David Maria Sassoli's Testament to relaunch the European integration process
"We have ambitious projects for our Europe (...) the Green Deal, the digital transition, a stronger and more democratic Europe, greater social justice, these are strong and indispensable projects that Europe is pursuing, and we must succeed in them out of loyalty to our fellow citizens.
But Europe also, and above all, needs a new project of hope, a project that unites us, a project that can embody our Union, our values and our civilisation, a project that is obvious to all Europeans and that allows us to unite. I think this project can be built around three strong axes, around a threefold desire for Europe that is unanimously shared by all Europeans: that of a Europe that innovates, of a Europe that protects and of a Europe that is a beacon. (...)
Our Union is imperfect, it is always in the making.
(...) It is now up to us to translate these visions into concrete actions, so that Europe maintains its rank and its promises in the service of all European citizens'.
