With great pleasure I upload the video made by the Circoli Dossetti of Milan on the occasion of the conference, of which I was the speaker, on the theme "An unstable Europe can face the challenge of solidarity"? Once again, a heartfelt thanks to the Circoli Dossetti of Millano.

"Reviving the economy does not mean returning to the situation before the crisis, but making a leap forward". So reads the press release of 27 May 2020, with which the European Commission presented its proposal for the "Recovery Fund". Can we hope that this "leap forward" will bring us a different, better Europe, a Europe based on solidarity between peoples?

Report given during the conference on "Can an unstable Europe face the challenge of solidarity?". The conference focused on issues such as the Euro and the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), the Save States Fund, quantitative easing, as well as the new tools "put in place" to face the crisis caused by the spread Covid 19 (in particular, Recovery Fund).

Letter that Commissioners Gentiloni and Dombrovskis sent to the Eurogroup. The letter confirms that it will be possible to request assistance from #MES without undergoing "strict conditionality". The only conditionality will consist in the commitment to use the funds for healthcare expenses. The text confirms that a macroeconomic adjustment plan will not be signed.

L’Unione Europea è oggi alla resa dei conti con la storia. Quale direzione si deciderà di intraprendere per attraversare la crisi ed uscirne fuori? Ripercorrendo la filosofia di fondo che ha ispirato la strutturazione dell’Unione Economica e Monetaria e come sia stata riflessa nel Trattato di Maastricht, l’autore esamina gli strumenti elaborati in ambito europeo per la risoluzione delle crisi, e ne valuta l’idoneità ad affrontare l’emergenza sanitaria ed economica causata dalla diffusione del Covid-19.
