Everyone has their own temple today. A place where you can hide. Where you can be protected. A church is a home. A place where faith, freedom, and unconditional love should live. Today there is a time when a church becomes a shelter, a house becomes a battlefield, a home becomes a territory of danger. Independence is a relative concept. So is freedom or peace. Especially peace. Independence is formed not in an abstract place called "country", but in every city, house, person, animal, and thing. The concept of "home" immediately refers to a rethinking of the system of values, unity, and responsibility. Today, for us, home has become a transit place. A home that we leave to protect ourselves. A home we will defend in order to live on. The European War of 2022, which began in Ukraine, is a transit time for the whole world. And no one knows what forms it will take, what it will look like in an hour, a day, two, a year or more. This war is a quantum leap in understanding and confidence in the values of freedom, sovereignty, and democracy, which every European has always been sure of and relied on in their actions.
