Honouring Habermas as the godfather of European democracy

The late, great, German philosopher Jürgen Habermas should posthumously be awarded the Honorary Citizenship of the EU for his contribution to European democracy. The granting of this extraordinary status is a self-given prerogative of the European Council. So far, it has been bestowed upon after their death to political protagonists like Jean Monnet, Helmut Kohl and Jacques Delors.
