The Pope is just stating fact. To succeed, the EU states must integrate. This Pope is the best Pope I have experienced. Viva il Papa!
what does "the EU states must integrate" mean?
European integration is the process of industrial, fiscal, political, legal, economic, social and cultural integration, i.e. coming together, of the EU states, with an end that will resemble the status of the states of the US vis-a-vis each other and the federal state.
Won't that just put the center of power further and further away from the people?
If Europe doesn't want to be overwhelmed by the super-states, U.S., China, India, Russia, even Brazil the Europeans will have to accept that a federal government has to negotiate with the other super states.
forget yourself for a moment and use your brain. The European Union is made of different countries. People want to keep those countries. And they have integrated and they have kept the countries.
