The recent increase in the power of more populist and anti-European movement throughout Europe shows that something is very wrong at the heart of Europe, the citizens are more an more distrustful of the European institutions, but curiously, that has not affected the support for the European Ideal.
It is easy to conclude that the problem lies on the current form of the EU, claims for reform comes from all sides, MEP's, NGO's, civil society. Europe needs reform and urgently, is it's form, in it's goal, in it's remit. There are fantastic proposals out there for a better Europe.
But there appears to be no interest from the current occupiers of power to pursuit any of these changes. The EU must have at it's heart the welfare of the all Europeans, it must and constant goal the aim of serving the interest of it's citizens, the European society, it must defend, protect and improve our European social model at all cost, fight inequalities and promote democracy and participation.
EU must change towards a ResPublica, all the things that we have in common, our values, our principles, our communities, our freedom and our Europe. The EU must protect Europe against this growing celebration of individual selfishness that is destroying our world and our society.
Until the European citizens fell that the pursuit of their best interest is indeed at the heart of the EU, this mistrust will only grow bigger and can actually destroy the European ideal in the future.
What are you going to do about it Mr Juncker?
