INTERVENTION. Last Exit after Brexit Can Europe still be saved?

Europe has never been under such attack as it is now. There are calls for integration to be reversed or this has already led to concrete steps being taken in some EU member states. The criticism is accompanied by very different assessments of the omissions and mistakes made in the past. In addition, global political players such as Trump and Putin are more or less openly hostile to the EU.

In contrast, the forces of cohesion appear to be waning and the defense of the EU as a political project is comparatively weak. European integration has many enemies, nationalism has become state doctrine in many countries, while the dream of a united Europe is hardly attractive anymore.

Two weeks before the European elections, the Römerberg Talks in the “European City of Frankfurt” would like to know whether Europe can still be saved in view of the widely articulated disappointments and the rampant hatred of “Brussels”. And if so, what would the necessary steps for such a rescue look like? And what can we hope for?
