europe install is blocked everything
and watch that a moment enough
delicate and dangerous because the apnea
it can only last a period of time
limited and therefore it is enough
It is important to understand why we are finished
in this stalemate because of a certainty
everything has stuck that point
semi tomati mechanism since it was
It has been put on its feet and this is important
understand it to try to start again
then I would first like to try to
reasoning in a somewhat historical perspective
the stalemate of the Europeans does not have to
do with the news now we are
used that every day I repeat that
we got stuck
it is a very long historical process such as
this historical process then we try
to take the period in which you are
lived wants substantially the
pupils of the school the sant’anna from 92
until 2016 and we can split it to
half two first 12 years and the last 12
years is quite interesting because
we have an extremely point
important in 92 with the treaty of
maastricht because we go out a bit
from economic only Europe and let’s start
to take small steps towards
a stronger integration also on
other fields starting from integration
policy
this path continues until 2004
because we have other treaties that
other small steps are signed
go ahead, they are not leaps forward
huge but allow us to
keep going forward to progress
we have this peak in 2004
when we even try to write
all together a European constitution
it is however in the following years this
constitution is rejected then it is
as if we had done a bit of climbing
towards the summit of the mountain and from
then we were starting to go down again
and starting to go down you just have to see
what maybe also all of you
remember a little more as a memory of history
in recent years we are talking about a crisis
euro crisis crisis in 2016
we have suspended schengen
we challenged one of the
fundamental principles on which it is
built europe that is all
we can freely free circular
not to mention obviously what it is
success and united with the black city
So the question is how we got there
in this stall
now what does it mean to stall
basically it means that to a certain
point you can not reach anymore
where did you do that you struggle and you
stop what this stall is like
they are the goals of integration
European that we can not reach
very simply peace and security
economic prosperity and solidarity now
pay attention now what it is
success enough
interesting over time when
these goals have been decided
so in the fifties
simplifying and for the first decades
they wanted to say some very concrete things
very specific peace and security
we leave the second world war
it meant to ward off a new era
between Germany and Germany
substantially economic prosperity
it means securing the four freedoms
of circulation therefore goods services
capitals and personalities a circular one
freely in Europe and meant
build a single market and the
solidarity was essentially had to
what to do with cohesion policy with
the structural funds therefore take
of resources from some regions of europe
to distribute them in other regions at all times
within the same europe
what happens at the beginning of the years
90 and so what happened from
then until today we have
always the same goals as before but
to reach it we must do more
those things now I think nobody doubts
that at least in the short term
let’s hope we see what happens between
in a week
France and Germany begin to make it
war, however, we must not for this reason
doing things to make sure that there
be peace security in europe
just this thing now a lot
more to do with the fight against
terrorism with management between
quotes of the so-called failed states
what the states that are imposing
they are historically imploded also to the
border
we think of the north of Europe to Africa
economic prosperity and certainly
complete the single market but today
it means much more to make good ones
international agreements on many subjects
different on the trade in data
on the environment and solidarity
solidarity is still structural funds
in large part but above all to do
with huge issues like migration
what is the difference between these two
blocks for the first decades
of European integration we could
reach the goals that we are
data simply between us inside i
our borders inside ours
borders
I have to agree between Europeans for
to be able to have those
what happens to the sign of 90 that
to achieve those same goals
and then to make control of the
terrorism in order to make agreements
international to be able to manage or
try to manage immigration not
we need more doubts together as Europeans
manage to dialogue and negotiate outside
from Europe so you understand that
fundamental that it happened that in the
the last 25 years we jammed there was
created this stall because we have been
unable to adapt the institutions that
they created to reach those
objectives when it was enough to manage between
we Europeans to the new world and therefore not
we managed to move from this
internal look at this external look
at our borders
now the real question is why we are
been incapable ie what is it
success then the institutions that were
they were created at the beginning and then they have
taken the name of this method
Community provision substantially
a governance mechanism because
we were afraid to do the government to do
the government and these are concentrated
to do governance governance a
provided in a simplified way that
there was the European commission that
he proposed and then there was the parliament
of the council that with now decided the
mechanism was all more complex but
the general principle was that everyone
they took part in the decision-making process
so it’s a lot more process
participated much more consensual a lot
more inclusive problem what was that
