Warum Europa eine föderale Union werden muss

More and more calls emerge for a federal Europe. Silver Tambur from Estonia argues that the European Union’s current loose confederation model leaves it too fragmented, weak in defence and overly reliant on external powers like the US for security. He urges to speed up the ever-closer Union because only a fully federal Europe will effectively protect its people and play a meaningful global role.

Tambur invokes historical advocates of unification and proposes a federal parliamentary structure that balances equal representation for smaller states with population-based representation.
