"This year I'm running the marathon!" - a proud New Year's resolution, but not mine. Nevertheless, January demanded some stamina from me and immediately started with a marathon of interviews: While events in Iran and Iraq were tumbling over, I was asked to assess the situation for various national newspapers. I also accompanied the topic in my parliamentary work. Alongside Europe's future and the Green Deal, the US-Iran conflict was one of the most important debates during the week of the Strasbourg part-session, both for my group and for the people on the ground. Back in Brussels it was time to say goodbye. With deep embraces and big tears. Carried by the hope that one day the British people will return. Now it is time to start negotiations. It will remain complicated.
