Story of the Euro by Annalisa Piras in the ARTE Mediathek

15 December 2021. On 1 January, the Euro turns 20. To mark the occasion, the award-winning Italian-British film director and journalist Annalisa Piras, for years a dedicated participant and moderator of the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium, tells the story of the Euro through the voices of its founding fathers. Piras presents the story through a transnational perspective, but not without analysing its weaknesses, shortcomings, missed opportunities and dangers for the future.

With her film, she paints “the most comprehensive picture ever made of something that is not just a currency, but a symbol of unity and peace for some and a curse for others.”

The (German and French language) documentary is available in the ARTE Mediathek until 16 December.

Andrej Dynko: Diary from a Minsk prison

28 November 2021. Andrej Dynko, editor-in-chief of the Belarusian newspaper Nasha Niva from 2000 to 2020, spent 13 days in prison in July. Shortly after his release, the 47-year-old, who has participated in the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium in 2017, recounted his harrowing experiences in a Minsk prison. His article was published in the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on 11 October. Dynko is still under criminal investigation and is not permitted to leave the country, “but I am glad that at least I am together with my children,” he wrote us in an email. And he asks us: “Talk about Belarus, bring up the subject of Belarus whenever it makes sense, and let’s hope that a strong, united Europe with the rule of law will be the pole that will eventually change my country too.”
Andrei’s colleagues, the Nasha Niva editors Yegor Martinovich and Andrei Skurko, are still in Minsk’s Volodarka prison.
