More quotes by Jean-Claude Juncker
We can't completely rely on the aberrations of history to explain today's European necessities. Future-related issues are no less pressing.
Jean-Claude Juncker
In Europe, even more so than in national politics, we have to follow the principle laid down by Martin Luther: Use language that the people will understand, but don't just tell them what they want to hear.
Jean-Claude Juncker
There is a proposal to divide the currency zone into a north and a south euro. There is also the idea of setting up a core monetary union in the middle of Europe. I disapprove of these debates. Instead, we should devote all of our efforts to supplementing the monetary union with a political union.
Jean-Claude Juncker
I don't think in national categories. For me it [policy] is about concepts and substance.
Jean-Claude Juncker
I like Macron a lot and I very much welcome him - particularly the fact that he made Europe one of the main topics of the election debate.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Germany will continue to play a central - perhaps even a more important - role in the European Union. I think that we will all miss the pragmatic approach of the British, however, particularly in those long nights of negotiation.
Jean-Claude Juncker
One shouldn't pursue the wrong policies just because one is afraid of not being reelected. Those who intend to govern have to take responsibility for their countries and for Europe as a whole. This means, if need be, that they have to pursue the right policies, even if many voters think they are the wrong ones.
Jean-Claude Juncker
From the very beginning Europe has been not only a success story but also a story of success achieved by learning.
Jean-Claude Juncker
When the going gets tough, you have to lie.
Jean-Claude Juncker
I am, however, deeply saddened by this [Brexit] vote by the British electorate. But I respect their decision. What is crucial now is that we focus very precisely on what Europe can do for people: stimulate investment, create jobs and together ensure the safety and security of our citizens.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Anyone who believes that the eternal question of war and peace in Europe is no longer there risks being deeply mistaken.
Jean-Claude Juncker
The way some German politicians have lashed out at Greece when the country fell into the crisis has left deep wounds there. I was just as shocked by the banners of protesters in Athens that showed the German chancellor in a Nazi uniform.
Jean-Claude Juncker
But anyone who believes that the eternal issue of war and peace in Europe has been permanently laid to rest could be making a monumental error. The demons haven't been banished they are merely sleeping, as the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo have shown us.
Jean-Claude Juncker
In the highest government office, you have to be ready to bow out at any time, otherwise you are not a free individual anymore.
Jean-Claude Juncker
For my generation, the monetary union has always been about forging peace.
Jean-Claude Juncker
We must also take this opportunity to learn from the situation [of Brexit], just as we learned from the refugee and debt crises.
Jean-Claude Juncker
In politics, there are different categories of friendship. My friendship with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, for example .
Jean-Claude Juncker
The European Union has decades of experience in overcoming crises and has always emerged stronger after.
Jean-Claude Juncker
It's important to recognize that we in Europe will either succeed together or fail together.
Jean-Claude Juncker
I'm convinced that, in the long term, a monetary union includes a joint debt policy under strict, mutually agreed upon conditions.
Jean-Claude Juncker
