Rome, Oct. 25 (LaPresse) – “The world is changing faster than our policies. Our institutions must transform the way they think, formulate policies, and make decisions to keep pace with a rapidly evolving world,” said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in her speech at the Berlin Global Dialogue 2025. “Before we can project our power abroad, we must renew ourselves at home. Europe faces deep challenges: economic slowdown, strategic vulnerabilities, threats to its independence and its social model… But it also possesses exceptional resources. Our task is to leverage these strengths to ensure a strong, independent, and cohesive Europe,” von der Leyen added.
