Strasbourg – “Today, we are all asked to become more responsible, show more initiative, more cohesion. Only then can we meet the challenges that an arrogant terrorism places inside our homes, after pervading the Middle East, Asia and Africa.” The Italian President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, addressed a formal sitting of the European Parliament, speaking of the “bipolar contrasts that pushed the European countries to remain united. Today, from the east and south, there is a new wave of instability that is right at our borders. And today more than ever, it essential to promote – together – smart neighborhood policies and share strategies for building peace and isolating extremism”. (9Colonne)
