"Diversity and prosperity are the basis of a united, strong and livable Europe in which all people live in peace and satisfaction. Europe needs strong regions, strong cultures and strong economies. There lies the power of a strong Europe."

"At a time when populism is gaining in significance in many European countries and beyond, it is more important than ever to participate in the political process – our democracy thrives on it. My urgent appeal to you: Strengthen the reason, send a signal and go to the European elections!"

"If Europe does not establish a proper raison d’etre soon, I fear bad and short term politics will drive out the real opportunity to make the case for a strong and integrated Europe as a vital part of a peaceful and prosperous 21st Century world."

"United Europe is an organisation that can help bridge the gap of understanding between countries. It can also strengthen the Franco-German link that is so important for Europe. Together, we can build an ambitious European future."

"In a Europe where there is a policy of compartmentalisation, free trade is restricted or even impossible. To duck is far more dangerous in the long run than flying the flag against populism, racism, nationalism and protectionism."

"Europe has patiently succeeded at achieving peace and unprecedented prosperity. We have built a unique area of tolerance, free trade and diversity. Yet it’s construction remains fragile and in need for our constant care, attention and love."
