The Commission is implementing a large and extremely ambitious program entitled ‘Promoting our European Way of Life’. The public Pan-European conference entitled ‘The Future of Europe’ shows that the EU is trying to provide answers to the creation of a coherent past and future.
To achieve this, it raises two key questions that seek in-depth answers:
1. The first question is ‘What is the European way of life’?
One possible answer would be that the European way of life consists of a culture based on common different cultures of European peoples that emerged after the end of the Second World War shaped by an interconnected and interdependent political and cultural orientation, slowly and gradually rejecting the nationalism of each European country.
This one and common culture is based on the rule of law, respect for human rights, freedom of speech, liberal democratic institutions, freedom of expression, the values of the open economy and society, the laissez faire laissez passer.
2. The second question “Who are the enemies or opponents of the European Way of Life”?
Governments that exercise state oppression and strict control over the Parliamentary opposition when religion takes precedence over Constitutional Law and generally when religion exceeds the Secular Law.
Governments that abolish the Constitution and legislation for the benefit of their power, restrict free press, imprison their political opponents, restrict citizens’ freedoms, and abolish gender parity.
But what is the grey area in the European way of life? But of course, the democratic societies of the EU member countries that do not want the way of life proposed and promoted (rightly in our opinion) by the Commission. Parties and governments of member countries that promote anti-liberal ideas and promote societies of purely ethnic populations by excluding other nationalities from participating in them.
