"Europe Needs to Do Less, but Do It Better"

In an interview for Magyar Nemzet during CPAC Hungary 2024, Antonio Giordano, secretary general of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) and Brothers of Italy (Fdl) MEP, spoke about tearing down the labels attached to right-wing parties, what he learned from his experience in Israel, and the over-expansion of EU bureaucracy.

Change will come when we become strong enough to strengthen the principle of subsidiarity. There are many issues that are of common interest, such as defense, not only at the level of physical weapons, but also in the field of cyber defense, as well as strategic autonomy in the fields of fuel, energy and food. But the European bureaucracy is getting involved in issues that are not in this realm," Giordano pointed out.

Finally, the ECR secretary general also expressed the hope that when the dust settles after the European Parliamentary elections in forty days' time, they will be able to take steps towards these goals with the backing of the electorate.
