Ironically, we could ask: “what would have happened if enlargement had not been a priority”. The fact that never in the history of the EU has 13 years passed without enlargement speaks more to the priority this process has been than political declarations about the importance of enlargement as a high strategic priority. If this is the success of enlargement, then we do not know what the failure could be.
L’Italia di Meloni e la Germania di Merz si avvicinano sempre di più
In a detailed interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung last weekend, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz (Christian Democrats, CDU) outlined the ruling class’s programme of war and great-power politics. According to Merz, Germany must build “the strongest conventional army in Europe,” exceed NATO targets and prepare for a period in which “the law of the strongest” will once again apply. The era of a “rules-based order based on international law” is over, he said, adding that what matters now is “strength.”
Going through the same loop each day will never bring peace to Ukraine.
