Address global causes such as war, exploitation and climate damage together.

Safeguards

What must not be lost.

Individual protection claims are never replaced by assumptions about groups.

Common provision is expanded rather than played off against migrants.

Anti-racism binds authorities, workplaces and local majorities.

Open research

Not yet answered.

How can global freedom of movement be secured institutionally?
What transitions are needed for political membership beyond the nation-state?
