But they don’t grow on trees, they earn their merits in the parliaments of the member states. The sometimes frightening shift to the right in some EU countries makes life difficult for them – in terms of the challenges they face when working on the European stage. The frustration about such a development then increases – and the “successes” are even harder to communicate…. Once there are so few and when there are, they are small and often hardly touch the citizen. This is part of a disastrous downward spiral in which the great European idea finds itself. I would be more comfortable if Europe could come together as one – let’s say – “bloc”, speaking with one voice both economically and in matters such as foreign and security policy and environmental protection. Then people will listen again and Europe will be taken seriously. It is simply a complicated interplay between the external and internal perception of European policy and its effects.

Mr Iral has described the situation here in a way that I would describe succinctly and at the same time shed light on the background to the misery in Europe. Of course there are more “construction sites” in EU countries, the possibility of legal blocking of European politics BY Europeans should, in my opinion, be a thing of the past.
