Former Italian PM Mario Monti appeals for a different Europe

In an exclusive interview with Euronews  former Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti has said that “we need a different Europe”, and warned about the “dangers” of nationalist parties, ahead of the EU elections.

Monti said he hopes for a significant political shift across the continent.

“We need a different Europe from the one we have had so far, even when the nationalist danger will be over,” he said.

Monti said that, although it is predicted that they will not reach a majority in the European Parliament, nationalist and populist parties will probably make major gains in Italy.

Italy goes to the polls on Sunday 26 May, while the first votes have already been placed in the UK and The Netherlands.

By the end of May, the make-up and leadership of the European Parliament will change.
