Thanks for posting her speech. Cogent courage like hers is urgently needed now.
This just made my day! Thank you! I hope this politician’s refreshing honesty and passion signals a sea change in European attitudes after that arrogant prat Macron stoking antagonism by threatening to put ‘boots on the ground’.
