For a federal Europe, sovereign and democratic - The time is now!

Sunday 8 May 2022, 10:30-12:30 | Strasbourg, Grande Salle de l’Aubette and online

Against the return of war in Europe, for the defence of democratic values, freedom and justice, to bring to the world a peaceful model of coexistence between people and to show the way to tackle the great global challenges of our time, we need a federal, sovereign and democratic Europe.

After the Conference on the Future of Europe, let’s launch a Convention to reform the Treaties, in response to the needs and demands of the citizens and building on the achievements of the Conference.
