OPENING AUTHORITY (ΚΑΙΝΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΑΡΧΗ)

The digital age that should mark people’s improved and more comfortable lives has shifted a balance of modern human beings. Any real feeling and experience is now considered obsolete and anything we are new to try, banal. Social networks determine our relationships, which either do not expand or do not evolve to a large extent in their absence. At the same time, society suffers from difficult economic problems. Corrupt governments of states could only bring the situation to the end of the barley. A barbour that can only be crossed with real values. But also. Ethical principles are missing from governments, civil servants, education, young people from all over the world. Every act is considered normal as long as it satisfies our egoism. And if this egoism leads to at least one subtle spiritual investigation or an attempt to rehabilitate the labour market, we are lucky. Because most of them imitate the prominence and dreams. Most try to win the beauty when it should not have a place in their lives. What beauty do we talk to? Each defines it differently. The issue is that what is now considered to be a “coul” is often the one that destroys the whole. But everything is good! The cigarettes in each recess are scattered, such as margarites on a mountain pasture, and the graffiti are fired in the urban galleries, making a spectacle... What beautiful our cities are! Car smoke does not disturb us. Forgotten bins do not tempt us. It is enough that our cities are not flooded by climate change. It is enough that COP27 did not discuss us at all, but about something bitter African farmers who cannot feed their children.

If at least half of these problems could be solved by 2040, I would be happy. But we will find the values to bridge the gap between modern realities and real life?

The future of Europe, I hope, can be oriented toward the pursuit of the least possible environmental impact, the pursuit of scientific progress in the medical field, greater integration among peoples and less financial inequality among people, more attention to civil rights

Pollution would finally be falling, and a real awareness would have taken place everywhere (Europe and the rest of the world). No more active military conflicts in Europe and as few as possible in the rest of the world. Politicians would at last be willing to act for the good of all, and not for their own personal gain. Leaders would take a long-term view and not just look ahead to election dates...

The European Commission, that group of liberal satraps, has at last been replaced by democratically elected leaders, their cowardly behavior in the face of Russia having discredited them and led to a revolt by the nations that refuse to accept the expansion of the Ukraine they have maintained at arm's length, to the detriment of their agricultures, invaded by low-end products. Nations that came only to benefit from subsidies have been ejected, and are content with a free-trade agreement. Great Britain joined the Union as an observer. The bankruptcy of the German system and its coal-based energy finally made it possible to dispense with its tutelage. President Trump died, victim of Musk's coup. China tried again to invade Viet-Nam and took another beating. And I'm 89 years old.

I hope that in 2040 the current EU will become a federal state (EFV) with one army, one leadership, well armed and a major power within NATO. Japan and Australia and South Korea will join NATO. Lithuania will have a standard of living above the EU average. Ukraine will be declared a candidate for the EFV and will participate as an additional force in its defence structure. Lithuanian industry will be dominated by new technology companies and scientific institutions will be able to train qualified personnel for this field. Lithuanian agriculture will become a highly productive sector and will not require compensation from the State. Corruption will be extremely rare and punished severely, just like drug use and distribution. EFV units will be deployed on the territory of Lithuania, i.e. on the EFV border. It will be easy to do business in Lithuania, with well-developed opportunities to export products to third countries other than terrorist countries, including Russia.
