'This is Europe' – an initiative proposed by the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola – consists of a series of debates with EU Heads of State or Government to discuss their visions for the future of the European Union. Following an earlier speech to the Parliament in this context by the Estonian Prime Minister, Kaja Kallas, on 3 May 2022, the Italian Prime Minister, Mario Draghi, was the first EU leader to address the Parliament after the latter's Conference of Presidents had endorsed the initiative on 28 April. Mr Draghi suggested numerous initiatives to strengthen the European Union, notably a conference to rationalise and optimise EU investment in military spending. He also expressed his support for abolishing the principle of unanimity in the Council for decision-making on foreign policy, and for Treaty changes, to achieve what he called 'pragmatic and ideal federalism'.
