"Fortunately we are united," said the Berlin declaration of the EU heads of state and government on the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome in 2007. I wrote at this point, "the European success story continues.
Intensified climate change, more frequent environmental disasters, the collapse of states, wars, terrorism, famine and epidemics are accelerating migration movements worldwide.
Freedom, peace, democracy and economic prosperity - Europe's promise to its citizens. In a global comparison, we Europeans are also doing well.
It is not tradition, as Thomas More aptly put it, to preserve the ashes, but to carry on the flame. And you, Lord Mayor, have kindly agreed to do so.
Our Europe is in danger! Europe is not only crumbling at its edges, it is also eroding from its center.
This year in Heilbronn, we European federalists can not only look back on 60 years of the Heilbronn District Association of the EUROPA-UNION Germany, but also on 60 years of European competition.
As early as 1946, the self-confessed Europeans were also active in Heilbronn. A district group of the EUROPA-UNION, founded by fellow citizens of the city and district of Heilbronn.
Immediately after the Second World War, European federalists from all over the world came together again and began to realize their ideas for the benefit of all European citizens.
As a self-confessed European, it goes without saying that I demand “more Europe” in these difficult times. More Europe in order to solve many of our current problems together with the citizens of our neighboring countries and to be able to face future challenges better together.
We European federalists continue to commit ourselves unequivocally to a common Europe.
The process of European unification was successfully launched more than 70 years ago by private initiatives by committed Europeans.
