Words like “European sovereignty” or “strategic autonomy” are no longer taboo in Brussels, which gives hope for a profound change in the Union's priorities.
Europe of health is being born on the fringes of the coronavirus, admittedly modestly.
But, the pandemic has also reinforced inequalities, the most fragile and precarious populations have become further impoverished and have become even more vulnerable to the recession.
