Italy: The European Union should form an army for itself
| In the midst of international tensions from Europe to West Asia and the Indo-Pacific region, Italy announced that the European Union should form an army for itself. |
According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency from the Reuters news agency, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani on Sunday “La Stampa” newspaper said: “If we want to be peacekeepers in the world, we need a European army.” This is a basic precondition for having an effective European foreign policy.
He added: In a world with actors like America, China, Russia, India, with crises from the Middle East to the Indo-Pacific region, Italian citizens , German, French or Slovenian can only be protected by something (called the EU) that already exists.
European defense cooperation has increased the political agenda on the continent since the start of the Ukraine war.
Tajani also said that The European Union should make its leadership efficient and have a single presidency instead of the current structure with a President of the European Council and a President of the European Commission.
