On the left people want to talk about inequalities. On the right people want to talk about immigration. Two sides of the same coin: a sense of belonging to the same community.

Gm Brussels

President’s dinner gala ahead of the state of Europe roundtable in Brussels. My yearly reminder that the future won’t be defined by people in suits. Yet, we have to rally some of them to build bridges and make sure they don’t do stupid stuff (e.g. #chatcontrol) I can also recognize the good work of Friends of Europe that is trying hard to create bridges with entrepreneurs, artists and civil society. I respect and support that.
