It is clear that European institutions are in an existential crisis, but the debate is only at intergovernmental level. This proves clearly that European citizens do not feel close to Brussels ... There are now two countries, first Hungary and now Poland, which explicitly reject the "European model and values", one to defend an autocratic model of governance, and the other Christian values, ignoring any declarations emanating from Brussels ... The refugee crisis has been the last blow to an institution which was already breathing with great effort.
