Petition “For a Europe of the citizens, with and for the citizens”
To Europe’s politicians, members of:
- the European Parliament
- the European Council
- the European Commission
- the Committee of Ministers and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
- the national Parliaments and Governments of 51 European countries
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We, the undersigned citizens of 51 European countries call for a new democratic and diverse, confederate and subsidiary Europe for the 21st century, close to us citizens, a Europe in which minorities are protected and where we all can live together in peace, freedom and prosperity. -
In particular, we call for:
1. A democratic and diverse Europe, in which we citizens determine per referendum our country’s place: in a politically integrated core Europe, or in a strong common market or in a vast free trade zone;
2. A subsidiary Europe, in which only shall be delegated to “Brussels” what is absolutely essential, not however what free, peacefully cooperating countries can themselves do as well or even better than “Europe”;
3. A Europe of empowered citizens, who shall have the last word on all important issues at the European level - In referenda;
4. A Europe that uses its crises (corona, climate change, Brexit, refugees, Ukraine,...) as opportunities to strengthen democracy, peace, freedom, security and prosperity throughout Europe and in the world;
5. A new, future-oriented European Constitution (the legal basis for our new Europe), which shall be elaborated by a Constitutional Assembly, elected by us citizens, and which then will be put into force in a referendum in each member country.
We committed Europeans now want to assume our responsibility for Europe by infecting all Europe - including you, Ladies and Gentlemen - with our irresistible democracy virus, so that you will implement our five requests without delay, democratically, together with us! - We shall do it with commitment, enthusiasm and referenda!
Thank you very much!
