How do the executive authorities of the EU manage to avoid accountability, even in cases of blatant irregularities? How are institutions restructured to be inherently unaccountable? How do organized interests maneuver within this dystopian landscape and how do they relate to the power holders, advancing their agenda?

How European is the European Stability Mechanism? Was the EU-Turkey agreement truly an agreement of the European states? Did Greece really face the risk of exiting Schengen at the height of the refugee crisis?

The Europe of "democratic values" is rapidly shrinking, leaving more and more room for the acceptance of a debased power that does not even recognize the finite limits of European bourgeois democracy. The multiple crises facing European societies and the European community today accelerate this deconstruction.

This research aims to prove that what we see and hear around us today is no longer sufficient on its own to interpret our reality. The demand for greater accountability is necessary to prevent yet another journey of European history to the... "edge of the night".
