22.12.2012 – Since the establishment of the state, we have never been so close or so far from fulfilling these ambitions. Tonight dreams are not only allowed: they are urgent. Much depends first of all on our will. And on our mutual trust. And on faith that we can manage it. And last but not least, as regards politics, on the responsibility towards the people who entrusted us with difficult decisions.
We do not bend under the weight of these burdens. We are not weaklings. Let us take a more demanding but more promising path. Let us bear the following in mind. Nothing was ever simply granted to our nation. The nation itself had to fight for everything. Not much has changed now. Let us walk together forward into the future.
For fortune favours the brave!
