On Friday evening the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella addressed the nation once again in a speech in which he called on the European Union to show solidarity. "Further joint initiatives are indispensable, moving beyond old frameworks that are now out of step with the dramatic conditions our Continent finds itself in. I hope that everyone will fully understand, before it is too late, the gravity of the threat facing Europe. Solidarity is not only required by the values of the Union, but is also in our common interest," the head of state said.
