Those who do not know how to change these figures will know that the time has not come to divide us into national parts, but rather to stand united.” President Juncker also participated in a Citizens’ Dialogue with the theme “Europe Day 2017 – Which way forward for a better European Future?”, along with other prominent European figures.
