Democratic Europe (Demokratična evropa)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040, I want to continue to live in a democratic society. I hope that after periods of crisis as it is now (covid-19 crisis, Russian invasion...), we will not witness a repetition of history, with reference to the arrival of any totalitarian systems in power. In order to avoid this, we need to maintain zero tolerance for such movements, namely, I believe that in some parts of Europe they are not excessively distant from such movements. That democracy should continue to be a practice and not just a pretext under which different interests of individual leaders hide. The autonomy of the media, the right to express opinions, the right of women to vote, all of which are the privilege that people have chosen in the past, is our duty not to take this for granted. However, my announcement remains optimistic, as I believe that my generation (young people) is much more aware of what our predecessors were. From this perspective, I believe that we will continue to live in a democratic society, where every citizen or member of a given community will have a say, the possibility of expressing satisfaction and dissatisfaction in symbiosis with autonomous media, which will act as a means of pursuing the interests of all and not just a handful of people in power. However, in order to achieve my announcement, it will be necessary to do what to do. The main thing is that young people are educated about the media, about politics and that they are actively participated in politics, as it is the guise of democracy which, according to my assessment, has not been used best in recent years, so there is some dissatisfaction for which we have been co-responsible by everyone who has not done anything to prevent the current situation from emerging.

Stipri ir konkurencinga Europa be migrantų
I would like Europe to be safe, there would be no more migrants who break the law and exploit Europe's legal loopholes and people's goodness. I would like the European economy to be the strongest in the world, with manufactured goods meeting standards and being a sign of cocube in the world. I would like Europe to have a political backbone and a greater concern for the people of Europe and their well-being
