The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Mezzola, speaking to the participants of a meeting of the European Economic and Social Committee in Brussels, said that if the political and legislative answers that people expect are not found, they may turn to convenience , offered by extreme political forces, quoted by BTA.
The host of the meeting is EP.
"We must show that democracy deserves the trust and support of the people. We need to convince people not to take democracy for granted and that they should vote. To this end, we must respond to the ideas based on populism and nationalism," Mezzola urged.
"I am convinced that politics can remain the best way to achieve positive change. Europeans have different customs and languages, but this is precisely where our strength lies, and we will show the autocrats that this is not a weakness, as they expected," she added.
According to her, the pro-European majority survived the last elections for MEPs. As one of the main tasks for the coming years, Mezzola indicated the need for young people to feel that they can achieve success, as well as that they can have affordable housing.
