Great to be at the World Congress on Justice with Children in Madrid 🇪🇸

A clear (and widening) age gap in another European election

But… under 25 jahre also indicating a growing divide within the cohort as 20% vote AfD

True to form (and colour) #fcunion constituency of Treptow Köpenick also vote Die Linke

Their future is bright
