Cemil Kerimoglu 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @cemk_cemil · Apr 15 https://substack.com/home/post/p-194290585 Europe finds itself at a fateful juncture, yet its own decision-making machinery lets a single malicious actor paralyze the whole. In aiming to protect the smaller nations, the unanimity principle was essentially catering to petty nationalism. Eventually, it has become the liberum veto of our time - the same institution that once destroyed the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and wiped it off the map. Even the very thought itself that small European nations need "protection" against larger ones is flawed and deeply malicious. This new essay argues that abolishing the veto is thus not merely a procedural tweak. It is a philosophical act: the moment Europeans finally choose to see themselves as Europeans, and Europe as more than the sum of its parts. Abolish the veto!
