My European vision is a greener, more peaceful Europe. Explained in more detail, where peace is restored on the continent and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is managed to be smoothed out diplomatically. Europe's economy is currently going through unprecedented difficulties. In my opinion, further sanctions are not an option. The diplomatic settlement of the conflict must be urgently resolved, for which both parties must create the necessary conditions. First of all, this should be sacrificed and not for further sanctions, as a result of which peace will be restored by 2040 and the economy will start to pick up. By 2040, the climate crisis will cause serious problems, which will become humanity's number one problem. In order to prevent this, we must act as soon as possible, which can only be brought about by green investments and because of which we have to reduce our comfort for a while in order to have a better future. Epidemiological measures will end for good by 2040 and Covid-19 will become a simple public disease, which will no longer pose a huge threat. However, in order to avoid further epidemics, certain restrictions may remain in place, such as the use of masks in hospitals and various public health institutions. Digitization will conquer such a huge space that it must be supported. However, we must be careful not to overdo it and in the end end up worse off with such investments, for example with unreasonably high prices, possible risks due to Internet crime. Immigration must be moderated and people must not be allowed in without checks. The problem must be solved locally and the Union must focus on this in the future in order to remain in a peaceful and calm environment. The only viable future for the European Union is to remain an economic alliance between nation states. In addition to the common European army, it can also be a military and law enforcement alliance. However, the independence of nation-states must not be lost. Everyone has their own culture and these should not be lost. According to everyone's own laws and wills, they must be independent and sovereign member states within the union. This is my Europe for 2040 in a nutshell!
