Well maybe just 1 bullet, properly projected of course!
I have seen on television in Germany years back such meetings, though of course on other topics. Your estimation is quite accurate. Attend to see and be seen, with fancy grub and drink. That's what so much of European politics is these days. Lots of hot air, and no fires.
