In a few weeks, 400 million European citizens will be called to the polls to elect the new Parliament. This exercise in democracy is crucial for the future of the continent and the Union. Sergio Mattarella emphasized the importance of participation in the upcoming elections, stating that citizens are the protagonists of shaping the future of Europe.
The President of the Republic highlighted the need for incisive and courageous reforms that have been postponed until after the European Parliament elections. He emphasized the role of the European institutions and governments in ensuring that the Union plays a leading role in international affairs, contributing to peace, collaboration, and stability.
Mattarella stressed the importance of Europe and its member states actively participating in global events, rather than being mere spectators. This active involvement is essential for addressing the consequences of international events and shaping a better future for the continent and its citizens.
