- Angela Merkel

About this Quote

This quote by Angela Merkel speaks with the disconnect between the European Union and its people. It suggests that many individuals do not feel a sense of connection to the EU, and as political leaders, it is our responsibility to resolve this issue. This could be done by increasing openness and communication in between the EU and its people, so that individuals can much better understand the choices being made and how they impact them. In addition, the EU must strive to make its policies more available and understandable to the public, so that people can feel more linked to the organization. In addition, the EU ought to concentrate on creating policies that benefit its citizens, so that people can see the concrete advantages of becoming part of the EU. By doing this, the EU can produce a more powerful bond in between itself and its residents, and guarantee that people feel linked to the organization.
