Abstract: Solidarity, a principle embedded by the United Nations and later at European level in the treaties of the European Union, is frequently used in the discourse of states, international organizations and citizens, especially in the light of events in recent years. It is currently a widely debated topic from a theoretical and practical perspective, also presupposing taking a series of measures comprising those that the European Union has understood to analyse, develop and apply with reference to the crisis generated by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. In the light of these events, the present article seeks to analyse in a concise manner the management and the implementation of the measures taken regarding the starting point of this crisis. It highlights the already existing premises in the history of the European Union that have generated the need for solidarity, but pointing out the uniqueness generated by this health crisis. The conclusions drawn from this analysis refer to the need for international and intra-EU cooperation through the development of public policies that ensure a sustainable and inclusive recovery, bearing the imprint of solidarity, equality between states and the protection of human rights, as well as providing support from all European Union citizens in order to build practical foundations for the principle of solidarity, not just theoretical ones, so as to ensure a much more efficient and quick response to possible new crises.
