A Europe that protects…

Dear readers,
A Europe that protects is the motto that Austria has chosen for its rotating presidency of the EU, which will run until 31 December. A motto that can be interpreted in many different ways: A Europe that protects its citizens from poverty by implementing a robust social pillar, from diseases by applying the best health care measures, from injustice and persecution by putting in place a fair and just legal system, etc. It could also be taken to mean a Europe that provides shelter for those fleeing persecution and injustice, poverty or war.
