A New Ambition to Overcome the Existential Crisis of the European Project

Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission, said in his State of the Union address (Strasbourg, 14 September 2016): “our Union is going through an existential crisis”. It is not the first time we hear or we say such words. In fact, the European construction has been a continuous questioning about who we are and what we want to be. How many times have we said that “Europe is at a crossroads”? Or that its crises are the engines of its construction? From the empty chair in 1965 to the failure of the European Constitution in 2015, crises and crossroads have been the permanent state of a project that was on its way, as Machado would have interpreted the community method.
