Maciej Witucki, the newly appointed president of BusinessEurope, has issued a stark warning to European policymakers, stating that the continent is "doomed" if it fails to deliver on the promise of a fully functional single market.
Speaking to Euronews, Witucki emphasized that the path forward does not require new, untested initiatives but rather the rigorous execution of strategies already in the pipeline.
"Don't look for any silver bullets, we already have plans — just implement them," Witucki said.

He argued that the current political landscape in Europe is fragile and that without tangible economic progress to offer citizens, the political system itself faces significant risk.
The business lobby chief framed the single market not merely as an economic technicality, but as a critical source of hope and stability for the broader electorate.
The urgency of Witucki’s message comes against a backdrop of structural challenges facing European industry.
