French left-winger Hubert Védrine has warned the EU risks sparking an uprising across the continent unless Brussels bureaucrats rein in their rule.
Mr Védrine, an advisor in the last years of French Socialist French Socialist François Mitterrand, had a front-row seat when Germany reunited in 1990, when the USSR collapsed in 1991, and when the euro became Europe’s common currency in 1999.
When negotiations were taking place over the Schengen agreement in 1985, and the launch of the European monetary union in 1990 – Védrine was around the table.
But he is becoming fiercely critical of moves being made by EU nations.
In a series of recent speeches and interviews Védrine, now 68, has told leaders they must deal with the growing rejection of Europe by voters across the continent.
Védrine told Politico: “If you want people to massively reject Europe, just keep on.
“In most countries today you have 15 to 20 percent of voters who reject Europe altogether, and another 15 to 20 percent that remain die-hard Europhiles.
“That leaves at least 60 percent in the middle who are what I’d call euro-allergic.”
“Yet you see governments and parties all over jumping up and down asking for ‘more Europe, more Europe!’”
