Out of the 165,000 #covid19-related deaths, over 100,000 took place in #Europe, despite the most sophisticated & widely available health systems and highest levels of public spending.

Beyond the issue of #Coronabonds and unemployment reinsurance, the #covid19 crisis highlights the fact that Europe is not able to act as one, even when it is most needed. When a crisis hits, we revert to uncoordinated national plans and competition. The result is more casualties.
Yesterday, the Presidents of the #EuropeanParliament, #EuropeanCommission, #EuropeanCouncil and #ECB celebrated the 10 years of the #LisbonTreaty. It marked a step forward, yet the #EU remains blocked by unanimity and has not strengthened its democracy.
10 years after the #LisbonTreaty and despite a provision to the contrary, we are still forced to have exactly one Commissioner per Member State -- with no considerations for the efficiency of our #EU governance.
10 years after the #LisbonTreaty, the #EU remains unable to act swiftly to resolve crises, defend its interests and promote its values. Where is the EU in #HongKong? In #Ukraine? In #Xinjiang? Have we ensured social protection for all Europeans? A European defence?

#Transnationallists are, at best, a symbol; but they keep elections in the hands of national parties talking only to national electorates. A real federal Europe needs MEPs elected close to the citizens. And it needs real #EuropeanParties that talk directly to citizens. #toFedEU
Not to say "I told you so", but I did warn the @federalists that there would be little appetite for reform beyond #transnationallists from France/Germany. Now is the time to broaden the debate and ask for a more thorough reform! #toFedEU
Débat @UEF_France entre Michael Malherbe @lacomeuropeenne et Fabrice Pozzoli-Montenay journaliste sur les enjeux de la campagne des élections européennes #JeChoisislEurope #IChooseEurope #ToFedEU
«Les élections européennes à venir sont le match retour du référendum de la constitution de 2005 en pire: les europhobes sont organisés et la bien pensance est maintenant d’être anti européenne.» @lacomeuropeenne
«Le gouvernement ne joue pas le jeu de formuler un programme & des idées, il avoue déjà sa défaite morale, dangereux.» @lacomeuropeenne
