00:34And, dear friends and friends, I would like to think with you again to end this thought.
00:41What does that mean?
00:43We are not only looking at ourselves, we are not only looking at this European Union, we are looking
00:48at a political model, we are looking at a principle, we are looking at the fundamental decisions
