    Este trabajo analiza el camino constitucional europeo con los conceptos de Habermas de solidaridad e integración social. Un análisis del concepto de constitución y de los tratados (económicos) europeos revela la falta de integración social como un obstáculo para una mayor integración económica. El objetivo es vincular la justicia social y la democracia a nivel constitucional europeo sobre la base común de la igualdad. Desde esta perspectiva, el objetivo es demostrar la necesidad de una constitucionalización con una fuerte huella democrática y social debido al tipo de solidaridad que se encarna en los derechos sociales.

    This paper analyzes the European constitutional journey with the Habermasian concepts of solidarity and social integration. An analysis of the concept of constitution and of the European (economic) treaties reveals the lack of social integration as an obstacle to further economic integration. The aim is to link social justice and democracy at European constitutional level on the common basis of equality. From this perspective, the goal is to demonstrate the need for a constitutionalization with a strong democratic and social imprint because of the kind of solidarity which is embodied in the social rights.
