European Student Think Tank

Ever since the begin­ning of the fin­an­cial crisis France and Ger­many have taken on the role of lead­ers for the EU. They decide what hap­pens and how it is done; they decide who stays in power and who has to be taken out. How­ever is this really the only way the EU can be gov­erned, or are there ways to prefend the dom­in­a­tion of two nation states within the EU?

On this web­site we have devoted a good amount of art­icles to the incon­sist­ent Human Rights agenda of the EU. While the EU is try­ing to turn the globe into a ‘Human Rights Para­dise’, its own Mem­ber States don’t seem to be very com­mit­ted to this agenda when it comes to their own internal policy: com­mon know­ledge for every edu­cated reader. Even though you might get tired of this con­stant, mono­tone, mes­sage of our blog­gers, I’d like to add another para­graph to the Mem­ber States’ ‘crim­inal record’: It con­cerns the Roma in Italy.
