A piece of news that warms the heart, in a Europe increasingly imprisoned by nationalism and the right. However, the more realistic part of me, which is also the part that has read and studied something about the movements of protest and revolution, knows very well that the passion of peoples and nations, especially the young, rarely corresponds to a political realism that can grasp all the demands. I do not hide from you with some regret that I miss that much younger version of myself, who asked fewer questions and was more devoted to passion than to reason. It may be that among the condemnations of the advancing years, there is also the awareness of having to be realistic. That is why I often understand, but do not always approve. A difference that a distracted interlocutor often fails to grasp. (translated)
