And now Hungary. In a country supposedly so tightly held by its irremovable prime minister, even in this state where the “democrature” has been devised so extensively, a man breaking with the Orbán regime appears to be announcing the rebirth of a political life.

It is not simply the webpage of the Member of the European Parliament, who I have become with great apprehension. Not of the journalist either, who I have been for half a century.
It is a wild ambition: I wanted to give a report on my work as an elected representative in Brussels and in Strasbourg, to continue to follow the evolution of world politics and to try to describe and decipher the stakes and the mysteries behind the scenes of the European institutions.
I wanted to create a multilingual site, to step across the borders that sometimes still separate us.
“Smithing makes the smith”, I hope you will bear with me.
Yours,
Bernard Guetta
