L'evoluzione del sogno europeo: uno sguardo al passato per ripensare l'Europa

La rotta dell'Europa: direzione zero asilo

On 27 December 2023, with the death of Jacques Delors, president of the European Commission from 1985 to 1995, a page in European history closed. Today it is time to take a critical assessment of that period and draw lessons for the future, a few months before the European elections. How was the European dream born and why? Has today's Europe betrayed that dream, its founding principles and values? One of the main challenges facing the continent is, unfortunately, the emergence of populism, radicalism, xenophobia and Europhobia. Who is afraid of Europe: the citizens who live in it, some of the governments that make it up and who call for a Europe of nations, the migrants? What are the causes of this phenomenon? A step considered essential by many in light of the events of recent years, in particular with the pandemic and foreign policy issues, and the prospect of other countries soon joining the Union is the revision of the European Treaties. What will the Europe that awaits us be like? Will it still be the Europe of rights and democracy or will it be a Europe of nationalisms and a "fortress" Europe?
