When the political circumstances
had asked for it, the European Union (EU) - through its Brussels voice – reminded
that the EU is a ‘Christian club’. But most of the times neither the EU nor
Brussels make a big fuss out of being a ‘Christian club’. They must have their
reasons. And I have the democratic right to be reserved on all political
matters.
Theoretically speaking and at a quick look the
EU hosts most of the Anglicans, many Catholics, Protestants, Neo-Protestants,
Orthodox, and God knows what other Christian religions. They might outnumber
other religions and the atheists, but this is not the point of this blog
article. The point is to stick to the ‘Christian club’ idea in the context of
the upcoming Easter and to approach it in the cheer up spirit of this blog.
On March 21st, 2019
took place in Brussels the EU Summit on Art. 50. Following this summit, BREXIT’s
deadline was postponed from March 29th to October 31st. And
new questions started circulating in the British public space: Where will the
politicians start from, in order to deliver BREXIT? To be or not to be a
BREXEWEEN, on October 31st? What do Leavers and Remainers expect to
happen in this time period until the new BREXIT deadline?
I
first expect… Easter! Europe has different Easter traditions. Would a Brussels
Easter tradition start in these six months until BREXIT? As it sometimes claims
to be a ‘Christian club’ the Great Thursday would be the best moment to start such a
tradition: On the Great Thursday a European Summit to reunite Heads of State
and Governments would take place in Brussels. The public will have to bear seeing
again Merkel, Macron and so on and so forth, and Theresa May until the UK will
leave the EU. But in comparison to the other summits, there will be no tables
in front of them, but some European bureaucrats coming to each of them, in
order to wash their feet. That would be in the practical Christian spirit! In
this new context, new Easter political questions may be raised: Do the archives
of the Vatican have an old document proving that Jesus Christ also kissed
the feet of the apostles? Gosh! Public opinions polls might be paid by an
institute or another asking questions such as: ‘Do you think that Jesus kissed
the feet of the apostles?’ Or, ‘Do you think that the Vatican has such a
document in its archives?’ And what decision to take if the Vatican does not
have such a document, but … surprise! an overwhelming majority of … 100% of
those interviewed actually believe that Jesus Christ kissed the feet of the
apostles? Would the European bureaucrats do the same during the Brussels Easter
Summit?
Until a new tradition will begin
in Brussels and the European Heads of State and Government will gather for the
Brussels Easter Summit, an even greater question will remain unanswered: What
European Head of State and Government is more ticklish at its feet? Shall it be
Theresa May?! Maybe it is Merkel?! Or maybe Macron?! Or… who knows?!
I
hope this blog article cheered you all up, my readers! HAPPY EASTER!!!
