I always defend the European Union because we cannot guarantee its existence. For some reason or another, there are those who will propose and advocate its abolition. If they do not say it that way they will find some other way to say it, such as those who want to take in Turkey immediately. They have another agenda. They want to create some type of loose trading arrangement at European Union level. We cannot guarantee the European Union forever. It is still fragile. Blood was spilt in its creation. What is a nation state? There is no such thing as a nation state. In any event, the borders and limitations of the states of Europe were drawn out by the sword and minorities were suppressed and exterminated in many cases. The European Union gave the first rights to minority languages and religious liberties. It is the second guarantor we have here as well as in Germany and elsewhere of a higher standard of government that will guarantee the individual's safety from old prejudices of the past. I am not without hope that we can extend that.
