“It’s not just a set of problems. It’s a system where each crisis feeds the other,” declared Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni during the European political community meeting in Yerevan. She spoke of a polycrisis: “What does polycrisis mean? It’s not just dealing with many crises at once. The problem is that they are all connected and feed off each other. […] It’s not migration, it’s the economy, it’s democracy, it’s competitiveness, it’s energy, it’s security.”
