In Paris there was a terroristic attack never seen before. Brussels was blocked for days, becoming a kind of ghost city. 
On the other side of Europe, in Turkey, the tensions inside the country are every day increasing. Few days ago a prominent pro-Kurdish, lawyer and human rights activist, Tahir Elci has been shot dead in the south-east of the country.

Over all, in the international arena, the contrasts between Turkey and Russia could weaken the efforts against Isis. An important effect on the main problem that is currently affecting the security of Europe.

But the question is: where is Europe itself?


It is in such a difficult situation that the most important economic and political subject in the area should have the leadership for facing the crisis. Instead, as usual, Europe speaks with different voices, bringing different national interests.

The absence of Europe in these days is impressive. It is so evident that we should have a European Intelligence, a European Security System, and overall a European Political view. 

Terrorism, economic crisis, international contrasts cannot be solved by one Country or by coalitions. We need a subject that can lead the crisis and not that just suffer the decision of economic lobbies and external political powers. 

The political question of the European integration has been postponed for too long time. It is the moment to take an action in this sense.
