The international secretary of MGERB – Hristo Gadzhev participated in an international conference organized by the youth organization of the EPP (YEPP) on subject “What kind of Mediterranean union do we want”. It was held between February 3rd and February 6th in the town of Caserta – Italia. More than 70 participants from over 50 organizations from Europe, Middle East and North Africa participated in it. Main topic was the regional collaboration in politic, economic and cultural aspect between the European Union and the Mediterranean basin.
The conference passed in the presence of Italian politicians as Antonio Tajani - EU Transport Commissioner and Vice President of EPP, the ministers of Youth Affairs – Georgia Melony, regional and district governors of the provinces of Naples, Caserta and the Campania region and others. Main issue in the discussion was the common EU action in the Mediterranean and North Africa, and not perceived as a new kind of colonialism but as an integration and partnership” Viewed through the eyes of Africans”.
Another main issue was the fact the Europe looks like Italy in 16th century – the richest region in the continent, but divided into many small states. In the process of creating nation-states, Italy does not achieve unification. This is followed by more than 300 years period of regional impoverishment and control of other countries in all processes in the peninsula. So in the late 19th century when Italy achieves unification it is the poorest country in Europe. If Europe fails to achieve its integration in the next 20 years it’s really possible the Italy’s experience to be repeated by Europe, but in continental size and become a victim of great powers. If we want to preserve the culture and way of life - the only right way is a full EU integration.
