Of Gian Micalessin
He calls it the authority of democracy. Will be, but that of Emmanuel Macron, took up the chair at the European Parliament to explain to us how diversity of ideas is, for Europe, a danger comparable to a civil war, it does not seem like a desirable revisitation of freedom of thought.
