Introduction of the new directive can be dangerous not only because of extending the state’s and EU’s powers onto a new area of people’s activity. It will be harmful for the CSR itself.

However, there are many who think that future challenges can only be faced by further enlargement and deepening of the European unification process.

Can this situation be a kick start for a new Europe? Are we in the middle of a tragedy or at the beginning of an opportunity?

And I will end with a proposal for a new institutional framework, grounded on the understanding that we should recognize the confederal nature of the European Union, but that we should at last integrate true democracy in it.

The Catalonian president has unilaterally declared the date of an independence referendum – November 9, 2014. The Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy, supported by the EU president Herman Van Rompuy, has immediately declared that there will not be any referendum.

Cameron got Britain into an isolation. Isolation that is not splendid at all.

That brings me to my main point; the biggest threat to Europe is economic populism. The European debt crisis has proved what should have been clear much earlier.

New populist extreme right which \"assumed a political party form\" is found also in other European countries and in the democracies of the third wave - post-communist countries.

In all the established democratic Western societies, the very popular and charismatic pontificate of Pope John Paul II did not interrupt, or even slow down, the pace of the secularisation process.

The foreign press wrongly describes this party is far right. In reality it is extreme populist, nationalist in Nazi sense, uses NSDAP-like regalia, advocates nationalization of industries and land, expel of foreign investors, sterilizing gypsies and restricting the rights of Muslims, central planning of exchange and interest rates, prices and wages, getting the country out of NATO and the EU.
