00:00What do you think about the future of Europe?
00:05I think that, as in this historical phase,
00:08Europe has a visceral need for strategic autonomy.
00:12Until now, Europe, in many sectors,
00:15has been dependent on third countries,
00:19has linked its destiny to that of third countries.
00:22We have seen it during the pandemic,
00:24but we have also seen it in moments
00:26not strictly related to the medical-sanitary field,
00:29when a third country makes political choices
00:32that are different from those made so far.
00:34I think, for example, of the US government.
00:37This has, all of a sudden,
00:39very serious repercussions on the economy
00:42and on European strategy.
00:44So, Europe today must find its own autonomy,
00:48but above all, resist the temptation
00:50of those who would like to replace
00:52a dependency on a country with a dependency on others.
