| Unreservedly European
In his book, Jean-Dominique Giuliani, President of the Robert Schuman Foundation and one of the best specialists on European issues, freely addresses his fellow citizens who should reject the French lies regarding the European Union while contributing relentlessly to improving it. Because in Europe it is always the ideas of the Great Nation that lead the way: Europe is something more for France and the French, nothing less. |
