All'Europa realmente esistente, che lascia annegare i migranti e arma i neo-nazisti in nome della pace, preferisco quella vagheggiata nei libri e prefigurata nella vita da Joseph Roth: "un'Europa senza frontiere, forte delle proprie differenze, segnata da un universalismo non uniformante. [...] l'Europa come patria dei senzapatria".
