Europe no longer believes in Europe

Europe’s current crisis can no longer be explained solely in economic or migratory terms. What began as a pragmatic decision to sustain economic productivity has evolved into a profound demographic, cultural, and spiritual transformation that threatens historical continuity. An aging, secularized, and fragmented continent appears to have lost confidence in itself. Declining birth rates, large-scale immigration from predominantly Muslim-majority societies, and the erosion of Europe’s Judeo-Christian identity are not isolated phenomena but symptoms of a deeper existential crisis.
