“With these illuminations in the continent’s cities, the European Parliament and national and local authorities are working together to send a unifying message to 440 million European citizens, highlighting the importance of these European elections for everyone’s future. The 9 May, Europe Day, is not only a day of commemoration, but also a day to reflect on our common future”, underlines the European Parliament.
May 9 marks the anniversary of the historic declaration made by Robert Schuman, in which he outlined the idea of a new form of political cooperation in Europe, which would make war between European nations unthinkable. This proposal is considered the birth certificate of what is today the European Union.
