In view of the current geopolitical challenges and the urgent need for reforms in the European Union, Thomas Kattnig, a leading member of the Younion- the existing union, has called for the existing debt regulations of the Stability and Growth Pact (SWP) to completely suspend. According to Kattnig, the current budget rules urgently stand in the way of public investments in social infrastructure. "We need more flexibility in public investments," emphasizes Kattnig to ensure a sustainable European industrial policy and high -quality public services, such as ots.at reported.

kattnig emphasizes the central role of the European social model: "High -quality and affordable public services are essential for European security architecture and climate protection." In order to support these structures, it would be necessary to grant the Member States more national autonomy for the design of their services and at the same time ensure high social standards. In addition, Kattnig demands strict social conditions for public funding and aid, especially in the area of ​​security and defense to improve the quality of jobs.

The need for such measures becomes clear in the context of current crises in Europe. The EU not only has to cope with the economic effects of the Covid 19 pandemic, but also meet the challenges through migration and the decline in the trust of the citizens to the European institutions. According to an analysis by the Federal Center for Political Education, the EU is plagued by numerous challenges, including increasing skepticism compared to European unification and the success of European parties. There is an urgent need to give citizens a feeling of participation and influence on political decisions, as has often been neglected in the past, according to the article at bpb.de .
