„Ce qui est important, ce n‘est, ni d‘être optimiste, ni pessimiste, mais d‘être déterminé.“ (Written by @[email protected])

[Gerald Knaus @rumeliobserver]

„Only immediate action“

The next meeting in a gilded room in Paris must do much better then refer to „the conclusions of a meeting in Versailles in March 2022“. Meet in a sombre setting. And invite Turkey and Canada, too. 🇹🇷🇨🇦

European countries need to work on effective deterrence, including nuclear. (Not relying on the US.) And start now.

Jean Monnet knew, at the most dangerous moment of the Cold War, that only dramatic action, not mere words, mattered:

"I remembered Roosevelt's formula that so struck his countrymen: "We have nothing to fear but fear itself."

In [Europe] in 1950, fear led to paralysis and paralysis led to fatality. It was necessary to get things moving again: "We need to change the course of events. To do this, you have to change people's thinking. Words are no longer enough.

Only immediate action that addresses an essential point can change the current static situation.

What is needed is a profound, real, immediate and dramatic action that changes the situation and brings hope back into the reality that people can no longer believe in."

Le 9 mai 1950, Jean Monnet avec l’aide de Robert Schuman lançait les bases de ce qui allait devenir l’intégration européenne : des réalisations concrètes, des solidarités de fait, avec l’objectif de faire de l’Europe l’égale des 🇺🇸 , un partenaire pacifique des autres puissances mondiales et de mettre fin aux guerres sur le continent européen - une héritage incomparable, aujourd’hui souvent, hélas, détourné, dévoyé et mal interprété

[Pablo Pérez @PabloPerezA]

The first draft of what it became the Schuman Declaration of 9 May. With comments by Jean Monnet’s hand.

There was at least 9 of these until the final one.

That was our secret - and I have used it on many other occasions in my life. It is so simple that no one usually notices: you just have to ask the right questions and find the goodwill that always exists somewhere.

A good way to resolve these apparent contradictions was to put them in simple terms and introduce them into the broad process of discussion 🇪🇺

[Jean @[email protected] 🇪🇺 @MonnetTips]

Eine gute Möglichkeit, scheinbare Widersprüche aufzulösen, war, sie in einfache Begriffe zu fassen und in den breiten Diskussionsprozess einzuführen 🇪🇺

Il y avait un bon moyen de résoudre ces problèmes de contradictions apparentes, c’était de les poser en termes simples et de les introduire dans le vaste processus de discussions 🇪🇺
