#39;new normality&
#39; and &
#39;post-COVID-EU&
#39;. But, in many cases, rather than new elements, isn’t
#COVID19 accelerating, deepening, or attracting more attention to problems and trends we already knew about?" states

@elinebreda explains that the
@catalangov adopted its
#EuropePlan as a result of an ambitious participatory process "which allowed us to gather the views of Catalan civil society and public administration, and translate them into 119 proposals and a shared vision for the EU"

@elinebreda highlights that "many of the potential solutions we identified through the consultations to build the
#EuropePlan are still fully applicable to the current context, because many of those challenges were already there, before
#COVID19 hit us"

@elinebreda states: "Conversations on Corona-bonds “have reopened -rather than create- the divide between wealthiest Member States and their partners”.
“We shouldn&
#39;t ignore we are all bound together by the single market, trade flows, and the shifts in the global supply chain”
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đź”´" title="Red circle" aria-label="Emoji: Red circle"> "Our economic model is both environmentally unsustainable as well as unjustifiably blind to the needs of people", points out
@elinebredaIn this sense,
@catalangov #EuropePlan proposes to implement a universal European health coverage system and a guaranteed minimum income

"We were already painfully aware -before
#COVID19- that Member States no longer shared the same set of values upon which the EU was built", says

@elinebreda: "the situation requires a new sense of direction for European society, as well as the political will to take concrete steps"
"The
@catalangov believes three notions must be our compass moving forward: sustainability, democracy and further European integration"
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔴" title="Red circle" aria-label="Emoji: Red circle"> "In times of fake news, we cannot afford fake policies, nor tokenistic consultations, as this will only deepen citizens’ disaffection and distrust", says
@elinebreda"The Conference on the Future of Europe is a perfect opportunity to build a new relationship with citizens"
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đź”´" title="Red circle" aria-label="Emoji: Red circle">
@elinebreda: "Positive change must not be taken for granted, and the EU has become too good at weathering crises rather than addressing them"
"We can’t move forward with a few cosmetic changes now. It is our responsibility to actively engage in shaping the post-COVID world"
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔴" title="Red circle" aria-label="Emoji: Red circle"> "Catalonia is committed to an European approach based on solidarity, co-responsibility and subsidiarity. The measures taken to tackle today’s crisis shall set a solid basis for a better Europe tomorrow" concludes
