EU : SOCIAL + POLITICAL UNREST !


The attrocities of the Islamic State in the Middle East have provoked a flood of Refugees into the EU.  As a result many Countries in the EU are facing Social upheavals Nationally and many politicians in the EU now want  changes to the sacred rules of the European Union !

Ironically, today is May 1, - Labour Day and there will be Marches and Demonstrations in countries all over Europe !   Will they provoke any action by Leading MEPs or by National Leaders in the EU Council in Brussels ?  

The basic principles on which the EU was founded, were adopted in the peaceful years following the end of the Second World War in May 1945.  More than 50 years later, some of these principles are now outdated, even unacceptable, because the World around the EU is  continually changing.  

These principles at present prevent, even forbid, National Parliaments to take the action necessary to  defend their own EU Citizens properly, from unwanted Immigrants and even from Terrorists ! 

However, some countries have defied these rules !  They have dared to reintroduce passport controles and built razor wire fencing on their Borders !   Is this not the kind of protection which all EU Citizens want and expect ?   

However, this is an infringement of the basic concept of the Freedom of Movement of EU citizens in EU Treaties ! 

Should Politicians in Brussels not now quickly act and change Treaties, to preserve all EU citizens and the European Union itself ?
