President Klaus believes in culturally or ethnically homogenous societies as opposed to multiculturalism. Therefore a Parliament can only be legitimate at the level of a nation, which does not exist in Europe. As a consequence supranational institutions are not democratic.
“The European preoccupation with Europe is connected with the fact that Europeans were made to believe that the era of nation states is over and that, because of omnipresent externalities and because of artificially built belief in the importance and inevitability of continental-wide public goods, Europe must be unified and therefore organized, constructed, controlled and regulated from above, said Mr. Klaus in a recent visit to India.
