The sixth summit between the European Union and the African Union ended yesterday in Brussels. "A summit characterized by the European need to return to being a protagonist and by Africa to emerge from the shadow of European paternalism. An attempt at rapprochement, however with chiaroscuro which, if not unraveled, risks pushing many African countries to seek non-EU alliances ”.
This is what the senator declares Marinella Pacific (Coraggio Italia), secretary of the Schengen, Europol and Immigration parliamentary committee, adding that: "Expecting from a non-industrialized continent to give up fossil fuels means continuing with paternalism and not with partnership, considering that Africa emits less than 4% of global CO2 emissions, as stated by the President of Senegal, Macky Sall ". Pacifico, president of the bilateral section of Italy-Tunisia friendship, also underlines that the summit was "a forum where Tunisian President Kais Saied was able to claim the exegesis of his election, based on democratic, precious values, in a continent where - in some countries - the exercise of government is based instead on military force ".
