That we helped each other or that we let each other down? Ulrike Guérot, a long-time Europe expert, reminds us that democracy is something different than everyone doing whatever they want. Openly, creatively, and courageously, she urges us to open the space for thinking about what a post-Corona Europe should look like. Who and how do we want to be in Europe then?.
