Europe’s main task is to restore the spirit of solidarity, of common purpose and common destiny, the President of the Party of European Socialists Sergei Stanishev said at the international conference Quo Vadis Europe: Globalism vs. Populism held in Bulgaria’s capital Sofia on Tuesday. The forum marks the 10th anniversary of Bulgaria’s membership in the EU. Sergei Stanishev pointed out that in times of uncertainty and anger, when many people feel forsaken in their own countries, the natural reaction of most people is to go back to their circle and their national state, which creates vast illusion. Stanishev pointed out that when national egoism prevails, everyone loses. In Sergey Stanishev’s view, no reforms and institutions would help, if the spirit of solidarity in the EU is not restored.
