    Het najagen van een illusie? De PvdA en Europa Gerrit Voerman De PvdA is van meet af aan voorstander geweest van de Europese integratie. Daarbij speelden zowel politieke als economische overwegingen een rol: het ging erom de aartsvijanden Duitsland en Frankrijk met elkaar te verzoenen en de groei van de welvaart te bevorderen door het slechten van handelsbarrières in West-Europa. Anno 2016 zijn deze motieven voor de PvdA nog steeds lei- dend. De voortschrijdende supranationale samenwerking wordt als een garantie gezien voor vrede, politieke stabiliteit en welvaart op het Europese continent. Naast politieke en economische beweegredenen had de PvdA op het Euro- pese vlak echter ook een uitgesproken ideologisch geïnspireerde doelstelling. In 1950, toen het proces van de Europese integratie daadwerkelijk op gang kwam, legde de partij een duidelijk verband tussen de totstandkoming van een Europe- se federatie en de verwezenlijking van een op democratisch-socialistische leest geschoeide maatschappij. ‘Geen socialisme zonder Europa. Geen Europa zon- der socialisme’, zo sprak de partij destijds hoopvol uit.1 Een planhuishouding op Europese schaal in combinatie met een democratisch en politiek verenigd Europa werd noodzakelijk geacht om een dergelijke samenleving te realiseren. Van een ‘rood’ Europa kwam het niet, maar dat neemt niet weg dat binnen de PvdA de hoop daarop lange tijd bleef sluimeren. In de jaren negentig, nadat de partij haar ideologische veren had afgeschud, verdween ook de gedachte van een socialistisch Europa, maar daarmee kwam aan het wensdenken niet 249 PvdA boek 3.indd 249 31-03-16 14:14 Gerrit Voerman geheel een einde: geen socialistisch Europa, maar wellicht toch wel een sociaal Europa, of een welvaartsstaat op Europees niveau.
