tip..: The EU webside that want your ideas for the shape of the future of europe is a total joke.
Personaly i was censored 3 times when i came with suggestions about how to send back home migrants, and that i would like a europe without Islam since their belief is non combinable with western and the oppositive of our western values + the Quran inspire muslims in bad way by inpiring to use voilence and supress woman, and free speach and many other such things.
All 100% legit claims and everything can be documented. And the part about sending home migrants are actual just ideas from the Danish press so its even main stream debate.
But the EU censor things anyway, that is not okay and even a breach of the european law about freedom of speech.

The leaders of these countries should have a talk first. Everyone telling their issues and needs to work better together, communication is necessary for finding solutions! And over 1 or 2 years you come with a conference, what should be announced on local TV of every country and news-sites / news-papers. Each country should make an effort to inform people of what progress is made.

Future of EU is even more youth unemployment due to continued lack of investment in skill development in many countries, more corrupt politicians, utter lack of support for innovation and private entrepreneurship, infighting amongst member states over imaginary values, bad decisions of spending money in big ticket projects with unproven technologies and poor returns, sinking more money trying to prop up old and state run companies with near obsolete technologies(Areva, anyone ??), massive uncontrolled migration due to war, social unrest and COVID battered economies all around it and overall deterioration of EU citizen's quality of life than they were in the past. Its not fearmongering just the current trend which will amplify in due course. EU cannot succeed as a great power in the long run because it prioritizes ideologies over pragmatism. That is surely a a recipe for disaster in the long run in a more ideologically divided world where everyone is for themselves. UK was quick to realize that and will gradually get back to its feet even after some initial difficulties. Its too late for EU to reform as its structure doesn't allow it to be nimble and responsive to generational changes and react accordingly. JMT though.
