Germany, regardless of the party in power, pursues a path toward unifying the EU into a single constitutional organism. This agenda was publicly highlighted in the European Parliament by the German chancellor, prompting Beata Szydło, a former Polish prime minister and a current member of the European Parliament, to draw attention to one of Campus Polska Przyszłości’s partners: the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. The foundation is funded by German authorities and features prominently in discussions about the event and its sponsors.
“United States of Europe”
The third edition of Campus Polska Przyszłości has begun, initiated by the mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski. Several discussion panels are conducted in English, including the session examining the federalization of the European Union. The Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, funded by German authorities, is a partner for this panel.
An excerpt from the Campus Polska program shows the panel titled United States of Europe. Federalization of the European Union will be addressed in English during this session.
Beata Szydło has underscored this point in her remarks.
The Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, supported by German authorities, is identified as a partner of Campus Polska, alongside several other international organizations. The program confirms that the foundation sponsors today’s panel on the United States of Europe and the federalization theme.
Germany, regardless of leadership, aims to federalize the EU and turn it into a single-state structure. This objective was presented in the European Parliament and has since been cited in discussions around the campus event.
The head of the European Commission has also expressed positive views on integration, while the EC’s consultations with Europeans were framed as support for greater unity that could lead to a federal Europe.
“Poland and other EU countries will be reduced to the role of ‘Länder’.”
The European Parliament member from Law and Justice pointed out that the project to federalize Europe has moved beyond theory. This is a plan already taking shape, with some of the execution attributed to German leadership and influence.
Observers note that the timing of political campaigns brings certain displays of national symbolism. Within Campus Polska, it is suggested that some figures connected with Poland’s ruling circles could be signaling future moves toward a federal system shaped by Germany, potentially recasting Poland and other EU states to the status of constituent Länder.
The discussion culminates in a warning about the potential implications for national sovereignty and regional governance across Europe.
