World would collapse without EU, Mogherini says
The world would simply collapse without the European Union, Federica Mogherini, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, said in her speech delivered at Tampere University in Finland.
“Think of it for a moment. Close your eyes and imagine for one moment the European Union disappeared from the global scene right now. Let us say for a month, or a week, even for a few days. The world would simply collapse,” she said.
According to her, the world is not in good shape, true, but without the European Union it would be in a much worse situation.
Earlier on Tuesday, the top EU diplomat called the EU a world cultural superpower at the opening ceremony of the 2018 Frankfurt Book Fair.
