00:00It is clear that it is very easy to arrive with the barracks and bring 50 parliamentarians from Rome.
00:06There were only them, there were no other European parliamentarians.
00:09Well, maybe it's good to underline it.
00:11It is very easy to try to win a bit of electoral consensus
00:17by saying that Europe wants to rearm.
00:22It is much more difficult, I believe, to show an adult attitude,
00:28to study the texts, to modify them when they do not go well,
00:32because it is clear that we have all said that the bottom line is a first step,
00:36many others will have to follow,
00:38but I remember that when there were the founding moments of the European Union,
00:44and this, in my opinion, is a founding moment in the political history of our political union,
00:49we have always had a debate of controversies, of first steps, of adjustments.
00:55It happened with Schengen, it happened with the euro,
00:57it happened more recently with Covid.
00:59You will remember the discussions at the beginning,
01:02the Nordics who opposed each other, who did not want the euro bond,
01:05they did not want the common debt.
01:06Then we got to Next Generation E.