when something was not right when
something is not good you do not know with whom
take a canvas there is not substantially
taking responsibility because
everyone participated is not that
classic mechanism
now we live in a country where
famous the expression raining government thief
so I do not want to say that we had to
necessarily get up to there but
at the same time there was a bit more like
say of complexity to understand the
difference in responsibility and who it was
Member of doing things at the European level
moreover we have always been afraid of
political word at the European level
I have not always talked about policies
then the various as he says pieces
sectors that had to be brought
ahead we always had an approach
very legal all the integration for
to be able to do something at the level of unity
European Union there was a need for a base
in an article of a treaty e
especially as for example the court of
justice vote role foundations
so for 30 years 40 years
advanced integration a lot thanks to
a legal dimension and very little
politics a very technical dimension
not to mention the fact that we have
given European integration
many regulatory powers
think about the competition policy but
relatively small budget e
when it’s not a budget you can not do it
true distribution policies what it is
success in recent years in the last
25 years simplifying we continued
to insist on the fact that we had to
escape any form like the plague
of politics as of Europe as a space
politic
to the point that we arrived almost at
paradox of constitutionalizing everything
that is, to bind us alone by removing
from political decision space
any decision 3 percent of the
fence report on the attached pil
so maastricht is 25 years ago
really sure you can not
retouch that you can not re-discuss it
that you can not rethink or it is
became a total dogma really
even right so but the fact that not
they can be forced to discuss it gives you
the idea of how we tried over time
to harness everybody’s hands
completely
not to mention the fact by a certain
point that institutional triangle between
parliamentary committee and council is
became a pyramid and at the top of
this pyramid is the advice
then the regular meetings of the
heads of state and government that
obviously they decide everything is obviously
the other institutions have become
subordinate institutions but understand that
when to decide and to a group of bosses
of state and government is a forum in
which every participant thinks first
own state that to the common interest e
so there was this prophecy of
nationalization
not to mention the fact that we
we have the most amazing parliament
of the world in europe the parliament
European is a parliament that can not be
dissolve before the deadline is a
parliament that does not express trust a
a government is essentially a
parliament that does not put taxes now
I understand that it is unpopular to talk about
taxes, however, if you think about it
democracy in europe starting from the kingdom
we built it on the principle
no taxation without representation
that is, you can not pass me if you do not give me
the possibility of electing i
representatives
now the parliament now works at
contrary we have the representatives but
these representatives can not raise
and lower taxes so they can not
create that dimension of
therefore policies understood as
majority opposition as choices
net because not all choices
they can be consensual and therefore that
what happened that that mechanism that
they had invented to do
European integration a bit of a pilot
semiautomatic a certain point in the years
70 in the 80s worked fine
to bring us to 1992 and then for
develop that integration when
we had to decide only between us Europeans
but it has jammed completely and not
it is more useful to be able to do now
next step and I am 25 years old
we are a little struggling so the stall
current what c from c from that not
we have an equipped Europe with
tools needed to reach the
objectives that we gave ourselves look at that
we are important targets we do not have
the potential of this has run out
institutional mechanics that we were there
data
we have instead the policies of the
decisions that we have to take a lot
little consensual and very divisive
think about immigration leaving
from the assumption that probably none
been alone can do enough
deciding not to decide is much more
bianconero that not a nuance of
so many grays putting around a table
at least on the basic principles of respect
to the decisions we want to take on
that and of course this is what it has
involved that compared to the challenges
epochals we had before us
at the beginning of the 90s we had
avant-garde with europe we have
started to be joined by others
we are always less avant-garde and
we are always less able
collectively as continents and of
give answers to citizens in the face of
these global challenges and therefore the
answer which is inevitably that i
reactionary movements are being done
wide throughout Europe
my name is relational, not by chance because
populists and something that if someone is
distracted thinks that there is inside the
word people are almost fine and then
now anything we do not like it
we call communist instead we speak i
national movements the people who want
close he wants to put the walls he wants
let us return to a kind of epoch
of gold that never existed
now the depression we are doing was enough
in the sense that once you can say
take a clear note that you are a bit
going dangerously slipping that
the story that is leading to one
prolonged apnea that ends up as
we all know with the risk of
sinking
the question that one does but there are some
hope around there are gods
weak signals very interesting ie
unconsciously or more or less
consciously we have built anyway
