The article discusses the need for a 'European Social Union' due to changes in the EU. It challenges the idea that progress for some means decline for others. The main focus is on the social dimension needed for Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the balance between sovereignty and solidarity. It also looks at the principles of free movement and non-discrimination, aiming for 'fair mobility'. The article reflects on the legacy of the Juncker Commission in shaping this concept.
