Cosa resta della dignità?

EN | IT | FR | DE – Since the visit of John-Paul II in 1988, Europe and the European Parliament have definitely changed. The Iron Curtain has fallen, the European Union has enlarged, but the world has become more complex and disturbing. Europe has lost its weighty influence in a world which is no longer centred upon Europe.

Hence the doubt and mistrust of European citizens.
