WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF EUROPE?

The health and economic crisis linked to Covid-19 has affected the European Union, but it has revealed more historic issues than it has created new ones. In particular, the crises has brought the issue of the elderly and the issue of ageing to the fore.

It has also exacerbated the problems of globalization and its consequences for the working classes.

Ultimately, the following questions arise: does Europe, which has dominated the world in so many ways, still have a future?
Can it, considering it is not really a geographical continent – hence the Russian and Turkish issues – find an ideal to which it can commit to the future?
Can it trace, as the poet Tennyson says, the reasons “to fight, to seek, to find, and not to give in”?
