According to the leading principle “a mentality that leads us to the future”, federal President Alexander van der Bellen opened the 79th Breenz festival with a usual moody speech. He pulled a dark image of the present, who transmitted nauseous feelings while listening. And finally came to a reconciling conclusion …
“So many crises, you can no longer look away with looking away,” Van der Bellen let the opening guests smile and become attentive at the same time. The always new “hottest summer in measuring history”, the double edge of fast fast technological development (“Does the gold only shine for … Tech billionaires?”), The smoldering and open conflicts “on the edge of Europe, in the Middle East, in parts of Africa”. All chaos let him search for “a principle on which we can all upgrade together again.”
What can that look like? In a future that will be neither “nor paradise nor apocalyptic”, but “turbulent and unpredictable”, one must “recognize reality, actively form shape and keep hope”.
“Why not a European AI?”
What can this “active form” look like? European companies, a European rail network, European armor: “If we have to invest more in our defense, and please we should please cooperative and great,” the president said. And: a strong Europe in a digital world. “Why should we not be able to build European AI? To become a digital sovereign Europe?”
Yes, why not, people were inclined to think at the end of his speech. Above all, during the brilliant version of the “Freuzützes” at the Breenz Festival stage, with film -like effects and strong voices. Carl Maria von Weber’s Operas Recording of the Seaside Sensing last year will premiere on Thursday.
“Every curse can be forbidden”, it happens there – “and what applies to the Freischütz also applies to the wish of” interesting times, “said Van der Bellen.
