The European Union can only survive
in the hearts and minds of its citizens if it is perceived as political project
that promotes freedom and prosperity, protects the people and facilitates
solidarity among the different nations. If it fails to do so, it will lose the
support and will become a very fragile meeting point of contradictory national
interests. With the current crisis, these goals are being challenged. That is
certainly not a very good foundation for the future. In addition, the new
leadership of the institutions gives the impression of lacking the necessary weight
and audacity. They certainly are very honest people. But that is immensely insufficient
at a time of profound shock and division. I am certainly worried by the current
lack of visibility and initiative coming from the institutions.
