This year’s EU election will be the “last chance” to kill populism, Guy Verhofstadt has warned, calling for sovereignty-destroying “reform” which would transfer national powers to Brussels.
In an interview with five influential establishment newspapers from across the continent on Tuesday, the veteran MEP and Brussels’ Brexit coordinator gave his backing to the vision of a federal EU superstate unveiled by Emmanuel Macron earlier this week.

“The union envisioned by [the French president] is a Europe that can stand on its own two feet, in a world of great powers in which EU nations would not be able to protect their own interests and way of life by themselves,” he said.
Asserting that “nothing is eternal”, the Belgian politician stressed that, without a statist Brussels takeover — which would see Eurocrats create an EU army, seize control over national borders, migration and bloc-wide energy policy, and even “organise the internet in a European way” — a populist “nightmare will become reality”.

The 65-year-old, who has led EU Parliament’s Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) for a decade, called for the creation of “a single Euro-African economic area” at a conference of the EU parliamentary grouping last week, claiming such a construct would have an “enormous potential … able to rival with China” in terms of consumer numbers.

The same people who screamed at the top of their lungs about militarism during Iraq cannot wait to get their hands on an E.U. Army.

The guy wants his Colonies back?
The guy is the spiting image of a Euro-Trash Commie.

Horrifying
and he thinks that voters are going to go for this WHY, exactly??
Right down to the crumpled suit and halitosis.
Obviously, a war to suppress exiting nations can not keep the battlefield contained within those nations when even citizens within France, Belgium, and Germany oppose Brussels.
When the Fabian Society and the Frankfort School conceived this plan back in the period between the world wars mass air travel did not exist. Cheap telecommunications for the masses did not exist. Workers did not travel to and from the middle east in the hundreds of thousands every year while maintaining contact with their friends and families the entire time.
Yet the plan to indoctrinate the populace of the west is derailed by all the people who live and work there or who have done so in the past.
The best thinkers within socialism came and went decades ago. There has been no one who could revise the plan or even understand the need.
The European Union will collapse into war, just as Europe cyclically has for thousands of years.
USE. United States of Europe? Fidiots. I remember when a trip to Europe was fun. Now, couldn’t care less.
The problem is the Belgians in general, were never very Nationalistic to begin with, since they were a false mix of Dutch and French.
It’s no wonder one of the most ardent Nazis, turned out to be a Belgian, Léon Degrelle.
Nationalism is not insane. Globalism is.
Looks like Hitler w/o the mustache
Hearing some positive things out of Europe these days. Notable not this guy. Hoping they get their act together.
“When the Fabian Society......”
Wait,what? Fabian had a society named after him? Really? I mean he was a really good looking guy but couldn’t sing worth a sh*t!
How do things like this happen. This rivals Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize!
Last chance for them to assume a throne in their country, last chance to have their own people hunted by the politically protected invaders they allowed in, last chance for globalism to secure its foothold

I don’t think the Chinese would agree to that.
