00:00The Trump administration is also sending provocative signals to Europe regarding its presence in NATO.
00:07Could this somehow weaken NATO, and what solutions do you propose within the European institutions?
00:16I want to interpret these provocations as a greater sense of responsibility that we must have.
00:22within an alliance in which in these 80 years we have delegated only a few
00:28responsibility for our security. There will not be a new NATO, there will simply be a stronger NATO.
00:33within which Europe is trying to build and strengthen a pillar to make it interoperable.
00:40This is our solution as the European Union within NATO, even stronger together and not in a
00:46alternative.
00:47And what about those citizens who fear too much public money for the arms race?
00:53But I believe it is wrong to contrast spending on security with spending on welfare.
00:59There will never be welfare if we do not guarantee security today.
01:02If our INPS system, our health system, were to be destroyed, do you realise that we have to
01:09insist on security, on strengthening our technological conditions, because today nobody imagines
01:16an invasion by air or by land, but we can have difficulties especially in managing
01:23of our energy supply rather than our infrastructure.
