A Good Compromise Is One

We Have Very Stable Mechanisms Of Conflict Resolution In Terms Of Labor Relations, We Have A Very Good Transportation Infrastructure, We Provide Our Children With An Excellent Education And The Gap Between Rich And Poor In Germany Is Relatively Narrow. On The Other Hand, We Have Trouble Accepting Change.

If Europe Today Accounts For Just Over 7 Per Cent Of The World's Population, Produces Around 25 Per Cent Of Global Gdp And Has To Finance 50 Per Cent Of Global Social Spending, Then It's Obvious That It Will Have To Work Very Hard To Maintain Its Prosperity And Way Of Life.

Ever Since Germany Was Able To Regain Its Unity, It Is In An Even Stronger Position To Give Its Contribution To Upholding This Order To Which We Feel Committed And For Which Particularly People In The German Democratic Republic Stood Out There On The Streets To Keep This Up, To Maintain This Order.

For My Part, In Everything I Do, I Aim To Strengthen Democracy In Germany And Beyond. The United States Is Also A Strong Democracy. As We Are Seeing In Poland, For Example, And Also In Hungary, It Is Important That We Have Counterweights In Democratic Systems, And I Believe They Are Still Strong In America.

Belong Purportedly To Certain Groups Say, "we Are The People And Not The Others." That Is Something That We Cannot Allow To Happen. That Is Something That I Think At The Time In The Gdr - At The Time When We Had This In The Gdr, Where The People Stood In The Street And Said, "we Are The People," That Is Something That Filled Me With Great Joy.
