Čo Európa potrebuje
The EU has three options:
- Späť k vestfálskemu národnému štátu
- Zachovanie súčasnej podoby EÚ: medzivládna správa založená na zmluve
- Založenie Spojených štátov európskych na základe federálnej ústavy. To je to, čo Európa potrebuje.
Späť k vestfálskemu národnému štátu
- This is an out-dated, retarded form of sovereignty
- Closed borders, deterring immigration
- Anarchy between nation-states. Anarchy in the sense of the absence of cross-border administration, causing conflicts and wars
- Inevitable wars as in the 19th and 20th century
- Shrinking of diversity and innovation
- Shrinking of national economies through protectionism and isolationism
Zachovanie súčasnej podoby EÚ: medzivládna správa založená na zmluve
- The intergovernmental administration destroys the sovereignty of the member states, forcing them to assimilate
- Member states use the EU as a pigeonhole: in-out
- No respect for, nor acceptance of the treaty-based duties
- Vulnerable to external threats like economic crises, terrorism, climate change
- No common policy with respect to cross border common interests and concerns like economy, social security, immigration, safety, energy/climate, defence, foreign affairs
- No global power like the USA, China and Russia
Establishing the United States of Europe, based on a federal constitution
- Vertical division of powers, creating shared sovereignty
- Each member state keeps its sovereignty, cultural identity and language
- No forced assimilation
- Cross border administration to secure common interests and concerns
- Open borders, diversity, innovation, safety and welfare
- Stronger than the USA, China and Russia
