The best leaders don't set timid and selfish goals but instead set bold targets that may be harder to achieve.

To me, the European Union says there is a charter that protects you; you have fundamental rights, and they are staying silent when they are violating my fundamental rights.

European values, civil rights, freedom of speech, freedom of informatio,n and freedom of assembly are being violated by Spain's central government.

As president, I have the right to call a referendum based on a law that the Catalan parliament has approved.

Politics and government are certainly among the most important of practical human interests.

I was never in politics before I contested the Lok Sabha by-elections after my father's death.

Today, I heard directly from Connecticut workers about the importance of strong, predictable federal research funding and how the federal government can be a better partner in spurring innovation and helping life-saving medication reach families who need it most.

I'm not politically committed at all in the popular sense; that is, to any party. I'm committed to whatever's best for the normal working person. I'm not a great fan of politics.
