After Euroskeptic rise, EU leaders step into fray
BRUSSELS AP) — Euroskeptics celebrated across the continent on Monday, from Britain to France and beyond, over their unmatched success in the European Parliament election. Now they are keen to put up internal borders again, keep foreigners out of their labor markets, abolish the common euro currency and let their nations go it alone in a globalized world.
The 28 European Union leaders meeting in Tuesday's postelection summit have a different task: making sure the surge of anti-EU and anti-establishment parties that claimed almost 30 percent of the EU's 751-seat legislature doesn't dislodge the 64-year project of closer cooperation between European nations.
They will also need to look for a way to reconnect with an ever more disenchanted European electorate that stayed away from the polls in massive numbers — and cast plenty of protest votes when they did show up. . . .
First paragraph tells us all we need to know about today's 'objective' journalism. Obviously there is no reason why sovereign European nations would not be able to have their own treaties or alliances with their neighbors, or even welcome in foreign workers, particularly if they have a surplus of jobs and an excess of funds for social programs for the workers' families and to pay for increased crime rates, but all of these things will be THEIR decisions--not commands hurled down by an almost comically aloof and disconnected EU bureaucracy that has regularly ignored even its own European Parliament.
