On May 27, at 8.45 pm, in the Sala dei Bigari in the Town Hall of Faenza, an appointment with the founder of +Europa and promoter of the “United States of Europe” list, the Hon. Benedetto Della Vedova, and some candidates from the same list in the North East constituency: Antonella Soldo, Kateryna Shmorhay, Francesco Bragagni. Together with the spokesperson of +Europa Ravenna, Nevio Salimbeni, and the provincial coordinator of Italia Viva, Roberto Fagnani.
In view of the Faenza event, Della Vedova declared:
“Our European Union, the result of courageous choices to achieve peace in a continent destroyed by wars and nationalist ideologies, is facing the most critical phase of its existence. Europe today is at a crossroads: either it takes on a central role in the world or it is destined to remain marginal, thus making the Italian economy even more marginal on a global level.
The EU must equip itself with the necessary tools for our time by becoming a true European federation: with a government responsible for its actions before Parliament, with a unitary foreign policy and a common defence, with a federal economic and fiscal policy, a of universal welfare, truly common migration and environmental policies in the interest of citizens and businesses.
In Faenza we want, in particular, to underline the inseparability between a sustainable and shared economic model in Europe, therefore also useful for Italian companies; a society open to individual freedoms, old and new; a global approach to environmental issues: from adaptation to climate change to new energy choices up to serious rules on land consumption”.
