They stressed that the world order has been disrupted with the advent of new players on the international scene, hence the need to reach compromises to avoid geopolitical, economic or commercial tensions.
Thus, for the former Czech Deputy Prime Minister, Cyril Svoboda, the world lives to the rhythm of the multipolar era, particularly with the emergence of new economic powers and the increasing influence of multinational firms, which requires old powers to change their perception of the world order.
According to him, the trade war and the game of influence have favored an unstable and worrying political situation, notably with tensions which are transforming into armed conflicts in several regions of the world.
Referring to Europe, Mr. Svoboda estimated that the old continent continues to lose its influence throughout the world, and should therefore review its policy to adapt to the new global context.
For her part, the former Slovak Prime Minister, Iveta Radičová, focused on the resurgence of tensions and armed conflicts in the world and the emergence of populist discourses, as well as the progression of nationalism, noting that these trends promote protectionism and constitute a danger for trade.
For his part, the former Maltese Prime Minister, Joseph Muscat, considered that Europe must review its approach with the new economic powers, believing that the trade war can only accentuate inflation.
According to him, the EU is called to be more vigilant to global changes in order to fight against inflationary trends which impact the European population.