even in these 25 years some things
some completed some in progress
they are a bit there and they create a humus
fertile on which one can intervene and
weak signals are repeated however on
where we can start from
first of all mobility now to do the
Europeans is not that we do it with i
treated is not that we do it
we do doing common experiences at the
out of our each of us not
one only feels necessarily Pisan or
Sienese a reacino also feels
average Italian Lazio Lazio
because he banally his family or
some of his friends or someone of the
his relatives for what he did
the experience in other cities outside of the
its municipality
here is the same dynamic we must
reproduce in europe then the idea a
sure point to insist a lot on the
mobility is essential because the
mobility and connection in general
leads us to make common experiences that
they are the true factor of integration
when we do not speak for integration
to integrate the institutions but we speak
to develop a common identity that there
allows us to feel part of one
wider community and here we have three
very simple examples very well known
35 in 30 years we have three million e
half of Erasmus students
we have a situation where
low cost airlines
they start to carry more passengers
and therefore to facilitate the movement
of Europeans more than companies
traditional and we have the end of
roaming starting in 2017 from June
2017
technology affected a lot on this
we have to exploit 15 years ago it was
unthinkable at the end of roaming
because everyone was saying the companies
communication and will accept it
never
then certain point someone segmented
then rejected or knocks it down or otherwise
free phones the same around
for europe
second aspect of an interesting grain
the European public sphere now sphere
European public
I’ve been a lot in Brussels a
burn are all convinced that the
rest of Europe looks like Brussels
so they are all from all over the world
all of europe speak all languages and
you do not understand why the rest of the
world do not understand them here is when
we talk about the European public sphere we are
wool a different thing
we are talking that we always attend
more often to newspapers
and televisions that same day
they give the same news in different countries
Europeans therefore in Spain in France
greece in italy is debated the same
day of the same macro theme
important simply we do and
debates for yes I still know not
we know that that day when there is one
big problem of a sunken boat
in the Mediterranean it is not only spoken about in
Italy is also spoken in Spain and
therefore, polarizations are created
of the polarized debates in different
countries
so this is a public sphere
European unfinished much in walnut though
it’s interesting because at some point
it could be said to attend
an evolution of this identified of
pan-European publics
since we are at the end to discuss
along the same dividing lines on the
same theme the same day and then in the
treated we have put some segment
interesting European citizenship a
starting from maastricht those born after
1993 are European citizens
I was not born a European citizen
but I became this citizen
European presents some of that thing
that I told you before this approach
a little too legal then provides
guarantees to all European citizens
some small additional rights
small big additional right but not
has still matured significantly
how could and then we have this
very little used tool that
the European initiative one million i
seven month citizens can ask
to the commission to propose to do
read in a certain area on which
obviously he European competently this
it has not been absolutely exploited but
actually a very powerful tool if
we remembered how to say in
democracy do not work just the
representative elections to a certain
point citizens can be mobilized
on some things that are sometimes important and
potentially future we make
now
then surely it goes without saying that it does not
we are right in the waters
very easy because we have serious ones
problems of keeping democracy in
some countries within the European Union e
not to mention the borders nor
European Union and why attending a
return of poverty and inequality
so we have some vocal challenges on
which we must operate
so I’m a bit of time that
this debate returns too
this year in the 60 years we make Europe
more speed just faster to
it means now 28 27 you do not understand
not too much we take a hard core
what’s in it and with this hard core
we try to have everyone go on
together what are the problems compared to
this dynamic first not there
we forget that in the treaties
there is still space I mean the rules
of the current game in order to make some
small steps forward but we are still
talking about what the British
they would define nice to have of the small ones
things that would help but not
they change the general game scheme
according to provide treaties there is not
story when I was the age of the
students of the sant’anna attending
today we were at the end of that peak of
growth is basically the mantra
that they repeated to us was if we must do
advance Europe what is next
treaty we do today when there
we have a next treatise on the
next treaty will serve to return
It will be the first time we will do one
treated to go back
it will be a treaty that will serve to do
go out a country and imagine if i
another 27 will never succeed
agree to make a quantum leap in
ahead so there are no conditions
policies to make through an approach
legal if you want a how it was
made for 30 years 40 years Europe one
leap forward serious last attention to
restaurant and the menu la europa la cart
with the call we do not confuse Europe
where the card quotes it with europe
europe means that on every card
single dossier
let’s see what the states are
agree to go on the day that
