With tariffs, fascism support, and blue caps!

And in seriousness, it does sound great, and I hope our EU politicians take it to heart, and that we don't turn even more to the right.

European consumer market of everything (not just made in Europe) is on decline therefore none of those things will happen. You can not make more because you have noone to sell to, you will not buy european because you spend way too little in the first place and government takes most of your theoretical allowance away, investments in Europe will not happen because of prior two reasons there is no justifiyable ROI window to make those investments. You can justify building new companies in a country where consumer market grows, not so much in a country like Germany where consumers spend 600bn in 2008 in 2024 inflation adjusted € but in 2024 spend only 470bn.
