Philippe Cayla of EuroNews asks, ‘will we choose to subscribe to nationalism or internationalism?’

Question: What's your question?

Philippe Cayla: It's a difficult question. I think the main issue with people would be nationalist or … in fact. Because I see it in Europe, but I think it's everywhere in the world.
