Lady Thatcher and Central Europe

English Pages, 2. 10. 2025

I feel honoured to be here today and to have the opportunity to say a few words at this important gathering devoted to one of my heroes, Lady Thatcher. In fact, she is not “one of my heroes”. She is the hero. It is more than appropriate to celebrate the 100th anniversary of her birth and – and I am sure I speak for all of us – I thank John O’Sullivan, Melissa and the whole Danube Institute for organizing this event. As a consequence of your invitation, I was motivated to organize a similar event in my institute in Prague.
