Europe after the War Financial Cooperation for Pan-European,

It is in the middle of the war that the determination to build peace and design the future can be found, the direction to take and long-term targets can be seen, and the commitment to action can be strengthened; now, as was the case in the Second World War. [...] Achieving the accession of Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia to the European Union, building peace and security across the whole of Europe, establishing a long-term friendship with Africa, and strengthening economic governance and democratic accountability: this is the gist of the book, and the essential message of the manifesto. [...] Europe is where we have the peak of the crisis (Ukraine) and the bulk of its most dire consequences, but also the best perception of the urgency to act and opportunity to widen and deepen the scope for peace security and development. [...] The shock gave evidence to the limited capacity of those economies and societies to respond to crises of such magnitude: the constraints in countercyclical fiscal expansions, the fragmentation and under-capitalisation of the corporate sector, and the limited resilience of household consumption and indebtedness capacity. [...] The outcome was, predictably, the widening of the gap between Eastern Europe and the EU, increasing poverty, social polarisation and a creeping resentment against the élite (local, regional and European) and the concept of Europe itself.
