As long as our voices are heard!

Dear readers, While we were happy that the pandemic was ending after almost two years, we were shocked when Russia started to invade Ukraine on 24 February. Since then, the agenda of Europe has been the Russian invasion and the deplorable war in Ukraine. At a distance of 1500 km from Germany and 1277 km from Greece, the war is taking place...
