” “"The message of this Congress is an important opinion, which is taken to the public opinion for Europe and the social Europe to be able to have a future": it was stated by Elisabeth Bussmann, president of the Federation of the Catholic Family Associations in Europe (Fafce). "From the perspective of the existential situation of the families, I would have preferred a clearer opinion, because, especially in Germany, experience shows that societies without families have no future, without a family there is no State, and this applies not just to Germany but to Europe as well". However, she added, "we consider this Congress an important step, something like a 50 years’ interim balance, and we are motivated and we acknowledge the task of creating a social Europe, especially a Europe in which the families may feel at home and in which the families may have a future".” “
