L'Europa alla prova delle elezioni: le sfide nello scenario internazionale

La rotta dell'Europa: direzioni zero asilo

Europe tested by elections: the challenges on the international scene

In 2024, more than half of the world's population will be called to vote and the electoral results will have an impact on the international context from a political and economic point of view. For Europe, the impact will be had not only in individual member states but also in the various territories in which they have important interests, throughout the African continent. In this scenario, will the promotion of sustainable and long-lasting development through a "global and non-predatory" approach towards Africa, as envisaged for example by the Mattei Plan, really be achievable? The umpteenth impoverishment suffered by Africa is taking place, in fact, under the guise of migrating "with unhappiness, extreme precariousness and humiliation" for young people, as underlined by Moussa Faki Mahamat, President of the African Union Commission, on the occasion of the Italy – Africa summit at the end of January. Is it perhaps time to rethink the migration phenomenon from a different perspective, that of countries "emptied of their resources", not only material but also human, and not with a security perspective?
