Questionnaire "Our New Europe"

b) I wish that the citizens (in referenda) can have the final say in all important political decisions at the European level - and that their country give them this opporunity more often at the national level too.

a) The new constitution shall be elaborated and enacted based on the existing laws of the EU and member states (as done in the UE in 2003/09: Lisbon Treaty).

a) World Power USE with Powerful Offensive Army - always ready to fight!

I am asking for an ever larger, stronger, politically integrated European Union that is constantly expanding towards the East - with new member states (esp. Albania, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine, Moldova, Serbia, Kosovo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Georgia) – a new world power, the United States of Europe (USE), with a centralized foreign and security policy and a strong, globally deployable army under EU command!

In Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, I am asking the EU to unconditional support Ukraine, in particular with more heavy weapons - until the Ukrainian army successfully recapture all the territories occupied by Russia! - In the Peace Treaty dictated by the West, Russia must acknowledge its total defeat, accept the investigation of all Russian war crimes and to finance the reconstruction of Ukraine with enormous sums!

Referenda at European and national level would make Ukraine's victory and the EU's absolutely necessary integration process impossible – and would, in addition, hopelessly overwhelm citizens!

b) The Europe of autonomous Nations - armed, free, open, cooperating!!

I demand that my country do everything to maintain its autonomy, or rather decide a Brexit exit from the EU and from other international multilateral organizations, some of which are not democratically legitimized!

This will enable my Government and my Parliament to decide themselves on laws and international treaties – based on the specific needs, traditions and experiences of my country - and to cooperate with all countries for their mutual benefit and to strengthen peace in the world!

In the Ukraine war, I ask that my country - also in comparison with the EU and the USA – provide rapid, flexible, unconditional, broad and peace-oriented support to Ukraine, especially also on the political level, so that the terrible war and bloodshed can be stopped without delay - with open talks and a face-saving compromise!

c) The Citizens’ Europe - Diversified, Democratic, Neutral and Armed!

I want to  fight at all levels for a “Swiss” Europe; for a prosperous “Common European House”, open to all European countries, including Russia and Ukraine - and for our global Peace Project, shining throughout the world for democracy, peace and freedom, sustainability and justice, human rights and human dignity!

I demand an immediate, lasting peace in Ukraine (and the Middle East), certified by the UN and OSCE, based on an open dialogue and a fair compromise - as well as the non-violent take-over of power and responsibility in Europe by us citizens, with our army of millions of committed Europeans that can be mobilized online at any time!

This will turn millions of obedient "subjects" into empowered citizens and our rulers into true servants of the people, who - together with us – will end the war in Ukraine (and the Middle East) without delay, overcome crises (climate, refugees, pandemics...) efficiently, in global cooperation - and thus create a new, peaceful, free, democratic and just world order!

a) Climate apocalypse: 

I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. […] I want you to act as if your house is on fire. Because it's on fire!" (Greta Thunberg, 2019 at the World Economic Forum in Davos).

b)  EU/UN top-down: Business as usual: - Together with many EU and UN supporters, I am of the opinion that the impending global climate collapse can only be avoided with a fundamental reform of the entire system of the UN climate conferences, led by a strengthened and unified EU, in order to be able to force all countries of the world with carrot and stick to achieve their solemnly agreed, proudly announced, but often unrealized ambitious goals:

• The EU must go ahead with its good example and show that, and how, it will implement its "Green Deal" - top-down, in all areas and member states, with additional powers and resources, including transfer payments, taxes and sanctions, to become the first continent achieving climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest!
• The UN must foremost create new structures (e.g. an independent, lean UN climate agency), to be able, thereafter, according to the EU top-down approach, to efficiently coordinate, control and - if required -sanction the implementation of the Paris Agreement in all aeas and countries worldwide - and to surmount the global climate crisis successfully.
  
   

• As a consumer, by voluntarily and substantially reducing with a more ecological lifestyle the CO2 emissions I am causing;
• As a citizen of my country, by consistently commiting myself in my community, my region, my country and in Europe to the most appropriate and most effective climate-relevant measures at each of these levels, if possible also by means of referenda;
• As a citizen of the world by campaigning - in particular with petitions, initiatives and in elections - for an international cooperation, especially at the UN level, that will be most advantageous for all participating countries and for the climate, including:
   

• ​A global climate monitoring;
• A CO2 emission rights trading system on the emissions of willing countries;
• A voluntary international "climate cent" on fossil fuels to finance the most effective global climate protection measures, especially in the poorest areas of the world.
   

Panic, hysteria and aggression cannot save us, nor the climate, but rather cool-headed, determined, energetic, effective and efficient action worldwide can do it - and the belief in progress, in innovative strength and in the victory of sanity and reason all over the world!

a) The EU - top-down, centralized: 

• The centralization of measures to protect the population, e.g. the procurement of vaccines, and the coordination of border closings, lockdowns, tracing, test and vaccination campaigns;
• Effective aid with a lasting effect on the particularly hard-hit member countries, following the example of the 750 billion € "NextGenerationEU" plan for the digitalization and "greening" of Europe's economy;
• The financing of these EU aid packages with bonds on the capital market (debts) and via the EU budget with transfer payments from the rich to the poorer EU countries;
• In the longer term: A European Health Union and an EU tax to ensure the long-term funding of help.

b) We citizens - bottom-up:
 

​Together with all free, responsible and committed citizens throughout Europe, I want my country to assume its full responsibility to fight pandemics, so that it can react to the continuously changing local needs with the required rapidly effective measures - without delay, flexibly and whenever necessary.
 

Especially in emergencies, my government has to rely on us, responsible citizens - who, vice versa, in order to be able to trust our government, are imperatively dependent on fact-based, transparent, non-manipulated, plausible, and easily understandable official information and recommendations, e.g. regarding the home office, hygiene, mask and social distancing rules, tracing, test and vaccination campaigns - and if necessary also on binding regulations such as lockdowns, which, however, even in pandemics shall only be implemented with great caution, as a last resort, if possible limited to the public area!

c) My Government - with full powers:

I am asking for comprehensive permanent competencies for my government, so that it can fight the adverse consequences of Corona and of new pandemics quickly, effectively and with a lasting effect by implementing - if necessary temporarily even without parliament - tailor-made emergency programs, in particular:

• Mandatory regulations, e.g. for border closings, lockdowns and the home office, but also for efficient and sufficient financial incentives, e.g. for vaccination, test and tracing campaigns;
• Broad aid programs to revitalize and to strengthen the economy with a lasting effect, and to avoid mass unemployment, bankruptcy cascades and an impoverishment of my country's population;
• An increase of the national debt to finance aid programs on a long-term basis, supported by low interest rates and by an expansive monetary policy of the national central bank;
• The task of the EU consists in supporting member states quickly and unbureaucratically.
