Med litet god vilja kan man väl säga att detta är en EU-kritik som kommer från ett litet överraskande håll.
Även i Bryssels bunkrar sipprar insikter ner som påminner om verkligheten.

Europe's glory days at an end, warns Juncker
... The European Union faces long-term economic decline and the “love affair” of integration is at risk, Jean Claude-Juncker has said in a downbeat assessment of the bloc’s future.
“Economically, we see the end of Europe’s glorious years compared with what others are doing,” the president of the European Commission said.
The “dream” of a unified continent is at risk from “fissures and fractures” of national divisions and separatist movements.
..“The European Union is not going very well,” Mr Juncker said. “And so we must ensure that we keep alive the ambitions, hopes and dreams of Europe.”
....“When I'm on another continent, I see eyes shine when those I visit talk about Europe. And when I return to Brussels or Luxembourg, I find myself in a valley of fears, a valle Lacrimarum. We do not know who we are, and we are not proud of the solid achievements of our predecessors.”
....“We can’t lose the people who always believed in us, the simple people who work, who aren’t any less intelligent than the elites. They’ve always supported Europe and it is about reconquering their heart.”
... Frans Timmermans, Mr Juncker’s deputy, warned of a crisis of support for the EU.
“What was unimaginable before now becomes imaginable, namely the disintegration of the European project,”
...“The European ideals still have very strong support among the population across Europe. What do not have strong support are European politicians and European politics.”

Undrar vad som behövs för att de enkla människor som arbetar och är lika intelligenta som eliten ska tro på detta projekt igen.....
