The Battle for Freedom: Redefining Liberalism in a Populist World
Freedom is under siege, twisted by populists and nationalists to stoke fear and division. Leaders like Trump, Orbán, and Meloni exploit legitimate concerns, turning them into weapons against inclusivity and progress. True liberalism champions not just individual freedoms but the shared humanity that binds us. The world doesn’t need more walls—it needs bridges built on understanding and unity. Let’s reclaim freedom as a beacon of inclusion and cooperation, not a battleground of exclusion. Together, we can redefine what it means to be truly free.
We may have missed the signs of the times?
For too long, Europe and Germany have relied on U.S. security guarantees, missing crucial developments along the way. With American troops withdrawing and geopolitical instability sparked by Russia, we face unprecedented challenges. But it’s not just our security—our economy also suffers from a lack of independence. Europe must come together, foster innovation, and become more self-reliant to thrive in a changing world. It’s time to recognize the signs of the times and make bold decisions—for a secure and prosperous future.
