Second, I never would have imagined going out to lunch with 4 people and there I found 40 people. This is a good sign, maybe Germany is warming up.
Third, Germany is breaking protocols. It’s a really good sign.
Today I came because finally, we have, not only a very good presence here, but we have something to show and what to say to invite people to come.
