00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:11,810
In this space, we are going to talk to you about the European Union, starting with its history, after the Second World War of Europe.

2
00:00:11,810 --> 00:00:18,809
The leaders of the great countries of Europe, Germany, France and Italy, together with the leaders of the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg,

3
00:00:18,809 --> 00:00:23,809
founded in 1951 the Economic Community of Coal and Steel.

4
00:00:23,809 --> 00:00:26,309
Prior to the European Union,

5
00:00:26,309 --> 00:00:28,809
it grew in the 20th and 21st centuries

6
00:00:28,809 --> 00:00:31,809
with the last incorporation of Proaxia in 2013

7
00:00:31,809 --> 00:00:34,310
and with the release of the Great Britain in 2020.

8
00:00:34,310 --> 00:00:36,810
This integration takes place through treaties

9
00:00:36,810 --> 00:00:39,810
between member countries and European institutions.

10
00:00:39,810 --> 00:00:44,310
These treaties consist of the creation of a European citizenship,

11
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:47,810
free circulation of people, goods, services and capital,

12
00:00:47,810 --> 00:00:49,310
and a common currency.

13
00:00:49,310 --> 00:00:56,109
Based on the values of freedom, human dignity, equality, democracy, defense of human rights and the rule of law,

14
00:00:56,109 --> 00:01:00,109
at the same time, the institutions are created and reinforced through treaties.

15
00:01:00,109 --> 00:01:06,709
The European Commission, which holds the executive power, and the Parliament and the Council of the European Union,

16
00:01:06,709 --> 00:01:12,409
which represents the legislative power, the European Court of Justice of the European Union,

17
00:01:12,409 --> 00:01:21,409
and the Central Bank of Europe develops monetary policy, and thanks to the European Union,

18
00:01:21,409 --> 00:01:29,750
countries develop a capitalist system of free market and a strong welfare state.
