Friday question: For such a visionary project, why does the EU have so many cowardly, mediocre politicians? Sure, some talk a visionary game, but when it’s time to act or announce policy proposals - even before debate & compromises - it’s almost always a surrender of EU values.
They almost always cave in to the extremist xenophobes, in particular. Look at the depressing appeasement strategy behind vdl’s “Migration Pact” to take just one recent example. Or Weber’s (& Tusk’s) endless cowering towards, and empowerment of, Orbán.
If we had had weak leaders like this back in the day, there never would have been any European integration project. They would have said, oh dear, the Nazis & fascists don’t want it, so we can’t do it. Just pathetic.
Appeasement of autocrats...
Why do some European leaders think it will work this time?
