My Dear Friend of Democracy,
Today, just a photo.
I took it recently in Malchow at the end of a two-day hike through the beautiful Prignitz region, Germany, halfway between Berlin and Hamburg.
Isn't the rose bush a lovely symbol of an established democracy? If the roots are strong, something extraordinary can emerge.
✊ Help ensure your country has strong roots, and use your vote in the ongoing EU election to defend democracy.
See you in Europe,
Johannes
