In 2040, the current European countries will be called the United States of Europe. It will be governed by a secretly elected parliament based on proportional representation, which will also control the common government. There will be freedom of speech, democracy, diversity, multilingualism and a prosperous and efficient economy. A green transition is taking place, using only renewable energy. Clean air, blue rivers and lakes.

I don't think it will be that different from our current life. Yes, some things will have changed but not very much. Some errors perhaps, might be resolved or get better. Such as healthcare, education and technology will hopefully progress and keep getting better and better. There might be a raised awareness of public mental health and better employment options for young people.

I want Europe in 2050 to be really strong. To be the third largest power in the world, fighting for democracy and the rights of peoples, without fear of threats of tariffs or other economic measures. I would like Europe to have managed to bring prosperity to all its territories and for children in Moldova not to walk miles on dirt roads in the rain and have their books in a supermarket bag. I would like Europe to become a lever of care so that there are no more homeless, hungry and helpless citizens. A Europe for Man and Democracy !

I see myself at peace in 2040. I have enough peace to live in, to be able to afford to travel with my supporters on any given day to a certain country, e.g. France, Paris. We can afford to go to bed in the morning and have a dinner, a breakfast and an evening meal. It does not have to be often, every two years. I see myself in the summer and I am full of energy and I am going to continue with my sporting activities in the future. I see myself in a mountaineering club with a good team conquering various peaks in Croatia. In one of the trails I am becoming a buck, I enjoy the little children, I am always there for them, they come to me, I go to them. I look at my child and I am proud of them because they have their own goodbyes and happy goodbyes. They have good salaries and they have solved a big problem. What I want is decent peace and health for myself, and for my child to be safe and healthy, to have a roof over their head so that they do not get carried away on rented rupees from their flats.
