"The European Union doesn't have enough union," Juncker told the European Parliament in Strasbourg, noting his own executive was limited in its response to problems by division among states that was the worst he had seen in three decades in EU politics. He also had veiled criticism of eastern European countries unwilling to take in refugees from North Africa and the Middle East. Juncker will travel there to urge national leaders to remember the big picture and stop their "bickering". Is this a union that has forgotten its past, has no vision for the future? "We propose today to equip every European city with wireless internet," Juncker said, revealing the kind of project he hopes can help build some love for the EU among ordinary voters.
