Europe Day Act
-
I quite like the date that Councillor Greene has picked. That is a date much more relevant and meaningful to our Union.
Edward Firoux
Council Speaker and Councillor for Inquista -
I would like to thank every councillor that has shown support to this proposal, and I would like to make some rebbutals to some councillors that added some statements that I would like to answer.
Councillor Shakur, it would be a great idea that the Europe Day would be a holiday in every country. People could attend to diverse celebrations around your country if people celebrates this day, and even they could make a travel to Europolis where we would have different events related with this very special day. Bringing back the European Union together is not just celebrating Europe day, is getting as much people as possible united in the celebrations so we can show to our allied regions that we are united despite the events that we are going through.
Councillor van Allen, as I said, just getting an Europe Day won't unite us, but the celebrations will. I think that the first ever European Assembly meeting has united the European Union a bit more than before it, and the celebrations that we would host at the European Capital, Europolis, would make us be even more united as many people from all around Europe could come and celebrate with us.
And finally, Councillor Greene, that date you have proposed is a better idea than mine, and I want to say I support your amendment and I would like to thank you for this really good proposal, as it would celebrate a much more relevant date.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Commissioner for Internal Affairs -
Mr. Juncker I oppose that it would just be celebrated in Europolis. I think that it should be celebrated everywhere in the EU. Everyone shall have the right to celebrate the founding of this institution that had brought us closer together.
Friedrich van Allen
Councilor, Kingdom of Reitzmag -
I think you have misunderstood me. The main celebrations are being hosted in Europolis, but anyone can celebrate the Europe day everywhere, we are not forbiding anyone to celebrate Europe Day whenever they want to. I'm just saying that Commission would celebrate it in Europolis and will invite everyone to attend.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Commissioner for Internal Affairs -
