"Facing a transformation of magnitude never seen before in the past in terms of speed and impact on its people, Europe has a duty to develop and defend its own way, a model balancing economic and social development. Only a United Europe will have the size and impact to matter in the world."

"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!"

"What is Germany without Europe? In times of increasing populism and conflicts all over the world, we need a strong, democratic Europe. A high turnout at the upcoming European election would be a strong signal for a united Europe. The world needs a strong Europe."

"We are better together - economically, culturally and in every other way. Better together with 500 million people."

"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."

"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."

"The European Elections will require a resounding plebiscite to compel national parties to take a stand on the European model they want and to ignite debates on this model on the political stage."
