“Our main mission”, said Sandro Gozi, “is certainly to consolidate the political space with Renew Europe, but alongside this – in a perspective of work that goes beyond 2024 – there is also the need to continue the dialogue with all democratic and centrist parties that, although belonging to other European political families, share values and objectives with us”.
“I thank the President of the Republic, our friend Christodoulides”, Gozi continued, “for welcoming us: a young, newly elected, independent and convinced pro-European President, who remains one of our favourite European leaders: we are expecting him soon in Brussels at the European Parliament”.
