Mr. Jean-Claude Juncker

Mr. President: your forum is, in fact, a place for debate, for dialogue, that seeks cohesion. The virtues of your forum are exactly the same for Europe as a whole: Europe must be a continent of dialogue, and not confrontation
Ms. Angela Merkel
Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany (2005-2021)
Despite being a very young organization, you have a really interesting mission:to promote social debate, talk about cohesion in our society, about economic strength. I want to congratulate you (José Luis Rodríguez), to your forum, because it doesn't limit this debate to Spain. With this forum Spain shows that its future, like a lot of people think in Germany, is a common future, an European future
