"Politics and law are quite similar. Both are sciences of reasoning. Only their toolkits are different. In politics arguments are not only technical but they are also filled with feelings and they reflect different ways of understanding the world. That is why that political debate, being in the center of societies' life, is much more delicate than legal debates. However, a community, regardless if it is a country or Europe can only function correctly if their members understand each other. And this is only possible if they are willing to understand each other. The idea of Duel Amical was inspired by a political debate I had with a friend of mine, which was enriching for both of us and which did not question our friendship."
