A revamped long-term budget for the Union in a changing world (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we want a European budget that looks to the future but with its feet firmly planted in the real needs of people, without ambiguity and with more certainty. We have sent out some signals with the amendments in the committees and they have been accepted. The first, the family, is not a marginal voice but a pillar of European growth, as is the fight against depopulation, especially in rural areas. If we want to tackle the demographic decline, we need courageous, structural policies that focus on those who build communities every day: mothers, fathers and children. And also the local authorities: We cannot talk about cohesion if we leave out those who really know the territory. Municipalities and regions must be active from the beginning to the end of the procedure. Some progress has been made on smart and sustainable infrastructure: not only energy and transport but also water and digital tools. Finally, a principle that seems simple but is not: Simplify. Break down bureaucracy, give clear and accessible answers to those who want to invest in their territory and make our production system competitive. This is the framework where we imagine that we can work together, that we can work together on a real budget for a stronger, closer and more concrete Europe.

Establishment of a European Day of the Righteous (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, 'Italy pays tribute to the victims, clings to their loved ones, honours the courage of all the just who have risked or lost their lives to save others, and bows to the survivors for the tireless witness service they carry out'. With these words, the Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni honored all those who, in the darkest moments of history, had the courage to choose the good. And that is where I want to start today, because this statement contains the deepest meaning of the proposal we are discussing: The just are those who, faced with the horror of the Shoah, genocide, the brutality of totalitarianism, the blind violence of ideological and racial hatred, have not looked elsewhere. They are all those who defended human dignity under the heel of Nazism and Communism; Simple men and women, sometimes unknown by official history, but giants in the heart of humanity. At a time when evil returns to manifest itself with different faces, we must affirm that good deserves memory, public space and institutional recognition. It is a day to cultivate a Europe of values, not just regulations. I, as a mother, as an Italian, feel the duty to strongly support this initiative, because remembering the righteous is also a way to tell our children that there is no peace without memory, and there is no civilization without individual responsibility. And that Europe, if it wants to have a future, must know how to cultivate its roots and its identity.

The importance of trans-European transport infrastructure in times of stalling economic growth and major threats to Europe’s security (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we all agree on the strategic nature and importance of the infrastructure of the TEN-T corridors, i.e. the interconnection between ports, railways, interports, road connections and so on. My question is whether, within all the planning that you are carrying out, funds and appropriations are provided for the completion of the so-called "last mile", that is, the completion of even a few kilometers or small infrastructures that cross the TEN-T corridors with, for example, the corridors core: Let me give the example of the Adriatic-Tyrrhenian, the so-called Orte-Civitavecchia, which is an infrastructure that lacks eight kilometers but actually interconnects the Scandinavian-Mediterranean corridor with the two seas. Then, of course, not only in Italy but also in Europe there are several, I have also heard the other colleagues. The question is: having regard to the strategic nature, development and even the extent of competitiveness that these strategic infrastructures bring to the whole of Europe, if specific funds are provided within the programming, also by virtue of the Commissioners who last July I believe were appointed precisely for the study and completion of these corridors?
