ERICE (TRAPANI) (ITALPRESS) – Vice-President of the Chamber of Deputies Giorgio Mulè spoke this afternoon at the Permanent Monitoring Panel on Geopolitics and visited the Foundation and Center for Scientific Culture Ettore Majorana, within the 58 Session of the International Seminars on Planetary Emergencies.
The Permanent Monitoring Panels are the working groups made up of international scholars and experts who each year face the great challenges of the planet, from climate to artificial intelligence, from safety to health, with a constructive look.
At the end of the visit, Giorgio Mulè signed the Erice Manifesto, written in 1982 by Professor Antonino Zichichi along with Nobel Prize winners Paul Dirac and Petr Kapitza. The Manifesto is the appeal of the international scientific community for peace and nuclear disarmament, signed over the years by over one hundred thousand scientists from all over the world. The signing of the Vice President of the Chamber today renews that commitment and confirms its relevance.
“It is essential that policy decisions are always based on scientific evidence and on what science, not imposing but suggesting on the basis of knowledge, makes available to institutions – says Mulè –. If, as a great statist said, it is necessary to know how to deliberate, then it is essential that politics be able to listen. Erice has been a crossroads of knowledge and elaboration of thought for decades, a place where dialogue between the scientific community and institutions can be translated into concrete tools to address the great challenges of our time. Scientific diplomacy is a pillar on which to build an increasingly effective parliamentary and intergovernmental diplomacy. It is through listening, comparison and ability to overcome the contrasts that science offers not simple theories, but practical indications about what we are called to do. It shows the issues related to artificial intelligence, as well as all the great themes that intertwine with politics and geopolitical. Once again, from Erice come not abstract recipes, but concrete and feasible proposals that politics has the duty to collect and transform into actions in the interest of future generations.”.
