Morawiecki, innovation,climate and defense challenges Europe

(ANSA) - KARPACZ, 03 SET - The return to innovation, an ambitious climate policy and the strengthening of defense capacity against possible aggression: the integration of these three major policies represent the challenge facing Europe today. This was supported by the former Polish Prime Minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, during the debate on the topic of "The Economic New Deal in Europe", at the 33rd Economic Forum in Karpacz (Poland).
    According to Morawiecki, we are faced with growing tensions on the international scene and an attempt to restructure supply chains, with the aim of Europe becoming independent, abandoning the current central role of China. "Poland - he explained - could be a beneficiary of this process, assuming the consolidation of Western countries and, more generally, of the free world".
    For the former prime minister, the increase in defense spending would allow Europe to defend itself from possible Russian aggression: to do so it would require the allocation of at least 3% of GDP by NATO countries, in order to "be in able, in 5-10 years, to defend ourselves without the United States".
