EL 84 | Making Europe truly great
The European Letter is back.
For Europe, the long season of illusions is over: the belief that it could count indefinitely on American protection, that the globalised world could guarantee peace and stability thanks to trade liberalisation and economic interdependence, that the democratic model would inevitably spread throughout the world. Europe thus finds itself exposed to very serious threats to its security, while experiencing a sharp economic decline and weakened by a political crisis that is seeing a growing consensus of nationalist, anti-European and anti-democratic forces. If these multiple crises are not used as an opportunity to strengthen political integration, there is a real risk that the European Union will break up. Only a politically united Europe will be able to survive and prosper again in the new context.
To confront the threats posed by the US and Russia, European democratic governments must demonstrate the political will to take concrete steps towards building an effective autonomous defense. This defense will enable Europeans to ensure their own security and that of Ukraine.
The European Letter is published in 7 languages - from the edition 77 - under the auspices of the Luciano Bolis European Foundation in cooperation with the Union of European Federalists.
The European Letter is a periodical publication started in 1997 with the aim of stimulating political debate in national parliaments and governments, and in the European Parliament.
