On July 15, European leaders met in Brussels and confirmed Jean-Claude Juncker as the European Commission’s new President, despite the strong opposition led by David Cameron. Other EU top jobs are yet to be filled while the new European Parliament – the most eurosceptic in EU history – has come to life. The backdrop of this new legislature is tragic: the Ukraine crisis took a decisive turn after the shooting down of flight MH17 by pro-Russian separatists in Eastern Ukraine, failed revolutions in the Middle-East and a bloody revival of Israel-Palestine hatred. All around Europe, a ring of fire, blood and destruction is gaining strength, a product of political disintegration through intolerance, populism and extremism – all of which made a break-through in recent European elections.
