When it rains, the water sits on top of the ground and they lay out small planks so you can go from tent to tent with shoes on. Right now there isn’t a tent set up, no Women Caucus, and no book presentation. The area slopes down towards the river. On the other side, there are the villas‘ gardens. Everywhere in between, but in such a way that you can’t see it, is barbed wire. A catastrophe has occurred, so I’m told over the phone, and I’m the one who caused it. Sure enough, just as he’d feared, the European Union had complained that we’d gone it alone. We had tabled a resolution. I see myself standing in the office the day before. We already had the resolution with us. Patrick had it in his hand. I was standing around, and somebody called out: „Does Austria sponsor the resolution?“ And I said: „I can’t decide that,“ and by the time Patrick said: „Write this down. We can figure it out,“ I was already out the door. I now convince myself of that, and it gives me the certainty to calmly tell the raging ambassador in such-and-such National Park: „It wasn’t me.“
