Since the Second World War, the treaties of the European Union, and in particular their economic constitution, have been based on predominantly mercantilist values. The consolidation of a common regulation for minimum wages at European level would strengthen the social protection of workers, by rebalancing the structures of economic and commercial relations in their favour. The paradox lies in the fact that it is currently not legally possible to establish such a single common instrument at European level. So why not reopen the debate and not only in Italy?

By launching the first European Conference on Plurilingualism in 2005, the founders of the OEP did not imagine the extent of the issue of linguistic diversity and plurilingualism. By emphasizing today the philosophical significance of the confrontation between, on the one hand, a monolingual ideology which permeates individual and collective behavior and the demand for plurilingualism, which we call the Plurilingual Imperative, we give its full reason for being to the multilingualism observatory project in Africa.

Paul Ghils is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of the famous international journal COSMOPOLIS in Brussels: "The initial project of the League of Nations, amplified by the United Nations, was strengthened in the 20th century and weakened during this century. The European colonial empires have certainly come to an end, but the graft of "imported" democracy is withering away and is not extinguishing internal conflicts, which sometimes turn to ethnocide or genocide... Focused on the immediate, humanity is unable to conceive of a law that integrates it into the biosphere and guarantees the common good of future generations." Interview. updated on July 9, 2024

“We start from the people: we strive to listen to them, to understand them… With regard to the “North”, we strive to provide the keys to understanding our situations and our struggles.

Democracy ! Everyone talks about it, even claims to act in its name and for its principles, but everyone interprets it as they wish, draws it, sketches it according to their own aspirations and under the yoke of their own interests...

While the overseas territories have human wealth, cultural diversity, creativity and considerable potential, we continue to underestimate the major interest in the influence of France and Europe, of these territories present in the four corners of the world and on three oceans. “I will not say France’s “disinterest”, but rather a certain “subjection” or “neocolonialism” whose dimensions it itself is expanding, placing the cursor according to its interests, to the detriment of those of indigenous peoples.” / Interview with Jean-Claude Mairal / current. on 07-22-2024..

Walles KOTRA, originally from the island of Tiga in New Caledonia, was executive director in charge of Overseas within the France Télévisions group./ Interview: “The French State must learn to reformulate itself. The process may appear complicated for a State that was built on Jacobinism but it is an important issue for the future. Academics, diplomats, economic and political leaders should take this subject head on. Unfortunately, I don’t have the impression that we are moving in this direction.” / Interview with JC MAIRAL / actil. 20.06.2024

“In Italy, unlike countries which have been able to opt for other models such as multiculturalism in the United Kingdom, or assimilationism in France, the capacity to invent and create good practices at the local level has prevailed, because Italy is a large country where strength lies above all in the territories. We should thus be able to synthesize the system and create a national framework law on immigration, reception and social cohesion” / Marwa MAHMOUD, in LAB Politiche et culture / 09-06-2024-
