Sprawa jest bowiem poważna!
poważnie to się robi gdy czyta się takie teksty w których autor bierze to na poważnie...
z oficjalnej stronki tekst po angielsku, dla nieznających języka ani kontekstu tej wypowiedzi (dlatego podatnych na różne manipulacje) wyjaśniam, że to przemówienie dotyczyło Brexitu, a omawiany fragment dotyczy reakcji różnych liderów na świecie, a nie kontaktów z obcymi (hehe):
The British vote has clipped some of our many wings. But our flight goes on. We will not halt our journey into the future. New horizons await. And we are flying towards horizons that are those of Europe and of the entire planet.
Make no mistake, those who are watching us from afar are concerned. I have met and listened to several leaders. They are very worried because they are wondering about the course the European Union will take. So we must reassure Europeans and those who are watching us from further away.
http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_SPEECH-16-2353_en.htmprzy okazji warto przytoczyć bardzo ciekawe idee pod koniec tego jego przemówienia, oczywiście nieistotne i niepasujące do negatywnego obrazu tego "niesławnego" gościa tworzonego przez różnych dziwnych ludzi :
The European dream still exists. And we will have to work with determination and persistence, with renewed energy and with a revival of continental ambition. Now is not the time for navel-gazing — neither for us, nor for the United Kingdom. But
what we need is a view of the whole continental picture — that is what the Commission always bears in mind. And we should think back, although this sounds old-fashioned — but after all I’m often called an old-fashioned veteran — what was behind the birth of the European dream? Peace. That is not dead and forgotten.
Europe remains a project for peace. And I would like to say to the young people, in Britain too, where the majority of them voted to remain in the European Union: now is not the time for the continent to fragment again. At the start of the 20th century, 20% of the world’s population were European; by the end of the century Europeans will make up only 4% of a total population of 10 billion.
We are not the dominant world power. Europe’s share of global value creation will decline dramatically and we are the smallest continent — we need to remember these three things.
Europe cannot be explained just by looking backwards. That was true for my father’s generation but it is no longer true for young people growing up who tomorrow will animate our societies and rule our countries. Europe's future belongs to its youth.
