The key problem for Europeans is that they’ve lost their “libido,” according to European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

“We don’t love each other. We’ve lost our collective libido,” Juncker told German newspaper Handelsblatt in an interview published online Thursday.

The former prime minister of Luxembourg was explaining why he believes it’s becoming more difficult for the EU to convince people with its argument against populism.

“We Europeans don’t know enough about each other. People in Lapland have no idea about what motivates people in Sicily,” he said. “But the EU needs joint rules for everyone. So we must pay more attention to the sensitivities of others.”

Juncker suggested the last time there was a “collective libido” in Europe was five or six years after World War II, arguing, however, that “these days it should be much easier for Europeans to fall in love with each other than it was in 1952.”

With the European Parliament election fast approaching on May 23-26, and nationalist, populist forces set to gain ground, Juncker said it won’t be easy for the traditional conservative and socialist groups to stick together.

“There is animosity between the two big groups in the European Parliament that wasn’t there before,” he said, referring to his center-right European People’s Party and the Socialists and Democrats. “The structure of the parties has become so disparate that it is very difficult to describe.”

He also expressed doubts about Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini’s ambitions for a right-wing alliance.

“Let’s wait and see whether this alliance ever actually materializes,” he said. “The right-wing populists do not find it difficult to condemn the EU. But since they spring from national movements, it goes against their nature to fight for something together at European level. An alliance would quickly fragment.”
