LE PROJET EUROPEEN DU RASSEMBLEMENT NATIONAL

Submitted by christian on Wed, 05/01/2019 - 16:06

La coopération européenne ne peut s’envisager sans définir ce qu’est l’Europe. Les nations d’Europe ont en commun des valeurs de civilisation, des racines et une histoire communes qu’elles puisent dans la Grèce et la Rome Antique puis la Chrétienté et l’humanisme de la Renaissance. Dans l’histoire, même assez récente, les pays d’Europe ont connu des conflits et des guerres souvent liés aux velléités d’ériger des empires en subordonnant et en niant les réalités nationales. Il faut se garder de cette dérive qui caractérise aujourd’hui l’Union européenne.

Anti-establishment right-wing parties are expected to increase their share of seats significantly, and could become the second force in the European Parliament (20% with 147 seats) ahead of S&D should they agree to coalesce in spite of their differences. Eurosceptic parties across the continent will improve on their positions and could possibly make up a third of the European Parliament seats after the elections in May.
