I am going to grab my popcorn.
bravo ursula.
cheaper labor is coming. companies will be happy.
and what will happen to the citizens of europe? do any of you think about that?
how will they work? where will they live and earn money if you reduce salaries with imigration and increase the number of people in the country so that the housing problems will become even greater?
will someone who graduates in IT become a pizza delivery man because indians have taken all the jobs?
i don’t understand the germans’ obsession with immigration at all. with her policies, merkel has given the far right a great ticket to get voters and this one will manage to completely destroy the left and the center, only populists and rightists will remain.
Don’t do it Europe. Canada fell for this trap. Stagnate wages, rising rent and cost of living, and other knock on effects. Its a way for business class and land owners to import cheap labour that affects everyone and everything. Its not racist to say no, it’s economically sensible.
Aaaaannnd far right parties across the board in Europe in the next 4-6 years.
Horror! They will flood our companies with their own. There are a lot of competent Indians, but opening the gates like this will be a disaster.
Perfect opportunity to turn European into MEGA style. 10 years later, we will see the EU version of ICE. Sometimes I felt like these politicians just want to see the world burns.
> migration of Indian skilled professionals from industries such as IT, nursing, and engineering easier access to work in EU nations, addressing Europe’s labour shortages
I get nursing, but since when is there a shortage of IT and engineering people? Every time I meet my uni friends from those fields they tell me it’s hard to find a quality job.
Australia enacted similar polices and our prime minister turned around and said how fantastic it was to have a reciprocal deal so Australians could more easily move to India….
Ok, trying to break the “center to far-right” speedrun world record.
Why? Unemployment rates are already extremely high to begin with, but let’s get cheap workforce from India to make it even worse. The secret recipe for success seems to be having native people on welfare while import workforce does all the work
Years of university education, substantial financial and personal investment, only to lose my job to an overseas hire from Bangalore. 😐
This worked well for Canada
I’m sure the coming rise in votes to parties on the right will come as a shock to many
> Europe opens its ‘first gateway office’ to fast-track hiring in India
I do not see the necessity of such a thing.
> migration of Indian skilled professionals from industries such as IT, nursing, and engineering easier access to work in EU nations, addressing Europe’s labour shortages
I would understand everything related to nursing and such, but we do not lack engineering/IT professionals, on the contrary.
I would be very cautious as to not replicate what happened in Canada, especially in the context of the far-right rising (especially) because of immigration.
> “[The office] will be a one-stop hub to support Indian talent moving to Europe, in full alignment with EU Member States’ needs and policies. This is good for our economies. This is good for the friendship between our people. This openness benefits us all,” she said.
I still do not get how “Indian talent” would be an asset for most Europe countries, which do not have enough positions for the current local active population.
This is bad for locals.
Cooked continent
Worse prospects for European workers which will push Europeans further right and more revenue in Russian pockets through their Indian proxies. Perhaps it is in fact European leadership that is compromised by Putin.
Ireland has seen a crazy amount of Indians moving there this past year. For 2025 over 50% of newly hired nurses were Indian. Mini Canada already there.
Prepare for H-1B like reality in Europe where companies will rather pay low wage migrant Indian workers than local Europeans. When Ursula talks about need to increase “competitiveness”, she talks about increased profits, not increasing living standards.
Remember, literally nobody voted for this.
Meanwhile all the jobs are being outsourced to India. How the hell will this work? Indians will be competing for the same job in Europe as Indians in India
I really hope some EU govts will oppose this shitty deal
Canadian here- You guys are screwed. The European job market is not doing well at all, the last thing you guys need is MORE competition. Maybe with the exception of healthcare, is there a labour shortage?
Europe already has millions of unemployed and underemployed people. The priority should be training and mobilising them before importing labour from entirely different cultural and social systems.
Mass recruitment from abroad is an easy political fix, not a smart one. Businesses just want cheap labour. It avoids investing in local skills, depresses wages, and creates long-term integration problems.
We’ve seen this model play out elsewhere. Europe shouldn’t repeat the same mistakes develop our own workforce first.
Good job, and then you wonder why far right parties are rising in polls. Yeah bring more indians into IT where we already have awful rates.
This is going to backfire massively. Weird how naive these leaders are.
They told us we were getting replaced by AI, I did not know it meant Another Indian.
This is high treason.
