What do young people think about European Union? What do they feel about it?
A short fragment of the story
Young people are critical. When we talk about the European parliament we ask ourselves why we need it if nothing is actually decided there. The parliament busies itself with environmental politics or the length of the bristles on toothbrushes. To young people, this seems rather unnecessary and a waste. A united Europe is important for keeping up peace, but rather as an opposite pole to the USA.
Why this story is important
This story is important because it reflects the point of view of young people regarding the European Union. It makes us think about the original meaning of it and about what it became.
