Optimistic Europe

Luca Niculescu refers to a study put out by the Robert-Schuman-Stiftung on Europe Day: "In general, Europeans have a good opinion of Europe. Two thirds feel their attitude to the future of the EU is optimistic. ... But it is interesting that young people under 25 are far more optimistic than older adults. For the young, Europe represents a borderless territory for holidays, study and work, very much like in Cédric Klapisch's film 'Euro Pudding' Europe is a place to meet people, and makes life, studies and travel all the easier. It is also interesting that politics plays no role whatsoever for the young. But can the dreams of the so-called 'European generation' come true without politics? That is hard to believe."
