Note:Pan-European identity has since become a separate article.
The following comments appear to support the proposed merge --Boson21:41, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree as this is the same.
I agree, can be un-merged later should article grow prodigiously (which seems unlikely at this stage)Boldymumbles11:24, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As part of the drive to clear the merge backup, I have merged Europeanist into Europeanism.I assume this is uncontroversial. I think it could still do with some re-structuring.OTOH it might be appropriate to merge the whole lot with one of the other Europe articles, but that would probably be more controversial.Since neither of the merged articles had any references, I have added the appropriate template. In view of the statements about people's views, I think the article would need numerous citations. I have also copied the EU project template from Europeanist. I hope that meets with approval.--Boson21:41, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This is either a dictef (merge intoEuropean identity) or an underdeveloped article on the 2010 book (merge intoJohn McCormick (political scientist)).It clearly cannot stand on its own as it currenlty is. --dab(𒁳)12:39, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've cut this as straying off-topic, but have added a mention of the European migrant crisis in the relevant place earlier.Ben Finn (talk)13:25, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In the context of theEuropean migrant crisis of 2015, the European Commission wants to distribute part of the immigrants in EU member states, but the Visegrad Four countries in Central Europe (The Czech Republic,Hungary,Poland andSlovakia) oppose the quotas and the mass inflow of immigrants from the Middle East and Africa as such.
Some Western European politicians have called for sanctions against the eastern members, saying that they are betraying the European values of solidarity, while the easterners say that they are defending the borders, the identity and the culture of Europe.Viktor Orbán, the Prime Minister of Hungary which has built a double border fence to keep out immigrants, has said this about the immigration wave: “We may lose our European values, our very identity, by degrees like the live frog allowing itself to be slowly cooked to death in a pan of water.” Luxembourg Foreign MinisterJean Asselborn told the German paperDie Welt that countries like Hungary which violate EU values “should be excluded temporarily, or if necessary for ever, from the EU.”[1]
Most "European values" as defined in this article are off-shoots of Post-WW2 neoliberalism and have nothing to do with 99% of European history. The idea that Europeans should be minorities in their native capital cities (like London) and partially ruled by foreigners in the name of multiculturalism would be laughable just 30 years ago. These are not "universal values" either as we do not see any of this occuring outside the Western World. In fact even the non post-1945 values here are offshoots of the ideologies of 18th century proggesive revolutionaries in Anglo-America and France. They have nothing to do with 99% of European history and the thousands of years which proceeded the existence of "Liberal Democracy". The article must be frank and say the EU started out as a pure monetary union and then incrementally morphed into a highly ideological multilateral structure which claims to represent the "values of Europeans" but in reality represents the values of select EU member states (the largest nations in Europe are not even in EU like Ukraine or Russia and members like Hungary openly dispute these values).— Precedingunsigned comment added by2603:8000:9B02:A846:F11A:F9EC:D618:E6A4 (talk)20:24, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
