I owe this united, if fortunately not always harmonious, Europe a job that fulfils me, a child that I love, a life without borders that my grandparents never dared to hope for. Some of my best friends come from Croatia, the Czech Republic, Portugal, Poland, Italy … some other good friends are still waiting for their countries to join. First and foremost, Europe is not a bureaucratic monster, but a way of life. Freedom and togetherness. These are not empty phrases from advertising posters. I am determined to continue along this path. Who is joining us?
