The future of Europe is to become a country, not the United
States of Europe but an European Union. Together we are the
richest, the biggest democracy and the most powerful country in
the world.
The 21st century is the globalization century and we are
killing ourselves. With some influential powerful countries
arising (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and the United States,
Europe as it is today will die very fast. The EU way of act is
still having good results in European economies, but in a
globalized world we need to have a single voice and act as a
single force.
As from the 15th century we conquered the world, we cannot
allow others to conquer us. We are good but we need more. We need
to act as a continental nation constructed by many others nations
(Spain, UK…)!

contre et 106 abstentions, le Parlement européen a adopté, ce
mercredi 18 juin, la directive sur le retour des immigrés illégaux.
Ce texte qui a été massivement soutenu par la droite prévoit :
- une durée de rétention excessivement longue ;
- la détention d'enfants en centres fermés ;
- l’absence d'obligation pour les États d'organiser une
assistance juridique gratuite ;
- la possibilité d'expulser des personnes gravement malades vers
des pays où elles seront privées des soins pourtant nécessaires à
leur survie ;
- l'interdiction de séjour sur le territoire européen de 5 ans
pour toutes les personnes qui ont reçu un ordre de quitter le
territoire.
La seule porte de sortie face à ce texte scandaleux est la
faculté laissée aux Etats membres d’appliquer des normes plus
favorables.
Il y a des jours où j’ai honte d’être citoyen de cette Europe là.
Les derniers mois de débats autour du thème L'UE dans le
monde ont vu émerger de nombreuses propositions dans le cadre
du programme électoral pour les élections européennes de
2009.
A lot has
been written about the current financial crisis. We know that it
has been generated by the US subprime mortgages. These subprimes
are mortgages granted to people whose loan request had been refused
by “traditional” banks and who had been given by specialised
brokers a “second chance to realise the American dream of getting
their own home”. This was under “bad” conditions, mainly much
higher resetable interest rates. And since July 2007, we
unfortunately discovered how high the price to pay was: millions of
American borrowers have been strangled with so huge monthly
payments that they had no other choice but to leave their home.
In this story, there are a lot of things to debate, and we will
