STATEMENTS FOR THE INTERACTIVE DISCUSSION May 19, 2006. KŐSZEG Dr Karel Majoor
I. EUROPE • Is it an invention or an illusion, a reality or a possibility? • A common history, a possible future or a living present? • What is the feeling Europe gives you? • What image do you have by it? Is it a peach or a rotten tomato? A lion or a crocodile? An old bike or a limousine?
II. • How different can you be and nevertheless be united? • How far can unification go without disrespecting differences? How far can the parallel with a family be done?
III. • Europe is all about money and conflict-solving. So stop telling idealistic stories.
IV. • Is regulation a sin? Or is violation of the regulation a sin? • Even in paradise there was regulation. The problem started with the violation of it. • Is regulation work of the creator and over-regulation devil’s work?
V. • Differences in languages, cultures and habits are not only problems and nuisances, but also challenges and chances. • Variety causes inventivity and creativity. • Curiosity is vital and needs to be promoted in schools and communities, in enterprises and factories.
VI. • Youth exchanges are vital for the further realization of the EU, or are they dull and obligatory and are you happy when they are over?
VII. • Europe needs brains and charm and youth and female energy, so let’s vote Judith Polgar for EU president
