G20 / EU: Europe has no monopoly on democracy

Everyone has forgotten that the European executive prepared the budget which is currently being negotiated by European leaders. And there is a simple reason for this: Commission President José Manuel Barroso has become invisible. Libération’s Brussels correspondent deplores what he describes as a political “suicide”. 
EU leaders and governments are busy designing the future of the EU. But these fantasies of the More Europe variety forget just one thing: the real-life eurozone crisis, writes The Economist’s Charlemagne. 
Crisis is a good moment for an examination of conscience. If war broke out in Europe today, would anyone be willing to die for the ideas of Schuman or Monnet’s community method? 
In proposing a federation of nation states, the President of the European Commission has outlined an ambitious course of development for the EU. For the European press, however, such an initiative inevitably raises questions about the role of Brussels and the role of member states. 
Why do Europeans know more about Obama and Romney than Barroso and Van Rompuy? Because they cannot elect the leaders of the EU, writes Swedish journalist Martin Ǻdahl. The best way to address this European "democratic deficit" would be to put the candidate to the electoral test. 
During the G20 summit in Los Cabos, an indignant Jose Manuel Barroso declared that Europe had not come to Mexico get any tutoring in democracy from emerging states. The European Union, however, not only suffers from a democratic deficit, but lacks legitimacy in the eurocrisis. A look outside the box cannot hurt here, writes a Belgian editor.
