80 years ago, the UN General Assembly started with a dream: to maintain peace and security in the world.

The good?
Eight decades without World War III.

Where do we stand today?
It’s complicated.

But in a world of 8 billion people, it’s the only room where everyone gets a seat.

80 years ago, we chose dialogue over force.
Today, we must choose it again.

@EUCommission

I'll not joke for your typo (World War III), you stop to joke with our feelings.

I'm European, proud to be part of a dream. I was here when we promised ourselves "NO MORE WAR IN EUROPE and in world".
I was so happy when I saw no more boundaries between countries.
My daughter could travel and work everywhere and feel at home in EU. Wonderful!
It is great, it is the pillow on which WE dream.
But while we, people, are dreaming, you, politics, are fucking everything.
Stop do it.

@storiespettinate @EUCommission it wasn’t a typo. Read the text once more. It says: without WWIII

@JohanDiederik @EUCommission

oh yes. My dyslexia bring me in error. I'm sorry for that.
@JohanDiederik thank you to correct me.

But the sense of my feeling doesn't change.

The current choices of EU are not at the level of our really power, culture, democratic dream and union. The european people are better than their politics, we have higher dreams and objectives.

@storiespettinate @JohanDiederik @EUCommission I agree with your feeling, but I feel compelled to point out that the (justified) criticism about the EU’s lack of power, democracy and union has come about because the democratically elected governments of the member states are unwilling to really cede power to the EU. Every country has political parties willing to go that route, but they are never elected.

@jeroen94704 @JohanDiederik @EUCommission

my dear Jeroen... you are killing me.

Consider: I'm from Italy.
Think about the current government of this country.

So, now, please hug me and wipe my tears, please! 😂 😂

@storiespettinate @JohanDiederik @EUCommission Don't feel bad. Here in the Netherlands, of the second (PVV), third (VVD) and fifth (JA21) largest parties are "Euro-sceptic" to varying degrees. The only silver lining is that the most anti-EU of those (PVV and JA21) will not participate in the new cabinet.
