Open Letter to Tibor Navracsis, European Commissioner for Education, Culture Youth and Sport
Dear Mr Tibor Navracsics, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport It is with heavy and incredulous heart that I write to you requesting that you reconsider the actions taken against the EUYO forcing them to be wiped out as of September the 1st of this year. The frustration I feel is motivated variously - not only to fight for such a powerfully vibrant symphony orchestra but furthermore to protect what must be one of the most perfectly powerful emblems of our Union.
