Intervento al Congresso del Partito Radicale del 1985. Un anno prima della sua morte. Basically you should be able to launch a similar initiative on a European scale, a campaign that at the same time frightens and encourages the Members of the European Parliament and thus, indirectly, frightens and encourages all European parties, at the moment all of them more or less asleep. You shouldn't carry out this campaign only in Italy. You have to become missionaries, campaigning in the other Member States. You will find others, other forces, there is the Federalist Movement with whom you'll form an alliance. But it is an initiative you can carry out together to exercise pressure in (electoral) competitions, but also by gathering signatures, and by agitations. I think that if you would be putting some of the efforts you've been investing in various national campaigns in this European one, you might obtain results since the situation is fluid and open about this. I would like to conclude by saying that the campaign for the European federation is culturally rooted, culturally as it is implanted in theRadical way of thinking. And it is not mere coincidence that Ernesto Rossi, who is perhaps the most important of your teachers was also among the founders of the European Federalist Movement. Take up this campaign! Bring in it your fervor and your grain of folly
