Mattarella, innovative responses to the crisis from the EU

Faced with changes in society "it is a question of confirming the model that sees democracies able to respond to crises with effectiveness and determination, in full respect of citizens' rights. This is what the European Union and its member states have implemented, with courageous and innovative responses. The actions taken at European level to overcome the crisis are a useful demonstration of the results that can be achieved when the principles of solidarity and loyal collaboration are expressed in a spirit of concreteness. The key to multilateralism remains the tool for building a path of sharing the destinies of the peoples of the world, sharing knowledge, cultures, values. This is a challenge to which Italy too will certainly be able to make its contribution ". This was written by the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella on the occasion of the First Soft Power Conference, organized by Francesco Rutelli in Venice from tomorrow to 1 September at the Giorgio Cini Foundation and the Prada Foundation.
