European Citizens Want to Protect and Change Europe

The unexpected new thing revealed by the elections is the fact that political forces that are not against the institutional system (ALDE and the Greens) have been able to attract and provide political representation to the demand for (a better) Europe. It is to be hoped that this demand will not be betrayed. Europe needs profound innovation in a plurality of strategic fields of policy – the environment, the job market, the fight against inequalities, the economy, migration, social cohesion, trade, security and rights. It is to be hoped that the new political order emerging from the ballot box will enable the democratic forces to deal with this huge task adequately. The opportunities to learn from mistakes are infinite.

BARCA NOSTRA, an Exhibition on Europe’s Migration Crisis at La Biennale

Exactly four years after the tragic shipwreck that occurred on April 18th, 2015, the boat was released on April 18th, 2019, by the Italian Presidency of the Council of Ministers and the Italian Ministry of Defense, to be handed over to the Commune of Augusta through the project BARCA NOSTRA. It was a bureaucratic odyssey riddled with obstacles, to clear the ownership and responsibilities regarding the shipwreck’s uncertain fate, and to prepare the boat for the continuation of its journey.

From Being Part of the Erasmus Generation to a Convinced Eurosceptic

I had friends from all over Europe. We were young, but we still opened the door to the diversity that characterizes us in our adulthood. The Germans would quietly show off, they were the momentum of the European economy…

Identity? It Is like Drinking Coke When You Are Thirsty

If a person is thirsty and all she/he can see is a glass of Coca-Cola, she/he will want to drink it, seeing it as the right way to quench their thirst. And yet we know that drinking a sugary drink like Coca-Cola only gives a momentary reprieve from thirst, after which it gets worse...

UNICEF Thanks Italy’s Rescue of Migrants, but Warns Rome on its New NGO Code of Conduct

A statement from UNICEF stated that the Italian government's newly proposed code of conduct would prevent NGO vessels from entering Libyan waters to complete rescues and bar them from making phone calls or firing flares to signal their location to migrant boats in distress: "Restrictions on sea rescues or sending refugee children back to Libya are not solutions."

Italy Elected to UN Security Council for 2017 After Splitting Seat

Italy and the Netherlands' solution to split the seat of the non-permanent 2017-18 term of the UN Security Council may be a potential sign for greater unity of the EU in the UN. Leaders hint at a European Union seat on the UNSC. Historically, splitting a non-permanent seat in the Security Council was actually a common practice in the late 1950s through the mid-1960s

GB Out: See EU Later?

The UK wasn’t a real member of the European Union, at least not like others. Why then are we shocked by the nation’s vote that sees Europe isolated when the seas are rough on the English Channel? Yet the EU does have serious faults and shortcomings; may this slap in the face by the English serve as a wake up call to the EU, before it’s too late

GB Out: See EU Later?

La Gran Bretagna dentro l'Europa non c'era mai veramente entrata, almeno non come gli altri. Perché allora sorprendersi per il voto di una nazione che quando su La Manica il mare è agitato, vede l'Europa isolata? Ma l'UE ha le sue gravi colpe e mancanze, che lo schiaffo inglese serva a svegliarla, prima che sia troppo tardi

Brexit? Look Before You Leap

Let’s face it, dear little Englanders. Your country we all respect and admire, in spite of its great imperial past, and the huge advantage of having a global language called English everyone strives to learn or at least understand, is no longer a Premier League player
