THE FRENCH-GERMAN APPROACH ON THE FUTURE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Summary/Abstract: The European political scene became uncertain in recent years, as several crises shook the continent from the ground. Starting with the BREXIT and the rise of populist parties all over the European continent and continuing with the migration crises, the Eurozone crises etc. – all of these led to the emergence of several scenarios and proposals for the future of the European Union. France and Germany were always at the core of the decision-making process, as they are two of the most important and powerful member states inside the Union, especially now that UK has decided to leave. Therefore, the rest of the Member States are looking up to them, expecting solutions for this general crises the EU is facing. This article seeks to analyze and determine the importance and influence these two Member States have inside the EU and how are they planning to use that influence in persuading others on following their action plans. Is it possible they join forces and start working together properly towards a common goal, or their historical past will catch up to them preventing them to think about the general wellbeing of the Union and the greater good?
