EUROPE. PRESERVING ROOTS, ACCELERATING THE FUTURE

Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament. Introduced by Bernhard Scholz, President of the Meeting for Friendship Amongst Peoples ETS Foundation

Europe Does Not Have the Luxury of Time: faster decisions, a fully integrated single market, a budget up to the challenges. But the true strength of the Union comes from older roots, the encounter between Greco-Roman, Judeo-Christian, and liberal and social thought, from which the dignity of the person, the rule of law, and the universality of rights derive. Expanding while remaining faithful to oneself, accelerating without losing memory, within complex historical circumstances. A Europe at once larger and truer.
