This speech on Europe is going viral for all the right reasons

A video of a speech in the European Parliament by Spanish MEP Esteban Gonzales Pons is going viral on social media.

The rousing talk highlights the problems currently being faced on the continent, highlighting the importance of unity in a time of great instability.

He said: “Europe is currently bound to the North by populism and to the South by refugees drowned in the sea.

“To the East by Putin’s tanks, to the West by the Trump Wall.

“In the past by war, in the future with Brexit.

“Today, Europe is alone more than ever, but its citizens do not know it.

“Europe is, however, for that reason, the best solution and we do not know how to explain that to our citizens”.
