Romano Prodi praises the environmentalist baby Greta Thunberg and underlines the need for the existence of the European Union. As reported Libero, on the sidelines of a conference held at the CNEL in Rome, Prodi declared: «He has many battles to do in his life. There is a bit of a sense of envy" he explained on the sidelines of the conference.
Thunberg "suddenly awakened attention that no other media tool would have ever awakened", explains Prodi. «Certainly she can't decide but, In my opinion, he made a nice contribution. Now we need to translate it into funding, technologies".
The former President of EU Commission and founder of the Ulivo attacks the sovereignists: «It is clear that no one wants to abolish nations, but if one says the Europe of nations it means that there is no Europe. Instead, I believe we should never be like the United States of America.", because the European ones «are countries with different traditions, different languages, with their own story". The union, says the professor, it is "increasingly necessary because two giants", USA and China, "they continue to grow".
Recently, in an interview with The Espresso Mortadella had proposed Angela Merkel as the next guide of the European Commission. According to Prodi, «she could be our Thomas Becket from a man of power at the sovereign's court to a converted bishop. She was considered the guardian of Germany's national interests and the enemy of Europe, today he can embody its spirit".
