Marie Le Pen is right, Europe is in a sort of war, every European capital throwing dirt on the others constantly.
But how about taking a clue from Austria-Hungary, the only functioning multinational country of Europe.
Austria-Hungary was created by an Ausgleich that was primarily a cultural exchange to facilitate a free mutual understanding of all language groups and all ethnic groups.
Now, in the unique new world of every communication legal and business with governments or others running mostly on the Internet, the European Union could bring in a law, to force every local municipality and national authority in every member state, to do all its publications in all those languages that are official in their neighbor states in addition to the local language.
Then, once every government document is published in all the neighboring languages, service petitions, all applications, and all court cases could be routed for processing in the member state of the language of submission.
Mixed language cases could be adjudicated by mixed language judge panels.
As the AH Ausgleich proved that the future is based on language freedom, the European Union could take a clue that they would need to produce such a language freedom before they think of survival.
Your take? Discuss.
