This is real propaganda from the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels!

[Never3rd]

I've seen better propaganda come out of North Korea.

Common states? They've fought each other ever since hey all excisted from yugoslavia, bosnia and kroatia to holand luxemburg germany belgium france to spain portugal italy an britain....Meaning...That if the european people allow this to happen their forefathers died for nothing! They defended their values, their cultures and their laws for nothing but a hole in the ground! This commercial is propaganda to the bone, death to those technocRATS!!

Have nothing against the Euro (quite the opposite), but doesn't seem to be a good time to celebrate.

[Meremockermoo]

What a load of bollocks, I have my doubts the Euro will survive much past February.

Euuuughh, this makes me feel ill.

[texfra29]

What a terrible idea.

And they don't even bother to translate the official video in other language but english (altough this propaganda is obviously paid by non-english speaking countries' citizens, too).

@clansman89 Education was much higher than in most EU States today. Nationalism came when the money went away. So same Story you will experience soon in your beloved EU. I am just guessing but the game is the same.

[clansman89]

@CCCCrajkoCCCC in yugoslavia you had mainly under-educated population + being nationalistic.

[CCCCrajkoCCCC]

@MrTitian You cant unite people which dont share the same language, blood, culture ect. Yugoslavia showed us this only 20 years ago. So EU will fail and its not the fault of the people of Europe.

[CCCCrajkoCCCC]

@MrTitian Are you joking with what you are saying.? Right Spanish could buy Mercedes, Audi and BMW with earning 1000,00 EUR/month, while on the other side in germany the real income was continously going down for the last 10 years. Instead of strengthening the local market where people only buy when they can actually afford a new car they just threw bananas to Spain, Portugal,Greece and so on. Euro had a short intense boost for german industrial companies but the german tax payer paid for it.

well of course it would be worser if they wouldn't made a video, so everyone could say "look you are not even celebrating the event, you knew it would not work out"
