Of union and trust

The motivation behind this short commentary is an editorial piece published in the Guardian few weeks ago (Never Closer Union, 29 September 2011, p. 36 of print edition). The main argument of the Guardian editor was that the financial crisis of the Eurozone has been transformed into a bigger political crisis of the European Union. Diminishing obstructionism and having a clearer federal vision may be able to save the European Union from a deeper existential crisis.
