Alexander Graf Lambsdorff was a guest in our home yesterday. The Vice President Of The European Parliament joined us for a discussion about immigration and Europe.

Chris Pyak is managing director of Immigrant Spirit GmbH. Immigrant Spirit recruits and retains international talent for companies in Germany.

Update! Three years later “English as a service language” has now been implemented in Düsseldorf and is part of the election platform of FDP for Germany.
