That's why I'm opposed to the opening of this negotiating chapter, which already cost some new EU member states a lot

Repositioning Our Entry Into the Third Decade

Comment 1 December 2019

At the same time, the growing absence of hope and the inability to see the global perspective seriously call into question faith in the future
