A year ago today, during my travels through Latin America, I was completely awestruck by the breathtaking Cocora Valley in Colombia, home to the world’s tallest palm trees, which can tower up to 60 meters high. The landscape felt truly otherworldly.

Hiked the highest peak in Central America: Volćan Tajumulco. 4220 m high. Camped at 4000 to then catch this epic sunrise. Fascinating talking to locals about what’s going on in Guatemala. The people have been so kind & welcoming.

Remember: Orbán sits on the European Council, making decisions for the EU as a whole. And as the unanimity voting rule on foreign affairs gives him veto power, Putin is sitting there too.

Orbán’s chumminess with Putin isn’t just shameful – it is a threat to Europe’s security
