Schultz says 'very worried' about 'desolidarization' in EU

European Parliament (EP) President Martin Schultz warned on Saturday that the European Union (EU) was facing the loss of trust of local citizens about that the transnational institutions were still able to deliver solutions to crisis.

The EP head joined the so-called "Presidential Debate" at the Munich Security Conference together with the leaders of Poland, Lithuania, Finland and Ukraine, and pointed out "the loss of trust of citizens is a crisis in itself in addition to the crisis we have already."

He said the "desolidarization" in EU had been seen during the last 20 years which was now arriving at the governmental level among EU member states, "therefore I am very worried."

Schultz called for solidarity of EU nations by saying that "the EU is as strong as the Member States choose it to be."
