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.

DRUGACNOST
I am now living in 2040 and my children are facing a very different world. All lessons are only half an hour. All lessons are done behind computers and strange electronics. The weather has also got better, it very rarely rains and snow falls in abundance during the winter. The climate is controlled by us humans. We have also got medicines for almost everything (cancer, covid). The world has changed completely

Le retour de la sérénité
Given the current geo-political situation, I'd like our world to be at peace, less polluted, and for everyone to be able to live in harmony and on their own terms, for life to be peaceful and for the products needed for everyday life to be accessible to all. I hope that the world of politics and trade unions will at last be serious, balanced, respectful of everyone and listen to them with respect.

Des nouveaux isolants
In 2040, I'd like to see housing and dwellings upgraded to cope with climate change. To do this, we'd have to invent (if we haven't already done so) special exterior insulation that would protect against both heat and cold. Living conditions would really improve, and everyone would be able to live better and cope with extreme temperatures.

De la solidarité sociale à l'intelligence par l'investissement et le travail
The French, our politicians and European partner states are trying to correct the problems they have created by multiplying standards and administrative constraints, allowing distorted competitive trade and uncontrolled immigration. In 2040, competition is free and undistorted, in the sense that our companies are protected from European and international competition. Our Western values are defended tooth and nail. Priority urban neighborhoods no longer exist, because we've broken the all-social business. Local employment is preserved, and the social and political climate is calmer. Society is egalitarian because it is based on investment and work, not social debt.
