Special Edition: The end of Europe? Inflation, energy crisis, border war… Back to the conference of Menton March 18, 2023 (french)

Activities / By

Dans le cadre du 10ème anniversaire de la mort de Franck, en partenariat avec la Mairie de Menton, le Laboratoire Européen d’Anticipation politique (LEAP2040) et la Fondation Jean Monnet pour l’Europe, l’AAFB organisait samedi 18 mars 2023 une conférence-débat “La fin de l’Europe ? Inflation, crise énergétique, guerre aux frontières… ce que Franck Biancheri le Mentonnais (1961-2012) en dirait aujourd’hui”.

 

L’association des Amis de Franck Biancheri, remercie très chaleureusement ses partenaires, la Ville de Menton et son représentant Monsieur Novelli, ainsi que la bibliothèque municipale de Menton, Madame Pinatel et ses collaborateurs, le Laboratoire Européen d’Anticipation Politique, LEAP2040 et Madame Caillol sa présidente, la Fondation Jean Monnet pour l’Europe et Monsieur Grin son directeur.

 

 

Venus de tous coins de l’Europe, nous remercions particulièrement nos intervenants qui ont rendu ces débats contradictoires possibles, les amis et compagnons de route de Franck Biancheri pour leur fidèle soutien. Vous trouverez ici le document complet de ces interventions: AAFB – La fin de l’Europe – présentations, également publiées sur ce site:

 

 

Les débats ont été enregistrés en direct: vous pouvez retrouver la vidéo ici: La fin de l’Europe ? Inflation, crise énergétique, guerre aux frontières…



 

 

 

La fin de l’Europe ? Inflation, crise énergétique, guerre aux frontières… ce que Franck Biancheri le Mentonnais (1961-2012) en dirait aujourd’hui

 

L’Union Européenne, projet de paix et de prospérité, fait inévitablement face à un questionnement existentiel dans un contexte de remontée des frontières, de crise majeure des infrastructures (énergétiques et autres), d’inflation et de conflit à ses frontières. Faut-il anticiper la fin de l’Europe ? Si oui, quelle Europe est en train de disparaître ? Et qu’émerge-t-il à la place ?

 

Il y a 30 ans, un Mentonnais, Franck Biancheri, prédisait à l’UE un avenir sombre si elle échouait à se démocratiser en inventant les mécanismes pour se connecter à l’intérêt commun de ses citoyens. Disparu il y 10 ans exactement, que dirait-il en 2023 de cette Europe en laquelle il a cru ?

 

Puisqu’il n’est malheureusement pas là pour nous le dire, l’Association réunissant ses amis et compagnons de route (AAFB), en partenariat avec la Ville de Menton, ont voulu convoquer un panel d’Européens. Partageant une histoire d’engagement commun à ses côtés, mais suivant depuis 10 ans des chemins distincts, des Européens engagés, issus de différents horizons professionnels, répondront depuis leurs divers angles de vue à cette question : « Est-ce la fin de l’Europe ? ».
Cette diversité de points de vue fournira le cadre propice à un débat ouvert et tolérant avec le public de participants.

 

Conférence-débat pour un public de Mentonnais, élus mentonnais, étudiants de Sciences Po Menton, réseau AAFB, représentants d’ autres organisations/institutions non locales partenaires (soit 100 à 200 personnes). Suivie d’un cocktail.

En mémoire à Franck Biancheri (1961-2012), et à son père Alain décédé en novembre 2022 à Menton, un grand merci à sa famille.

 

 

 

Il faut construire la Communauté européenne, sinon l’Europe sera bientôt culturellement américanisée, politiquement finlandisée et technologiquement japonisée (Franck Biancheri, EGEE I, 1984)
