I was solely
interested in this article because of the headline regarding the "European
Way of Life". I find it very important to not only know about what is
going on in the United States but also what is going on in Europe because my
entire family is from Budapest, Hungary. My grandparents are refugees that
escaped through the holes in the iron curtain along the border of Austria and
came to America and that’s why I was lucky to be raised here. The rest of my
family did not get as lucky though; Most of them are still living there making
very low income and hoping for a possible chance of a green card and having
enough money to come live in America. Hungary and other countries in Europe are
struggling with horrible leaders and seeing how it is affecting people I know is why the article caught
my attention.
This article
identifies the fact that the originators of legislation within the EU don’t
have such a great record of their past. Many of the members of the new European
Commission cabinet has a background that makes people question their role. It
also focuses on the fact that politics has branded things to be the opposite of
what they really are. For example, the European Union is trying to redefine
"European" to mean pro-EU and this is why the UK is leaving Europe.
This is very upsetting and its causing outrage.
Another issue is
that the next European Commission that will most likely be approved by the European parliament will crackdown on people's personal freedom, overtax
consumers, and contort food and energy prices. This plan will impair a lot of
Europeans in the same way. People are at an outrage about politicians titles'
and they should be worried about the fact that the new high representative for
the EU's foreign policy resigned from a major academic post due to charges of
conflicts of interest. The upcoming agenda is going to hurt all Europeans and
they need to focus on that since many of them are already struggling to
survive, and I have seen this first hand through my family in Hungary. It is scary to think about how these plans are going to affect people in Europe and how everyone is going to handle it.
