This is how the European dream ends

Lorenzo Consoli:

If European solidarity were more than an empty and hypocritical word, it would be normal for the financially stronger countries of the EU to accept the idea that the public debt generated by the response to the pandemic should be issued in common, with common guarantees, with the same interests rates for all. Eurobonds. As if Spain, for Germany, would be what Lombardy is to Italy, a part of a great nation, the European nation.

But it is not. The European nation does not exist. European solidarity is an empty, hypocritical word. Angela Merkel and Mark Rutte don’t look at Europe, they only look at the Germans and the Dutch.

Ω Ω Ω

Von der Leyen looks the other way. Every day she records beautiful video messages in three languages written by someone else for her. Yet, what matters is the orders she receives from Berlin.

This is how the European dream ends.
