#Conservative #2ndamendment: This is a time in which a disturbingly #violent segment of #society feels #entitled to lash out against those who promote the #selfevident #truths upon which this nation was founded.

In the past months as EESC President, prioritising the delivery of my mandate's priorities has been paramount.
My commitment is stronger than ever, to make the EESC a bridge uniting #CivilSociety & 🇪🇺 institutions, acting as a platform for honest & inclusive debate.

❌ У мене є неформальний пекельний список в голові людей з моєї сфери, які в часи війни повели себе недостойно.

У вас є такий список?:)

#WhitePriveledge: The people who were asked to move their #boat so that the #riverboat could #dock in its reserved space should simply have complied.
