I'm French. It's in the interests of Europeans to work towards a closer union, really a federation, like the US. I hope that at some point the European Union will become one nation, and I don't care what language it speaks. It will be in a much stronger position to negotiate trade deals and oversee its defense on the global stage when it reaches that state.

It's not happening in my lifetime, but this is the vision of certain of its progressive politicians. Let's hope the ultra-right nationalists don't win.

Yes, it is selfish to wish for a regressive time just to visit certain places. Do I want to stroll through Venice and Florence without the hordes? Of course I do. The only time I have ever walked through an empty Louvre was during the Covid lockdown :-) Don't wish for those things again. We can find other ways to control traffic and visitors.

Language is a part of life one’s culture. It’s frightening how easily some people would erase a part of other’s identity. Throughout history, the discouragement (and sometimes outright banning) of using one’s native language has been used as a tool of oppression. As much as I fear the alt-right, I fear people like you…different sides of the same coin. [/quote]
