Part 1 - The (dire) state of the Union
From Ukraine to Syria, in a terror-stricken context, from refugees to economic imbalances, the accumulation of the internal and external crises, is laying bare the current limits of EU integration and intergovernmental solutions. Solidarity is receding and with it the spirit of European integration.

And foreign powers do not shy from fanning the flames of the internal crises, fostering further EU destabilisation.
