Could it be said that the EU’s current way of working is an indicator that it is in mortal danger? The main source of “mortal danger “ is currently the coronavirus…  Yes, of course. but that is the image actually used by the former President of the European Commission… Yes, I know.
Clearly, the duty of solidarity must be complied with, and this solidarity needs to take the shape of concrete action. For example, when I see Germany offering hospital beds and taking on patients from the Grand-Est region of France, it may not be, for some observers, the great gesture of financial solidarity that is expected, but it shows solidarity nevertheless.
