Convention on the role of Italy to promote a European federation
On the 14th of January the MFE will gather in Rome pro-European and federalist representatives in the national parliament, the European Parliament, as well as in the political parties, social forces and NGO's, in a "Convention on the role of Italy to promote a European federation".
In the past Italy traditionally defended the prospect of a united and federal Europe at every important moment of the European integration process. The new government headed by Mario Monti can again play such a role in the course of the ongoing negotiation of the new treaty on an enhanced economic and monetary union decided at the European Council meeting last 8-9 December. The Convention intends to increase the awareness on a European federation as the only solution to address the dramatic economic and financial crisis facing Europe and discuss initiatives Italy can take in the next few months.
