2019 marks the 9th elections of the European Parliament (May 23-26). The European Union is facing challenges from all directions and from within its own borders : Immigration, Brexit, Russia, uncertainties with its relations with the US, an economic crisis and a wave of populist sentiments. There was never more need for EU citizens to get mobilized and unite to collectively address these challenges and strengthen the European project the big majority of them still cherish and believe in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
