Ursula von der Leyen
The recent confirmation of Ursula von der Leyen as the President of the European Commission marks a pivotal moment for the European Union, which faces complex challenges and significant opportunities. Von der Leyen’s leadership will be crucial in guiding the EU towards greater cohesion, economic sustainability, and fiscal harmonization.
According to Paolo Longobardi, honorary president of Unimpresa, one of the main goals for the EU Commission in the next five years will be to strengthen unity among member states. Europe’s cultural and political diversity is a valuable asset that must be transformed into a united and cohesive force. This will require increased integration and collaboration, overcoming divisions, and building a stronger, more supportive community.
The EU’s economic policies must be designed to be sustainable and inclusive, taking into account the specificities of each country. Economic sustainability should not be just a buzzword but a guiding principle of European policies. Economic initiatives should respect and enhance local particularities while promoting growth and resilience at the European level.
Another crucial aspect for the Union’s future will be the implementation of a common fiscal policy. Longobardi emphasizes the need to move towards creating a common EU public debt to strengthen financial stability and crisis response capabilities. A shared approach to fiscal policy will allow for equitable resource distribution and a collective strength in facing economic challenges.
The confirmation of Ursula von der Leyen presents an opportunity to achieve these ambitious goals. With her experience and vision, it is hoped that the EU can continue to progress towards a more cohesive, sustainable, and prosperous future for all its citizens. Unimpresa wishes President von der Leyen and her team a successful mandate, ready to actively collaborate for Europe’s common good.
