The common European debt as a prospect for the political development of the Union

Under the impulse of Paris and Berlin, which are confirmed as the two leading members of the European Union, the future of Brussels is outlined through an investment policy with loans at low interest rates. The budget should be around five hundred billion euros in favor of the countries most affected by the pandemic and, therefore, with heavy economic repercussions. This investment, which will be limited in time, seems to go in the opposite direction to that which has so far distinguished the European Union, marked by an exaggerated adoption of policies of financial rigor. From a political point of view, if this is true, it will deal with the declaration of war against the reasons of sovereignty and anti-European movements. The intention is to create a new cohesion between states, which must then have practical consequences in social cohesion within the states and between the peoples of different nations. What you want to have are long-term effects, starting from the immediate intervention, with effects that create new virtuous dynamics. According to the two leaders, French and German, the European response, albeit with some setbacks, has made it possible to intervene through concrete medical aid, but has also highlighted contrasts already present; the example of those states that have closed national borders indiscriminately applies to all. This contributes to the declared will to arrive also at the modification of the treaties. If this could favor the affirmation of the founding European values, it will be sad, but we will have to thank the pandemic event. One reason that seems to be at the basis of this huge allocation is to find independence in the production of some sanitary materials, which have proved essential, but that the manufacture has been allocated abroad for mere reasons of lower costs. This has led to a lack of sovereignty, this true and proven, of Europe as a whole due to the need to depend on other countries and, therefore, to be subject to the lack of direct management of these materials. Bringing the production of various goods back to Europe is the first step towards guaranteeing autonomy which is above all political. The result of this allocation could disappoint those countries that asked for higher amounts, however there were however several national trends that were not in favor of this financing: the final result says that it went clearly against these wishes, which would have seriously compromised the prospects of European union . One of the consequences that must be achieved is to encourage the creation of leading European industries, able to compete globally with similar Chinese or American groups, but to do this it is not enough to inject large quantities of liquidity into the system, but also build a different legal approach with the change in competition law within the continent. To do this, Merkel and Macron judge the role of their countries as a driving force compared to the other twenty-five, this may not appeal to other partners, especially important ones, but it must be specified, that at the present time, some leading European nations are failing to express a united vision on the European role, because they are crossed by even deep contrasts; these countries, which have, however, a great potential for joining Europe, can take advantage of the driving effect of the financial allocation, and then go on to play a role comparable to that of Berlin and Paris today. The conflicts to be overcome and overcome are others, those that come from countries that compress the freedom of the press and civil rights, which favor anti-Semitism and all those measures that do not favor democratic life and which consequently deny values European and are practically outside the union, at least in a moral sense. The financial investment serves to recover the trust of the European population, through a redistribution of wealth achieved through the availability of work and easy access to health, education and safety; thus the nationalistic pressures are defeated, which coincide with the affirmation of illiberal positions incompatible with European ideals. Also in this sense it is hoped that the treaties will be revised in a sanctioning sense towards those states that do not comply with European regulations. The intent, therefore, is right, the starting point seems correct: if the results that will follow in practice, respond to these approaches, we can say that we have finally achieved a concrete result for Europe, after so many years of disappointments.
