00:12And that is precisely why we must stand united. We need to stand up as one for what defines us.
00:22Today we stand side by side, not against each other, but rather with each other for freedom, democracy and the values that define Europe.
00:37Yes, Brexit has created obstacles. School exchanges, studying and internships, many things have become more difficult, especially for young people.

01:58Let us do so with confidence, ambition and the firm conviction that together we can achieve more than we can on our own.
02:08Like this, let us do so with responsibility.
02:23Thank you.
