> It is distressing to see that some far-right wing groups increased their votes in three countries. In nearly all the twenty seven countries the left wing groups lost votes. Or may be this is linked to the abstentionists, people do not believe in this time of crisis that the European Parliament will find solutions to their problems in their own countries. Yesterday France celebrated D-Day. It was fantastic to see President Obama, that is a strong sign to the world and gives hope.

> My admiration for this musician, Benjamin Britten, this document from YT, showing what happened and will never happen again in Europe. Let's hope....
