The first and last time I was right in front of the European Parliament in Brussels was in January 2018 to take a look at the building and the museum next to it. The building in which the parliament constitutes itself look very huge and overwhelming. Those descriptions exactly describe the current perspective looking at the European Union by many EU citizens. And that is for a reason.
The European Union is going through a tough time since the financial crises in 2008 and still aims to recover itself from all the misinterpretation and crises that it has been facing. The refugee crises for example is to this date a problem waiting to be solved and keeps being pushed away.
It’s safe to say that it’s not the fault of one political ideology but the whole political community by not being able to create a habitable country for the refuge seeking human beings in their homelands. Misinformation from minor groups are just one of the reasons the continent still suffers in such a miserable shape or form. The question of the survivability and continuation of the current system seems very open and the future of the European community of values also seems undeclared. It’s one of the uncertain times facing Europeans.
Election time! Good time?
It’s for sure not a good time to ask for votes being a member of the European political system but it most surly must be since from May 23 to May 26 elections for the European Parliament will be held all across the European continent. The campaigning for the votes of is starting slowly but surely beginning in April.
Manfred Weber is aiming to get elected as President of the European Commission with the support of the European People’s Party (EEP) parliamentary fraction with fourteen party behind it.
Mentioning the EEP fraction may also remind you, the reader, of the conflict between the EVP parties and the Hungarian president because of the usage of anti-EU advertainments for the Election of the European Parliament. The party incited against the current EU Commission President Jean Claude Junckereven though he is an elect of the fraction that he is in.
May problems appear looking at the state of the union
As you can see, problems within the European Union add up quickly and seem to influence the perception of the citizens looking at the future of the European Union. It’s a big topic regarding the upcoming election for the parliament because anti-EU Parliamentarians could get a very heavy influence over the administration of the European Union.
The future of the European Union is going to be influenced of the outcome from the upcoming election in May.
That is also why it’s mandatory as a citizen of the European Union to inform yourself about the parties and fraction working in the European Parliament.
If you want to know what you can do to inform other about the upcoming election, then I recommend you to look at the website https://www.thistimeimvoting.eu.
I'm very exited to see the upcoming campaigns of all political figures and look forward to the election date. Hope that you are too!
