Does Europe have a soul? Ryszard Legutko’s argues the EU was built as an artificial construction and then sold to Europeans as a democratic fairy tale.
Legutko is a heavyweight Polish philosopher and professor at the Jagiellonian University, and former MEP (2009–2024), bringing both philosophical bite and inside-the-EU experience to his critique of Brussels.
Speaking at the Battle for the Soul of Europe 2025, Legutko takes aim at the EU’s founding logic. He argues that “ever closer union” hard-wires permanent integration into the system, so those who oppose further centralisation are treated as illegitimate by design. In his account, the EU is therefore not a representative democracy in practice, but an “enlightened oligarchy”, with real power concentrated in institutions like the Commission and exercised in line with the strongest member states and political forces.
He also takes aim at the European Court of Justice for elevating itself above national constitutions, before closing with a practical Q&A on what comes next, coalition-building, and the case for stronger regional alliances.
