The magician with a pronounced pan-European identity, after entering his 8th decade, stated that, unfortunately, he is no longer one of the seventies. In an interview with the British “Guardian” Eco once again joked about his age, but the main thing he decided to talk about was the crisis in Europe.
According to him, the financial and economic crisis is the result of the universal crisis of identity and culture. He defines the European identity as widespread, but unfortunately, insufficiently defined, insufficiently strong and fleeting, notes the Macedonian electronic publication “Plagius”.
He is adamant that consumerism and brutal, vulgar capitalism must give way to the integrity spirit of European culture in order to build a strong and clear European identity.
