Europe Needs Less "Hypocrisy" to Be More Effective: Former Italian PM

Bloomberg12-06-2025
Europe must rein in "excessive nationalism", and pay more attention to the Draghi Report on European Union competitiveness, according to Former Italian Prime Minister and Bocconi University President, Mario Monti. Monti says most of the obstacles that stand in the way of a unified single market are "in the hands of member states".

Monti spoke to Francine Lacqua on The Pulse. (Source: Bloomberg)
