Nesta conversa do podcast Biblioteca Europa, Ana Rita Bessa reflecte sobre a identidade europeia, começando com uma citação de Vaclav Havel: “Por outras palavras, eu era tão óbvia e naturalmente europeu que nem sequer pensava nisso. E estou certo de que isto se aplica à maioria dos europeus. São profundamente europeus, mas nem sequer têm consciência disso.”
A partir daí, a conversa aprofunda-se num tributo ao exemplo de coragem, resiliência e compromisso com os direitos humanos que define a vida de Simone Veil.
Sobre a ideia de uma utopia europeia, recorre-se também a Milan Kundera, que, em 1983, observou: “A Europa Central não é um estado, mas uma cultura ou um destino. Sua fronteira é imaginária e deve ser traçada no espírito, não nas linhas políticas.”
Neste episódio são referidos os livros Uma Vida Simone Veil, de Simone Veil, e Um Ocidente Sequestrado ou a Tragédia da Europa Central, de Milan Kundera.
