Parlamentary deficit and political representation in the European Union

Abstract

The current process of integration with the economic crisis is creating technocratic spaces. The multilevel constitutionalism idea breaks. The emergence of no majority bodies within the Union, affects a larger deficit. However, in 2014, with the European elections, the Union must express its democratic potential with citizen participation in European integration. Therefore, we analyzed the different problems of parliamentary deficit in the European Union and the contributions that are made in favour of the democratic principle from the institutions.
