Europe Day: A Critical Look at the EU's Priorities

Europe Day Reflections: Manu Levin Remembers Julio Anguita and Questions the EU's Direction. On Europe Day, political commentator Manu Levin offered a critical reflection on the state of the European Union, invoking the legacy of Julio Anguita. In a short video segment from La Base en Canal Red, Levin questioned whether the EU's current trajectory aligns with true European values. He highlighted concerns about austerity measures and the channeling of public funds towards military spending, stating, "If being European means accepting austerity without resistance, and if our public money goes to the war industry, then perhaps I prefer not to be European." Levin's comments resonate with Anguita's past criticisms of the EU, suggesting a continuing debate about the Union's identity and priorities. The video serves as a reminder of ongoing discussions about the EU's future and its role in the world.
