Sweden with climate as a major priority as always- xD

Affordable housing! Let’s fix our citizens problems and prevent the drift towards populisms. Look inwards, provide for your eu citizens and see a surge in pro europeism. I have seen many campaigns by the EU on many topics, yet not one of them tackles affordable housing when is a problem affecting most EU27 if not all to different degrees.

Enlargement being last is wild, it’s objectively the one thing guaranteed that would make the EU stronger.

we are becoming technologically irrelevant and our demography is in shambles but yeah lets focus on agriculture, the economy (its been shit for the last 20yrs regardless of what we did) and climate (during a war with altready very stringent eco laws)

Love the truth: nobody but Swedish care about f..king climate hipster hoax. 👍
The real urgent problems of the Union are indeed: the war near us, economy and energy.

oh, respondents and their priority. I was quite disoriented, might be my fault.

At least the top four is pretty much spot on, but they should be followed by trade and technology.

demography being so low is crazy. it should be in the interest of all political parties to fix demography, especially here in germany.
and most of the measures are a win win situation for all citizens.

It’s troublesome that most countries worry little about education. That’s key in fighting all the disinformation attacks that we constantly suffer from the enemies of the European Union. Also, to have some kind of tech edge we need to have strong education.

This just tells me Sweden is, as suspected, a climate champion. Latvians don’t believe in climate change. The Portuguese think all these new-fangled fancy electrical things are just too much and Lithuania desperately wants the EU to pop some Viagra.

Technology for sure, but they must invest BETTER. Not just throw money around.

What specifically are “EU values?

It maybe just culture.
We are already good in science, technology but operate more like researchers, with lengthy delays in adopting to change, new innovation, taking risks and practical deployment.
Both research and real world execution have to be great in their own ways. It cannot be one without the other. Science vs Engineering.
This also applies to defense. We can build the best planes and arms, but can we scale them quickly to deliver to the real world. Build fast, Manufacture, fix problems, handle change, try new things and make updates rapidly and deploy them.

Spain is right about education, even though it would only pay off in 10-15 years. It’s the foundation of success.

Define “strengthen its position” first. Because… what is power, exactly?
My definition would be: the freedom to do what you want. Maybe that definition isn’t the best, I’ll see what people tell me.
So: what limits our freedom to do what we want? I would say, our dependencies to other nations. I can name a few.
– Energy: more than half of the energy consumed in the EU is imported from outside the EU.
– Security: weapons, military intel, encryption systems, data storage…
There’s a lot more than those, but you get the point. If we have to rely on the good will of certain nations outside the EU to live how we want to live, then with my definition, our power is very limited. So we’d have to work on reducing these dependencies. Obviously, net zero dependence isn’t possible (we all live on the same planet). But the more we reduce them, the more power we will have.

Europe should focus on cultivating a society that cherishes mutual understanding, critical thinking, and education.

Our technology in IT is severely lacking. We are solely dependent on American products to run our business infrastructure. They can cut us off anytime if they want.

Estonia only having 35% on defense and 20% for example on agriculture is a bit ehm, interesting for a small country that is right next to Russia.

Portugal can not in to Eastern Europe.
