Described as the best project ever started, as the united future of the countries on the continent.Can the EU ever fail.As we all know, nothing lasts forever, but is this wonderful idea of equality, with all the promises for bigger salaries and everlasting democracy, which up until recently were something usual for most of the members.Are actually our rights and opportunities really endangered?Besides the crises, this word so popular the last few years whit all of its financial aspects and restrictions, we have to deal with other as important problems of the union.
First of all those restrictions are not the answer.No, the right way I believe to get us out of this so called crises is to pull ourselves out by our hair as Baron Munchausen. The word capitalism is in my opinion not a dirty one and we should not fear from it because it could help a lot in this case. Why should not we open our country for the business, why should a country like mine make it so hard for it to proceed with this corruption we are facing, where it is more important who you know and not what you know.The first thing we need to do in order to solve those problems is to change the way people think, to make them understand that the EU idea of free people who do not need to give money in order to go forward is the right one.

This is where another huge problem comes in place. It is called scepticism and is even worse then any economic one because how would a project survive if the people who are part of it, who are there from the moment everything began are staring to forget the true reason, the idea we are united to. Why is this happening? I would say it is not only  because of  economic problems, they are not the reason for this. Is the lack of trust in the institutions that they are capable of pulling us out, of leading us to prosperity and rich future.However, those who only consider what they don’t have should think of what they do and to know that there area lot of countries with no freedom and peace, with  rights in danger, with dictators rulling and no matter they are out of the EU this does not mean they do not deserve to be helped if we are able to do it.

Some are saying that the wealth is not distributed as it should be , but if we look in the past, we would see that the tries for its redistribution have failed and this is because taking something we have worked so hard for and giving it to others can never be just. I am not saying that there should be only poor and very rich people, I am saying that we need to work together.No one is stopping us from being rich, we only need to have the unique idea and the will to success.We need to share our views and I believe that the business could help a lot to a country.If someone could lead a company in such way that all of its workers are happy, then why such person to can not lead a country or a union.This person, however,  should know that with greater power comes the greater responsibility for the people.They should help those who live with  just a few bucks a day, who are starving, who can not find a way to educate their children, but we should help them not with money.The way we should do it is with knowledge.If  they do not have food, let us show them how to get it, if their children do not have a school to go, we should build it, because they are the only hope, they are the future.If someone does not have money instead of just giving it , it would be better to provide him or her with a steady job, no matter how hard this may be, because there are some people who are helping once and others who are solving the problems once and for all.The question, which group we belong to, could only be answered by us, by our heart and soul.

Another problem is that the hole union depends only on one  country and this is Germany.It is not bad for EU to have a strong engine, but how could one country use it’s strength to lead a whole union, no matter how strong it is.With Greece nearing default and Italy being in not so better condition , calls are always going out for Germany to step in to help.I am sure many Germans would respond with displeasure.Instead, we should try to perform sustainable reforms in Greece like privatization, efficient tax collection and improvement in the tourist industry.Our success should not be only ours and our failure should not be only an EU failure.The EU could help, but can not be responsible for a well-being of a member.In order for those problems to be solved, people and local leaders should think globally, should trust in the EU and should consider their success as a success of the hole union, not of their personal, should share their views and should debate more in order to take the right decision.

No matter whether the EU would be destroyed, vanished or forgotten, the leaders and all people who want equal rights, equal opportunities, who want to work together, not as a nation, but as a one for happier life, for a better future, should never stop till the fight is done and their dream, my dream, of the union I  believe in, is built more powerful and bigger than ever before.
