This issue is the 6th one for 2024 and the 28th since the beginning of the war in Ukraine..
The European Parliament elections will take place from the 6th to the 9th of June 2024. The results will be a test. The most virulent Eurosceptics, supporters of Russia, should massively enter the parliament ; the defenders of Europe and democracy, defending Ukraine, are preparing for an existential struggle. In a first point, we will evoke the ambiguous emotions aroused by the elections in Europe and in the world: between joy and sadness. In a second point, we will mention the bad joy of the pro-Russian clan in case of victory of its supporters supported by offshore money and mafia practices. In a third point, we will analyze the mixed joy of anguish in the pro-Ukrainian clan where the fight against corruption is a major issue. In conclusion, we will recall the formidable utopia that constituted the European construction after the Second World War. In 2024, we fervently hope that the Ode to joy can resonate with lightness and relief throughout Europe and in the European Parliament. Uncertain times are opening for Europeans and democracy in the world to fight the bad joy (Schlechte Freude ) of autocrats.
