Rome – “Roma embraces you, but you will cause.” So the prime minister, Matteo Renzi, gave his welcome to the three leaders of the European institutions, the Presidents of the Commission, Jean Claude Juncker, the Parliament, Martin Schulz, and the Council, Donald Tusk, spoke at the Capitol for a debate on state of the Union. “This is the house in which Europe was just a dream and became a reality – underlined the prime minister in the Sala degli Orazi e Curiatii, where the treaties which marked the beginning of the path to the current EU were signed – and is the place where we want to give new impetus for the re-start of the European institutions “.
a reboot it to the Palazzo Chigi tenant must take place on three fronts: the cultural one,” for every euro spent must safely invested $ one in culture, to recover our suburbs “by radicalization, returned to reiterate Renzi; that of immigration, for which he thanked once again Juncker “because he called all the heads of state and government to be serious”, and supported the proposal of the Italian ‘migration compact’; the economy, because it is necessary to “a fair balance between the sacrosanct and rightful demands of compliance with the fiscal rules and the need to boost growth and investment” without which “the EU is bound to lose its international leadership. “
Only Schulz, European Socialists as Renzi, took the third of the” provocation “of the prime minister, stressing that” in some Member States there are governments who demand sacrifices from today’s parents to save banks while their children are unemployed. This is not the Europe that the citizens want to see, “said the number one of the Strasbourg hemicycle, which states that” the best way to counter the populist “anti-European” is to change “the economic policies.
That the German is however an isolated parenthesis. In the debate between the three is immigration and the contrast of nationalism which are holding the European course, the central theme. All have words of praise for the ‘migration compact’ proposed by the Italian government. For Tusk it offers “a unique opportunity” to make progress. “Making Europe a fortified city would be absurd – says – but we need to restore effective controls at external borders”. In his view, the only way to “seal the arrival road of radicalism in power” in several European countries.
According to Juncker, the problem of resistance that is having the adoption of a common agenda for immigration is that “public opinion is still too little national and European.” This produces political leaders “have a full-time European when it comes to taking, and European part-time when it comes to giving,” because in their relationship with the EU “only look at the public National.”
the three leaders of the EU institutions were then stimulated by the moderator of the debate, the president of the European university Institute of Florence, Joseph Weiler, on the issue of the candidates nominated for the presidency of the European Commission. This is the innovation that has characterized the last elections for the European Parliament in Strasbourg, where the European political families have indicated in advance their candidate for the Community delll’esecutivo guide.
To Shulz is “unthinkable that Parliament, once conquered this power “on the indication of the Commission president” might think to sell it. ” Juncker also is in favor of repeating the experience. “At the next election the people will know that if they vote for a party and what wins elections will express the Commission’s President.” Even Tusk – despite the European Council has recently rejected the possibility of institutionalizing this practice – he confessed that he was “contrary to the beginning,” but “I had to reverse,” he admitted.
