Pasquale Tridico hosts EU cohesion debate in Cerisano

Pasquale Tridico, head of the Movimento 5 Stelle delegation at the European Parliament, is hosting a conference in Cerisano to address territorial inequalities within the European Union. The event, titled “L’Europa può crescere senza le periferie? Il caso del Mezzogiorno d’Italia”, focuses on the economic and political future of Southern Italy.

By moving the debate from Brussels and Strasbourg to a peripheral village in the province of Cosenza, the initiative aims to reposition the Mezzogiorno not merely as a recipient of compensatory funds, but as a critical territory for measuring the effectiveness of EU cohesion strategies. The discussion will involve economists, scholars, and European officials to examine investments, productivity, and the tools required to bridge the gap between the Union's central and peripheral regions.
