The important role of cities and regions in the EU – for a green, social and prosperous local development (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, today we are talking about the important role of cities and regions in Europe, with two messages. Firstly, the need to involve and work hand in hand with big cities and big European urban centres. Why?

Madam President, during this term that we are now ending, we have experienced the most important health crisis that Europe has experienced in a century. We confined the population and our economies hibernated. It was a dramatic situation, but from which we draw some important lessons. First, that the most precious value of our society is the health of our citizens. Second, that the biggest and mos…
