&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;But the worst is yet to come - experience should tell us that the worst is still to come, that it&#039;s still possible, and that we&#039;re probably doomed, like &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;Walter Benjamin&#039;s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;Angelus Novus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;, to contemplate the history and the chain of its events as &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;one and only catastrophe, which constantly piles ruins on ruins&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt; &quot; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.lemonde.fr/europe/article/2018/07/05/migration-pour-l-autriche-l-ue-a-perdu-le-controle-de-la-situation_5326042_3214.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;A very recent article from Le Monde.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;Yesterday morning revealed the content of the plan of the Presidency of the Council of the EU to manage migration. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;It stated in particular that the situation revealed the inability of the European elites to stem the flow, a questionable assertion, at least as much as the figures provided, false or distorted, or the description of the profiles of migrant people. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;A disturbing document, which would have quite angry the European experts present at the meeting where it was presented, the latter exasperated, among other things, that most of the Austrian proposals were illegal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;But what more could one expect from a country that deployed Black Hawk helicopters a few days ago - helicopter maneuvers, more than assault, it is true - for a crisis management exercise on a border that, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-actu/2018/06/26/97001-20180626FILWWW00134-migrants-l-autriche-simule-une-gestion-de-crise-a-sa-frontiere.php&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;according to the local police&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;, does not accept more migrants?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;What can we expect from a far-right government at the head of the Council of the European Union? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;Ordinarily, one could expect what the far-right usually offers: venom, wind, bloated ego and few political results in the face of more liberal opposition. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;But we do not live ordinary times anymore. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;The so-called liberal opposition is in crisis: Merkel is more fragile than ever, Macron also takes the proposals of the extreme right on migration issues, May leaves, Spain is in a period of transition ... And the the extreme right will find support: it already governs in Poland, Hungary, Italy ... As much to say that there is this time reasons to fear the six months to come - the presidency of the council changes every 6 months, the Romanian succeeding Kurz in December. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;According to Cyril Bret, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.atlantico.fr/decryptage/comment-autriche-pourrait-se-servir-presidence-conseil-ue-pour-structurer-coalition-pays-anti-immigration-cyrille-bret-3440205.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;interviewed by the Atlantico site&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;, &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;the Kurz Presidency will prioritize structuring a coalition of small countries hostile to migration policies considered imposed by France and Germany to the rest of the Union&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&quot;, dangerously reinforcing the position of the Visegrad group within the European Union. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;It is not on this point alone that Austria can be influential. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;Among European leaders in clean energy, the presidency will face the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.euractiv.fr/section/energie/news/austria-unveils-energy-environment-work-plan-at-eu-helm/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;question of reforms of the electricity market in Europe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;and therefore the thorny debate about fossil energy - especially coal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;Another thorny issue is the Turkish question: Austria has, even more firmly than the rest of Europe, declared its opposition to the Erdogan regime, for various reasons, including concern over the rights of the people. man is not necessarily in first place. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;Internationally, rumor has it that Austria has at one time been willing to host the long awaited meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;It is worth remembering, on this point, that Austria, like Italy, pleaded for a lifting of EU sanctions against Russia, a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eu-logos.org/?p=22868&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;subject that we mentioned earlier in the year&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;Finally, for a positive note, the close relationship between Austria and the Balkans could lead to developments in terms of European integration. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;How, however, can we hope to reach an agreement in such a short time, and with a relatively Eurosceptic government? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;Especially since Bulgaria shared this same relationship, without this leading to particular progress on the issue.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;Many clouds are piling up at European borders. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;It should, of course, be remembered that the Austrian presidency will certainly not be a turning point in European history. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;The role of the President is limited, and this is counterbalanced by the presence of two other countries (Estonia and Bulgaria, outgoing Chair). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;The risk is mainly contained in Kurz&#039;s use of the symbolic role of the president, responsible for leading states to political compromises, if he tries to ally himself with other European governments, or even extra-European, to produce a &quot;populist international&quot;, an &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lepoint.fr/europe/salvini-se-reve-en-leader-d-une-internationale-populiste-02-07-2018-2232280_2626.php&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;expression used by the Italian Minister of the Interior who would see himself at the head of it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;Austria and Italy have already promised, for their part, to form an anti-migration &quot;Axis&quot;, an expression with an unfortunate name, or worse, carefully chosen - difficult to say. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;It is therefore on the migratory plane that the Austrian presidency will certainly illustrate itself, a prediction that is hardly original, considering the importance of the question of recent months.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;This Austrian Presidency will not be a turning point, therefore, but it can act as a thermometer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;To what extent will the European Union be able to cope with populism? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;To what extent will they be able to adapt to the European institutions? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;If the latter do not necessarily seem to want the death of Europe - that is at least Juncker&#039;s opinion of Kurz - can not we fear that this is because they have understood that it is is comfortable enough with their presence, and that they can make some profit? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;It will be objected, and it is true, that the European Union can be fierce towards certain governments in full drift, like the Polish government. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;But if it can, it is also that this government is hardly fierce itself, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;as shown by its numerous setbacks on various major social reforms. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;The ability of the European Union to deal with far-right or populist governments is, in the end, relatively weak. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;It is only in Greece that it succeeds in inflicting a setback, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.lorientlejour.com/article/1123787/grece-moscovici-plaide-pour-un-tournant-social.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;from which she perceives today the terrible price&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;The European Union, moreover, is only politically strong when its main political and symbolic powers - Western Europe, in short - are united. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;As she emerged as a new &quot;European leader&quot; against Trump or Putin, Chancellor Angela Merkel is now threatened at home, and may turn away from European claims to avoid collapse. political edifice she built all these years. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;Emmanuel Macron, successor appointed for this role, is facing more and more internal challenges. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;It is more than urgent that the latter pull themselves together if they want to hope to save the Europe in which they believed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;Perhaps the danger facing the European Union is not its dislocation, but its corruption. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;If we want to save Europe - since this is what we are talking about today - we must identify the danger correctly, and it seems that it is less the gradual withdrawal of states, - the domino effect so much feared after the Brexit - as the corruption of its institutions, of its aims and means, by states such as Austria, or Italy, by giving way to blackmail to secession. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;The so-called populist movements in Europe and elsewhere have shown, generally, their ability not to overthrow institutions, but to use them as they please. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;The number of Eurosceptic MEPs in the European Parliament is an indication in this respect. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;This is the greatest danger posed by the Austrian Presidency to the Council of the European Union, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;the progressive acclimatization of the European Union with governments that it should not be able to tolerate, but which it tolerates anyway, because it can not do otherwise. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;That, the future alone can tell us. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;vertical-align: inherit;&quot;&gt;Meanwhile, the far right chairs the council of the European Union.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
