Gozi: ‘Vetoes and personalism prevent the moderate pole. Fitto? Von der Leyen explain the opening to those who voted against her”
For Sandro Gozi the challenge is the relaunch of relations between the EU and the UK. The Renew Europe MEP and secretary general of the European Democratic Party – elected president of the Delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly for the Partnership between the EU and the UK – believes that there is room ‘to establish new forms of cooperation’ and that we must learn the lesson from Labour’s success: ‘Elections are won in the centre’.
‘Europe and Covid: why the prudent society is better than the risk-free society’
We live in a Darwinian moment. In these moments, it is not the strongest who wins, but the one who demonstrates the best capacity for adaptation and transformation: a capacity that the Union has shown it has with the Recovery Plan, while struggling on health and its role in the world.
‘Europe is a democratic community to be defended’
we are at a turning point in Europe. As you rightly pointed out, the battle over the rule of law is not a negotiation like any other. With Emmanuel Macron, we are defending the very identity of our Union: not a mere association of states but a true democratic community. All citizens must have the guarantee that we will always be at their side, if necessary even against their governments if they violate fundamental European values. We speak different languages, we come from different countries and different histories, we have different ideas, but there is something very deep that unites us: respect for human dignity, for freedom, for democracy. And this is the European identity, after two European civil wars, after the Shoah, after the Resistance.
Renzi halved the number of EU infringement procedures. And our credibility went up’
Dear Editor,
Yesterday your paper rightly denounced the worrying increase in the number of EU infringement procedures opened against Italy since the start of the Conte government: already 14, at a rate of about 1.5 per month. And more will follow in the coming weeks. At the start of the Renzi government, Italy was the country with the most infringements of any major EU country. A real European disgrace for one of the founding states. At the end of February 2014, there were even 121 infringements against Italy, and the trend was one of continuous increase.
