(ANSA) - TRIESTE, 10 AGO - The debate on the challenges that
await Europe in the post Covid-19 will animate the 30th edition
of the Economic Forum of Krynica Zdroj (Poland), renamed the
'Davos of the East' by insiders, scheduled from 8 to 10
September, with more than 330 events the participation of
thousands of guests including politicians, experts, managers
from over 60 countries, in full compliance with health
regulations: the theme this year is "Europe after the pandemic:
solidarity, freedom, community?"."Solidarity - says Forum's
founder and chief Zygmunt Berdychowski in an interview on
„Rzeczpospolita" - because the year 2020 is primarily the 40th
anniversary of Solidarity. The movement that led to the fall of
the Berlin Wall changed our part of Europe so much. Freedom -
because discussions on how to combine the right to full freedom
for individuals and communities to realise one's own needs with
ever stronger movements that anarchise democratic reality are
becoming more frequent. And finally, community - because in our
part of the continent there is more and more talk about how to
take care of one's own identity and national interests while
creating the European Union.This slogan is also valid in the
context of a pandemic. How to build lasting international
solidarity in the fight against the biggest plague of the 21st
century? ? How much can the state limit the civil liberties of
the individual in the interest of the collective well-being of
citizens? Where is the boundary between the freedom of the
individual and his responsibility for the fate of the community?
Will awareness of the universal threat create a community that
will help us to overcome the COVID-19? (ANSA).
