> Delhi and Brussels have also agreed on a mobility framework that eases restrictions for professionals to travel between India and the EU in the short term.
This is great news for professionals wishing to move to the EU, and I hope many will use this opportunity.
How are people mistaking what is clearly easier business visas to facilitate short term visits for migration? The EU can't commit to changes on migration because individual countries decide that.
You got flagged, but yes. Ironic especially as someone who has funded a US-India startup who's components helped the AFU maim orcs and who warned the Obama 2 admin against appeasing Putin/Medvedev.
Ironic that for someone thumping their chest on being a successful founder, a lot of your comments on HN seem to revolve around calling everyone who disagrees with you as Russian trolls/bots or racist.
You're even repeating yourself over and over in the same thread, like for example here you wrote a wall of text TWICE, on why people should stop talking about the immigration clause of the trade deal with India because according to you they're racist if they bring it up.
These takes of yours here are very patronizing, disingenuous and in bad faith meant to just accuse all critics of racism before they even open their mouth, when the arguments people bring up are genuine and in good faith.
Anyone who did research (like we did locally) has seen the repeated flood of right wing attack messages following any EU news on any social media. There's been plenty of research connecting them to Russian bots and their pets (e.g. Orban, AfD and other right wing organizations).
Taking them seriously and defending just makes you their useful idiot.
Those words used in the quote are intentionally vague to not cause political backlash from Europeans who won't be happy to hear about getting even more immigration and competition for labor and housing.
Like if the framework would explicitly say "EU to allow in 20 million Indian workers every year" the political backlash would have been devastating, but since the framework only talks in vague phrases like "facilitate labour mobility" and "Enable mobility for skilled workers, young professionals" which are obvious migration policies but disguised in super vague terms to obfuscate the real intent.
That's why they're politicians, that's their job, they need to gaslight you on how policies that only benefit the business/asset owning class is gonna benefit you, the working class, even if that's not true. Their job is to get the voters to buy into and accept the policies their lobbyists push for.
I'm from Europe (a white male, if that matters to you). I have worked with several people from India (off the top of my head: Vimal, Hijas, Os). They were all competent, going above expectations. And not just that, they were very nice to be around. They did bring value and integrated well into our civilized society.
This is great news for professionals wishing to move to the EU, and I hope many will use this opportunity.
