It was a sunny morning in September 2050 when I set out on a journey to the heart of Europe's future. As I traveled through Zagreb by autonomous electric vehicle, I noticed how public parks had transformed the congested streets. People were gathering in botanical gardens, exchanging ideas, and creating collective projects for a sustainable future.

Between 2025 and 2050, the world underwent a significant transformation. Cities became self-sufficient, and renewable energy replaced fossil fuels. Inspired by eco-innovations, I visited a center for innovation where young experts were working on developing new technologies for recycling plastic waste into bioplastics.

After lunch, I strolled along the Drava River, where cherry blossoms were falling from trees and providing a source of food. We were all connected – nature, technology, and people. In that instant, I realized that the future we had dreamed of was finally a reality. And every day was an opportunity to create a better world.

As I continued my journey, I witnessed a Europe where borders were no longer an issue, and people from all walks of life were living together in harmony. The air was clean, the water was pure, and the earth was thriving. I saw a generation of innovators and leaders who had taken responsibility for shaping their own future and that of their planet.

In this Europe of 2050, sustainability was not just a buzzword; it was a way of life. People had come together to create a world where technology and nature coexisted in perfect harmony, where the needs of the present were met without compromising the future. It was a future that was not just possible, but already here – a reminder that the choices we make today shape the world we live in tomorrow.

I returned to the present with a renewed sense of purpose, inspired by the people and projects I had met on my journey. I knew that creating a better world would require effort, creativity, and determination, but I also knew that it was achievable. And so, I encouraged others to join me on this journey, to dream big, and to work together to build a Europe that was truly for all.

Asterix el europeo

Little remains of that European dream. The second decade of the century awakened the worst imperialist dreams, and they were not able to face them. The nations have been gradually selling themselves to other powerful countries, for a desire for survival that was confirmed as false. History has been cyclical, it has always been cyclical. But in that wheel that turns and turns, there are always those who are below, and also those who are above. The European dream has been deteriorating. The welfare state does not exist. We become little more than colonies of powerful nations. What in its day was a solution to grow, does not stop being a bad resignation, of a group of neighbors, who lose their principles, in an increasingly degraded plant. There is no choice but to look for that Gallic village, which always resists the Roman Empire.
