Europe Needs to Renew its Vows for Federal Union | ||
in Federalist Debate (The) , Year XXVI, n. 3, November , 2013 | ||
Euro-sceptics are shamelessly exploiting the current economic crisis to misrepresent and undermine the European Union, its history, its institutions, its goals and its working methods. Like a marital union, the EU requires constant attention, support and belief that it can work in difficult as well as good times or else it risks separation and divorce. It is time now for a renewal of vows; to recommit to a federal union that is more stable, more efficient and more accountable. | ||
