The EU needs Europe-wide festivities on Europe Day
To tackle Euroscepticism, the EU and its 28 member countries should stimulate the celebration of peace in Europe now for 73 years (!) by asking our youth to organize annual peace parades in all EU capitals for all EU citizens on “Europe Day” (9th May), and wave the EU flag everywhere as the symbol of our “unity in diversity”.
