Joining the EU as well as travelling and working in other Countries bear witness to this. It must be borne in mind, nevertheless, that the Countries that used to form part of the Eastern Block have a different mentality and culture than that of the Western European ones. Co-habitation is still marked by tensions, and, now, Covid-19 has shown that our privileges are not that evident\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Franti\u0161ek is a historian and much involved in politics. At the last elections, his party chose him as a candidate for the European Parliament in Brussels, and in the next regional elections he will be the main candidate for the Christian Democratic Union of Slovakia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Above all, we young people ought to be interested in what happens in Europe and in the world, and then take initiatives, for example, to vote or to be active in a political party. It\u2019s not democracy that needs to be changed, but the persons who shape democracy\u201d. According to Franti\u0161ek, the journey is a long one; however, what is important is to start with one\u2019s self, and not try unloading one\u2019s responsibility on others. \u201cI do not subscribe to all that <em>Fridays for Future<\/em> entails. Nevertheless, the young people succeeded to highlight a problem and to elicit a reaction from persons of all generations\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Franti\u0161ek Tal\u00ed\u0159 invites all persons to be aware of their roots in order to give a future to Europe. \u201cI\u2019ve read what the Father Founders of Europe wrote. Adenauer, De Gasperi and Schuman faced by far greater difficulties following the Second World War than the ones we are facing today.
