On Thursday, December 13th, European Union (EU) leaders gathered in Brussels to discuss the future of Europe. The meeting was held in the wake of the UK’s decision to leave the EU and the rise of populism and nationalism across the continent.
The meeting was attended by the heads of state of all 28 EU member countries, as well as the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk. The meeting was chaired by the President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker.
The leaders discussed the current state of the European Union and the need for reform. They discussed ways to strengthen the EU and make it more resilient in the face of Brexit and other challenges. They also discussed the need to address the rise of populism and nationalism, as well as the need for greater economic and social cohesion across the continent.
The leaders also discussed the need for greater investment in the EU’s infrastructure and the need to address the migration crisis. They also discussed the need to strengthen the EU’s security and defense policies.
At the end of the meeting, the leaders issued a joint statement in which they reaffirmed their commitment to the European Union and their determination to work together to ensure its continued success.
The meeting was seen as a positive step in the ongoing process of reforming the European Union. However, it is clear that there is still much work to be done in order to ensure that Europe remains a strong, unified and prosperous continent.
