“Brexit”: a British drama, a challenge for the EU
The British people’s decisive vote in favour of leaving the EU has triggered a myriad of different reactions which we need to put into focus. Members of the Board of directors of the Jacques Delors Institute take a stand in this Viewpoint.
| 22/07/2016
The Jacques Delors Institute takes a stand in this Viewpoint and focuses on 3 main issues:
1. The “Brexit” is primarily a British drama: render unto Shakespeare that which is Shakespeare’s
2. The “Brexit” is a national democratic choice, thus a specific case
3. The “Brexit” must encourage emphasis on why we are stronger together
The EU does not only need firemen, summoned by the “Brexit” to fight the blaze of a new crisis: its next step forward requires more than ever the mobilisation of architects and of prophets capable of restoring a compass and a soul to this unparalleled Union, forged in postwar grief but still making perfect sense in a globalised world for young people and future generations.
