Commentary argues EU citizens no longer back 'more Europe' as an abstract idea. Instead, they support a union that can protect, invest, anticipate, decide and act in areas where national policymaking falls short. The piece frames this as a shift in how European integration should be justified: by concrete results rather than ideology, responding to citizens' practical demands for security, investment and effective decision-making at EU level.

Why now: Ongoing debate over the EU's direction and legitimacy, with commentators arguing integration must deliver tangible protection and capability to retain public support.
