@hgbruenker I agree with what you say. But you are missing a key issue: Unity. We as Europeans need to work on a shared sense of community. The right-wing parties say they want to create a Europe of fatherlands, but what they really want is to divide us. They want to weaken the ties between countries and inside countries.
Unity is not easy to achieve. The current EU (despite its flaws) is a remarkable construct of peace and unity. But it is not enough to face the challenges that we have.
