"Europeans need to show pride in institutions that exist because of what
we’ve learned from the past. It’s true that many citizens don’t relate
to these institutions and often don’t understand what they stand for –
which brings me to another crucial point: politics needs to speak
directly to people’s hearts and minds. Populists don’t have a monopoly
on emotions. Liberalism is based on emotions too. It is based on the
profound belief that freedom and equal rights are necessary for any
society to prosper as a whole."
A valuable example for liberals everywhere, not just in Europe.
