For months, French President Emmanuel Macron has been throwing around the idea of the European community. The only detail from the idea is that of the establishment of a community, centered on the EU countries and member states of the continent that contribute to the security, stability and development of Europe.
Apart from that, there is nothing related to the power of this body, decision-making, membership, way of organization and connections between states.
These and other unanswered questions have fueled criticism, comparing Macron's initiative to that of Eurovision.
A document discussed among EU ambassadors in June this year says that the community will be open to all countries that share common values for democracy, regardless of whether or not they are members of the EU, or the nature of relations with the bloc. , if they want to join, they don't want to and they don't plan, they have left or they are connected only through economic agreements'.
Macron proposed this community in May, with the idea that it will better protect European Union allied countries and those that want membership.
However, Macron's idea has been criticized as a maneuver to 'leave out' of the European Union countries that have had candidate status for years, are in talks and have sacrificed in the integration process.
Moreover, Macron does not provide any details in this proposal on how this community will provide greater security and guarantees for EU-friendly countries against threats from third actors, such as Russia, China, or even Turkey.
