Vision

SCROLL

Une Europe de la force.
Une Europe des valeurs.
Une Europe qui protège.

Ce n’est pas un hasard si les pères fondateurs de l’idée européenne ont placé sous contrôle européen les industries qui étaient considérées comme les forges d’armes des nations européennes: le charbon et l’acier. En 1950, l’objectif était de préserver la paix et de créer la prospérité. Aujourd’hui, les Européens doivent lutter pour leur futur rôle dans le monde globalisé. Il s’agit d’un changement de paradigme, passant d’une orientation nationale à une orientation mondiale. Pour y parvenir, nous devons unir l’Europe et la rendre capable d’agir à l’extérieur.
