we want that to every romania, c, d, 's us that isn't banned from the court from a judge to be able to be a candidate. if so normal, i think in every country we weren't expecting this. every little friend from abroad is asking me for we are, but not already public. or if we, if they would be interested if they come to bucharest to buy the military or so, we are not in not the south american dictatorship. we are part of the few where we are part of the european union and of nato. and we want to, uh, bring our contribution to the future of these alliance. thousands of come up the turkish president, read him. ty, by the one has expressed so full of a piece of it. so it could, this minutes remembers that there was an opportunity to take a historic step toward tearing down the wall of terra, that it stood between a 1000 year old brotherhood. no individual of this nation beat, a tux or codes, will forgive any one who brings this process to a dead end with. am beverly rhetoric and actions, as has happened during the past, is hardly just gathered in the box of a major city in south eastern. i'

that's why it's arrested george ask you in romania this past week. oh yeah. oh that's. it's absolutely terrified. people like the victim or bon and rubber seats. so in many others that are emerging, i mean things go a little bit more slowly and you up in the us when it comes to electro politics. but look at the victor the off day in germany. that's the people of europe are literally holding up their middle finger to their leadership right now. and the leadership is in full panic mode. the one indelible picture in my mind is the european sitting in paris and the kids table and mark router sitting right there with them saying, where are so mad that we're not invited to the big kids table i. e put in and trump speaking. so i think europe is losing its grip. it's going a little bit more slowly, but it's, i think something that's inevitable. what uh we have about 15 seconds more. i do think the electoral process in europe will continue the trend that we've seen from france buquet in germany. go ahead, daniel. i think yes, but slowly and i think judy debt, judy vince has done
