This spring at the Salon des Batailles in the HΓ΄tel de Crillon, Nicolas Lerner, head of French intelligence, asked me to ban conservative voices in Romania ahead of elections. I refused. We didnβt block protesters in Russia, Belarus, or Iran. We wonβt start doing it in Europe.


Many thanks to Thor Halvorssen and the Human Rights Foundation for inviting me to speak at the Oslo Freedom Forum next week. Iβm doing my best to join you at @osloff β letβs see if Iβm able to.
