We have numerous global challenges, "all challenges that require great collaboration. No one alone is able to respond alone and the exasperation of nationalism is an insidious virus that with the illusion of sovereignty eliminates the ability to give answers that require a consensus solidarity commitment of a supranational nature".
This was stated by the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, speaking in Bratislava.
"It is a dangerous virus that risks opposing instead of inducing collaboration as is increasingly evidently necessary", he added after an interview with the Slovak president Zuzana Caputova.
The head of state added that "the disinformation that is fed by Russia is an important issue. It is an insidious action that must be tackled more effectively and requires an awareness of the EU and NATO. It can distill unfounded doubts by spreading false news It's an insidious phenomenon."
Mattarella then added that "we recorded full harmony on all the points of view and all the chapters addressed. There is constant collaboration for the future. We have many very efficient collaboration fronts, our commercial exchange is significant and we count to increase it. A theme we have talked about and to be cultivated with great concreteness is that of renewables".
An important theme to be "cultivated with great concreteness and speed".
The war in Ukraine was also at the center of the talks: "The issue sees our countries in harmony on the defense of the territorial integrity of Kiev. Italy will provide support as long as it is necessary and requested from every point of view, because it is not only independence is at stake, but also Europe's future of peace. Other aggressions would follow and we cannot allow this: therefore we will guarantee our commitment in every measure".
