The message that we must strive for “a Europe of peoples, with social justice, collective security and prospects for future generations,” sends PASOK Change Champion, Nikos Androulakis, In his statement on Europe’s Day.
“” No one falls in love with a common market, “Jacques Delor had rightly said. And he was right. Europe is-and it has to be-much more: the anxiety for peace, its social model, the protection of human rights, the collective hope for progress and justice, “says PASOK-KINAL President. “But today the Union is in danger of losing its soul: with deepening inequalities, addictions to critical areas and the quality of democracy being degraded,” He points out.
Mr. Androulakis emphasizes that “it is not enough to defend Europe”, but “we must, as Democrats and Progressive, transform it.” “With common steps towards political and economic integration, with a single, reliable European defense policy. Institutional initiatives in common foreign policy and defense should reflect solidarity among peoples and therefore in common architecture, third countries, which produce instability and threaten member states, should not participate in common architecture.“, He notes.
Finally, he emphasizes that “we have a duty to fight for a continent with strategic autonomy in a world of uncertainty, which intensifies revisionism and questioning international law. For a Europe of peoples, with social justice, collective security and perspective for future generations. “
