"Europe, a leap into the unknown" (Robert Schuman)

On 9 April, the Chaplain-President, in his capacity as Bishop Robert's adviser for EU affairs, attended a fascinating evening at Comece in which the Spanish author Victoria Martin de la Torre spoke about the new Polish translation of her book Europe, a Leap into the Unknown, a presentation of the lives of some of the founders of the European Union in the aftermath of the carnage of the Second World War. Two Polish MEPs, Roza Thun and Jan Olbrycht, were present to comment on the book from different political perspectives, and a lively public discussion took place about possible next directions for the EU.
