Europeans ‘would do well listening to Mario Draghi,’ OECD chief tells Euronews - EUROPE SAYS
Cormann said EU leaders would be wise to listen to the recommendations of former ECB president Draghi, who penned a report in 2024 calling for radical change in the functioning of the EU. On Monday, Draghi repeated his call suggesting the EU should be ran in the spirit of a “true federation” rather than a mosaic of individual countries.
“Mario Draghi is an exceptional leader,” Cormann told the flagship morning show Europe Today on Euronews. “Everybody would be well-advised to listen very carefully.”
“Europe is an overwhelmingly successfully continent, but it’s facing challenges. The EU has to position itself in the best possible way in evolving circumstances,” he added.
European Union leaders are set to meet at an informal retreat next week in Belgium, with Draghi in attendance at the invitation of European Council President António Costa.
