EU Leader Admits European Union in Danger of Disappearing
By Joshua Krause
After decades of misguided economic policies, bureaucratic overreach,
and unfettered immigration, the European Union is on the ropes. While
the leaders of the EU do their best to keep the union together,
everything we’ve seen since the global financial crisis of 2008,
suggests that doing so is a fool’s errand. Now it seems these leaders
are beginning to realize the truth, albeit for the wrong reasons.
Martin Schulz, the President of the European Union Parliament, told the Die Welt newspaper that
“The European Union is in danger. No one can say whether the EU will
still exist in this form in 10 years,” before adding that there were
“forces at work to drive us apart.” He believes there will be terrible
consequences if this ever comes to pass, and said that the alternative
to the European megastate would be a “Europe of nationalism, a Europe of
borders and walls.” This he believes would take Europe back to its
past, which was rife with endemic warfare (though he ignores the fact
that Western culture grew to be the most influential in the world during
this period).
