En tant que membre du groupe IND/DEM, placé sous une coprésidence danoise et britannique, je me rappelle l’histoire du Roi Canut: lassé des flatteries de ses courtisans, qui prétendaient que son pouvoir était sans limite, il les emmena sur la plage et ordonna à la mer de se retirer.
As a member of the IND/DEM Group, which has Danish and English co-chairmen, I am reminded of the story of King Canute: tired of the flattery of his courtiers who told him he could control anything and everything, he took them to the beach and commanded the sea to turn back.
