• Senator Misiani calls for progressive coordination against the global sovereignist right, citing Schlein-Sánchez meeting.
• Europe must become more self-reliant in energy, security, industry and defence due to US strategic pivot.
• Italy's 2027 election seen as potentially consequential for Europe's political direction.

"Senator Antonio Misiani (PD) argues that Italy's centre-left must internationalise its strategy in response to Donald Trump's return and the rise of the global sovereignist right. The meeting between Elly Schlein and Pedro Sánchez signals a push for a stronger, more independent EU on security, energy, industry and defence.