I still love you we closed them all
because a cacophony comes out
institutional that compared to
governance I did not mention before
nobody understands then the suspicion
is that while everyone says that for
save Europe we need some
further institutional reform
I add, unfortunately
probably marginal we must try
to think from completely to the antipodes
of this and so I started to do
a very simple exercise taken one of
these words and I put the door and it
I tried to see what was coming
out maybe we have to go back to doing that
they did 60 years ago
60 years ago maybe we can try again
make an effort and imagine some
which is not inertial increase
compared to the past, however, here we have
used a pompous word revolution but
in reality what is the difference between
reform and reforms intervene on
pieces of the scheme and try to
improve it by fixing those
we probably have to rethink everything
the overall scheme we have to stop
to be institutional and we must
return to the primacy of politics
very simply I understand that it does not
the approach is however fashionable
institutional technocratic was
amazing for 40 years but now not
it works more then useless and to be furious
the last of course we have to do the
things in a net way
we have to rethink it profoundly
scheme now to do this we must
try aggregating and we must ask ourselves
But if we have enough people
around that they want time head and
lucidity in this direction and then
I ask you questions first where
they are Europeans because it is not that
this European integration as saying
it is written in some sacred text that
both the Bible is the Koran nor
doctors have ordained us so if there
we realize that this stuff works
just because in our interest that
so we all became too much
small as states to be able to manage
anything relevant to ours
daily lives and so if we do not go
to peck that part of the citizens
Europeans who are already aware of
these programs put them together
we risk that others who
they want to close the borders they do not have
need to aggregate because everyone is down
of its frontiers pro but also for
keep them open to everyone
agree to keep them open so you will see
that there is a competitive disadvantage
so we must equip ourselves
organize where the natives ended up
Europeans in their country with those who
I think they were born after 1993 the
citizenship then what we talk about
before now many of our young people
many of you already feel
naturally Europeans feel at home
everywhere in europe they are aware of
be European citizens closed like
identity and are often also active
as active citizens as activism
civic me voluntary in their own
community
do not make the mistake of thinking that the
the world you grew up in will be there
for the next 24 or 25 years because if not
we activate and if the part is not activated
younger than the European population
in reality we risk returning
seriously back and the third question
it’s the last question where it’s over
politics, politics understood as “gods”
beautiful things of noble things
politics has historically been the
claim of a right was made
a battle because one believed that
it was just to get something
politics was the fight against
injustice politics by one
progress tool now I do you
notice that all this mechanism
institutional technocratic was
built for 40 years and that according to me
it had a value for that period
historical was born thanks to politics
in the fifties it was not born thanks
to the technique or who knows what mechanism
abstrus so maybe we have to rediscover
politics and I’ll point you out another one
thing
from 90 from 89 and 92 always that period
the generation of today ‘s thirty-something of
forty years old today has grown a bit
with the illusion that by now the road
it was marked there was that and it is necessary
just walk along that road there and
so they told us a bit and we
we have believed it for many years
policy was not used if the face
simply use common sense and instead
now we are discovering that the world is
much more polarized is much more
divided by what we thought and not
we were appreciated to handle this
so managed world is organized like this
and therefore the rediscovery of politics is
essential to be able to return to do
the kind of battle and there is always also
because if we do not discover a certain
kind of politics politics will do it
those who want to go out will do it
those that when 250 thousand go down
people in a square in romania do
pretend nothing and keep going
with a law that heals crimes of
corruption and in general they will do it
those who try to divide and of
tear us apart
now there’s a Chinese so we do not talk
always of the
that some time ago said that the
best time to plant a tree was
20 years ago and that the best moment was
Now sir is called confused here
me is the doubt that the best is coming
moment to say do the only thing that
we miss Europe where we have created
the common institutions we have created i
ordinary citizens we lack politics
common and therefore how we do to
break down the last frontiers that then the
theme on the 13th of today which are the frontiers
of national politics and therefore the
best time to leave
it was probably in 92 it was when
we had to have to be a lot
shine and understand that it was changing
all that we would get into a long one
stalled and so maybe it is
the moment has arrived to give birth to a
European political movement because
the only way we can have
to counter all those who
they risk instead of taking advantage of
this stall
Look, they do not have to do big things
just keep the stall for another
as we welcome everyone and so it is
the time has come to mobilize everyone
remembering a very beautiful thing to
end who is this here that we are all
children of the stars thank you
[Applause]
