” “”What colour is the Europe women think of?". This is the question answered by nine European women journalists who today, on SIR Europa, reveal their dreams and expectations about the Old Continent. "We women and men, together, are Europe. Unfortunately, if we take the letters that compose the word ‘Europa’ and separate them one by one, we have a disturbing result: p-a-u-r-e (the Italian for ‘fears’). Only the “o” is missing to complete the word “Europa”. This was said by the Spanish Miriam Diez Bosch. Her opinion is echoed by the Bulgarian Iva Mihalova who sees "a rainbow Europe in which Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant Christians live together peacefully along with Muslims, Jewish, Buddhists and so on. Because we must build Europe on such universal values as mutual respect, tolerance and love". "A united Europe – it is the opinion of Zsuzsanna Szabò, Hungarian perhaps should be like a mother who does love her children as they are and does drive them to their greatest good". And it is with motherly love that Sarah Numico, Italian, writes to the child she is expecting and who will be born shortly: "I don’t know and I can’t tell you if you will have a better future, if the men and women of this earth and this Europe, the land where you are going to be born, will be able to heal the wounds of history … As far as your father and I can do, we will try to grasp, with you, the true, the beautiful and the good that is in this life, in spite of anything… Behave like a tactful guest and a sensible master on this earth. In this small space that is Europe".” “
