Tusk: We need to stop radicals in their march for power

President of the the European Council Donald Tusk joined other leaders in a debate in Rome on the state of the European Union, warning against anti-EU sentiment that fuels nationalism on the continent. "We need to stop the radicals in their march to power," Tusk said. "From Poland to Spain, from Scandinavia to Italy, they are everywhere." An urgent goal for Brussels, Tusk said, must be to "convince our citizens that we are able to provide this feeling of security and stability" by "re-establishing effective control of our external borders." Tusk also stated that the "dream of one European state with one common interest, with one vision...one European nation, this was an illusion."
