We would like to preserve Europe for Europeans.

What we have to do is reinvent the idea of Europe.

Europe can be saved.

What we need is a common goal for more Europe.

Europe has what we do not have yet, a sense of the mysterious and inexorable limits of life, a sense, in a word, of tragedy. And we have what they sorely need: a sense of life's possibilities.

To avoid the trap of Europe fragmenting on the economy, security, and identity, we have to return to the original promises of the European project: peace, prosperity and freedom. We should have a real, adult, democratic debate about the Europe we want.

We have a huge responsibility to make sure that Europe remains a prosperous and peaceful continent.

We need to restore democracy and sovereignty in Europe.

We intend to continue our interest in the affairs of Europe and of the world.
