ursula plassnik

main points of her speech:

1) mehr vertrauen (style l´Europe un contrat de confiance comme la pub DARTY)

2) mehr klarheit (klarheit means to be precis and transparent - great invention of german language )

3) mehr schwung ( she wants to make Eu hiphop and swing again !!!)

she ended her speech with a turkish poem about the sea, futur, hope etc,...

the inventor of europa hymn in latin Peter Roland suggested to make a europeanwide referendum about charta of human rights to revive the constitution

mozart revisited

on friday evening i was at the representation of mozart´s il nozze de figaro conducted by maestro ricard muti in a french adaptation . really cool. actually what was terrific is that i pad only 2 euros forthe entrance and then i had the chance to have a seat (normally it is not allowed. i also had the super ideas to put on my jeans to go to the opera which is a blaspheme and sacrilege nec plus ultra in vienna.whatever mozart would have like t i guess.

wir sind präsident

Today the main representants of the European Parliament were invited in the Austrian parliament in order to answer question to highschool kids. the event was significant :
Austrian Parliament is a symbol of being the first "European Parliament " in 1905 a mixture of polish, ukraine, hungarian, slovene, slovac deputies defended their rights in this assembly in their own language. unfortunately there was no interpret at that time. ukrains always fought with russians , polish club was very monarchist.it was also in this building that Richard Coudenhove Kalergi organised four paneuropean congres.
if european parliament want to move to vienna we have a great place called palmenhaus were they culd ove into. It is located in schönbrunn parc and we have just to move out some tropical plants.
