europe is in our interest only with a stronger europe we can solve global problems starting from climate change we are in favor of the stronger our green deal in the european union but also with all of you with the new geo strategic challenges it is not in europe's interest one time to be side between an rising china or a possibility cruising the us in europe as a tourist to go and own way with a strong transatlantic ties but it's only you said strong transatlantic ties there on defense do you think for example if we're looking at the 2 percent g.d.p. targets in nato contributions if you will. will the green will a green government stick to that. you know we never accept that this term we think it's ridiculous that something you could call a golden calf but every a realistic in europe past camel on it security and that's not only a threat from russia in the east or around ukraine it's much more severe the threat coming from the south from the other side of the mediterranean sea we also have to invest also in military but we have to do it in a european way isn't anything other than just i
