Just som background on Jens Peter now that he has not provided it himself. He is a former member of the Danish Communist Party and has for most of his career represented a party on the extreme left in Danish politics with a revolutionist manifesto. His role in the EU parlament was to represent an opposition to the EU and inherently to oppose the EU from within. I'm not writing this to discredit him buy I find this is important to know when reading this AMA.
Now for my own question - the opposition to the EU has in recent years shifted from a left wing critisicm of centralisation to a right wing nationalistic opposition. How do you feel about the far right taking over the anti-EU narrative and what is your view today on the basic principle of a European Union? Is it in it's basic principle a positive or negative construction?
