EUROPEAN POLITICAL LIFE OR IS EUROPE READY TO HAVE A POLITICAL ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE COMMISSION?

Summary/Abstract: The confidence in the European institutions is decreasing constantly. The erosion is due mostly to the lack of information regarding the working mechanisms of the European Union but also to the lack of explicit control of the European administration by the European citizens. Basically, Europeans vote every five years for the European elections but very few actually understand the effects of their vote and are capable to evaluate the results of the former political administration. The current situation pushed the European political families to demand more powers for the European Parliament and an increasing politicization of the European debate in order to implicate more the European Citizens. My article is going to elaborate on the need of a stronger European Political Life by also evaluating the degree in which Romanians, as European citizens, are prepared to have a political elected president of the Commission. The results of my study are based on a survey realized on 500 Romanian students.
