you john to begin with tell us what's your assessment did macros address resonate with a crowd when it was unusually personal i think. she's the person is not a politician who is often not very emotional in her speeches more quiet and pragmatic it was quite emotional she stressed the values of liberal democracies which were of course made possible in the east in eastern europe through the fall of the berlin wall in the laps of the. and i think that was particularly relevant because she said it also in the presence of the president of the bishop rod states the czech republic slovakia potent and hungry and in poland and hungary at least the rule of law which he specifically mentioned the rule of law is under threat to some extent because the judiciary is have been severely curtailed and the european union has criticized those countries for that let's take a look then instead at our franco to steinmeyer the president i mean in his address

he specifically spoke out against the threat of new walls within society i mean what exactly did he have in mind is it what we assume it might be well he was is a former foreign minister and i think he had also an international view it was a very impassioned speech i thought. in the german context of course we have seen a rise of far right ideas and far right political movements own. 2 weeks ago the far right alliance for germany's so called won a considerable victory at regional elections a state elections so i think he was thinking of that there's also been a rise of anti-semitism in germany only last night in the western german city of bielefeld 300000 population it was a very tiny demonstration only about $300.00 people but neo nazis marching on the 9th of november which is also of course the anniversary of the major program in
