in the heat, in the cold, in the mud and rain

We are currently the best continent by many measures,

we will not evolve and we will fall behind.

I think the position of the EU on the world stage

but it should have a united front at the negotiating table.

The topic that interests me the most is migration

because it is very important for my country,

and also migration from beyond European borders.

But Europe also needs to be able to control its borders.

I don't think people leave their countries

I think it's important that my voice as an individual is heard

because of my age, life experience and work experience.

I think I can contribute something positive

I think it's the authorities' duty to inform us

without the challenges of the political process,

that can be dealt with quicker than normal.
