The multiple crises that the EU has been facing over the last years are somewhat paradoxically the consequence of the success itself of the supranational polity. At the same time, they have shown all the weaknesses of the European institutional system. The article suggests that only a revitalisation of the representation and accountability mechanism of the Union can provide a solution to the current situation and prevent the legitimacy crisis from escalating.
