The Price of Freedom – A Warning to the West
Those who question freedom are attacking the basis of our lives
The open societies of the West are threatened by authoritarian, external opponents and by right-wing, left-wing and religious fundamentalists from the inside. For decades, countries have underestimated radical minorities and allowed them to enter through migration. But they do not tolerate either freedom of expression or equality for all. Identitarians from the right and left are poisoning the public climate, anti-Semites and enemies of the state have flung off their masks.
