“A really good idea can be recognized by the fact that their realization

seemed excluded from the outset.“

Albert Einstein

“Weil das was ist sich ändern kann, ist das, was ist, nicht alles.”

Theodor Adorno

“You cannot Fall in Love with a Single Market.

Europe needs a Soul.”

Jacques Delors, President of the European Commission (1985-1995)

State Market

Parliament

with no right of legal

initiative

Commission

which is no

Government

… but has

“Court Functions”:

Guardian of the Treaties

Council

which is driven

by national

interest

Governance is ownership for everybody but responsibility for none!

No real opposition no reversibility of politics

European Trilogy:

“We have created a monster.”

Thomas Piketty

“When the old world dies, and the new one isn‘t

born yet, we live in the

times of a monster.”

Antonio Gramsci

The so-called national interests are only the interests of the national political and economic elites,

in whose balance sheets the interests of the citizens are only depreciation masses.

Jean Monnet

Germany – overused solidarity?

- 100 Billion by negative interest on government bonds

since 2010 (Leibnitz Institute, August 2015)

- Profit, created by the creation of the euro (2002-2012 ):

300 Billion; 160 Billion for Germany (McKinsey 2013)

- Greek debt to Germany: 90 Billion.

Germany even made a profit in the case of having to

write off the debts!

French Presidential Election 2017

People - King Civil War

Un-united Crowd

Back to the future!

THE EUROPEAN REPUBLIC

The French Revolution brought equality

beyond social class.

The Suffragettes brought equality

beyond gender.

The Civil Rights Movement brought equality

beyond race.

It is now time for political equality

beyond the nation.

Principle of political equality means:

Electoral equality

Equal fiscal policy

Equal access to social rights

Let's stay in touch!

„Nation – that is an union of citizens

and not language, ethnicity or culture.“

“We need to relaunch European

democracy. Therefore we need a joint

budget, a strong European Parliament and

Minister of Finance for the Eurozone.”

Emmanuel Macron
