Evropská demokracie
#TheFutureIsYours Posilování evropské demokracie
Inside the EU there are tens of different languages spoken, this fragmentation affects the ability of european citizens to understand each other, talk to each other, and results in a decrease in working mobility, makes it harder to create a European culture, a European identity, and leads to a fragmentation in narratives and prejudices within the Union, that can, ultimately, end up in more Nations leaving the Union for a short term nationalist desire.
Very often a weird, wrong, idea roots inside one Nation even though it has been widely debunked in other Nations, just because the citizens of the first Nation are unable to access the public discourse of the other Nations, due to the language barrier.
It is extremely important to overcome the language problem choosing a common european language that must be taught in all member states schools, and spoken on national media (televisions, radios, newspapers) in all member Nations.
I'm writing this idea in english, even if my mothertongue is italian, because it shows how much easier it is to use a common language to reach all citizens instead of tens of different translations, that in this form is, as a matter of fact, impossible.
We cannot be a real Democracy (as European Union) as long as we (the EU citizens) are unable to speak fluently to each other and understand each other.
Thank you for your attention.
Long Life to Our beloved European Union.
