Petition
For a new, peaceful, diverse, democratic Europe for all its citizens!
To Europe’s politicians, members of:
- Governments and Parliaments of all European countries from Vladivostok to Rexykjavik,
- the Ministerial Committee as well as the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe,
- the European Parliament,
- the European Council,
- the European Commission!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We, the undersigned citizens of 51 European countries, call for a new, peaceful and democratic, diverse, confederal and subsidiary, strong, prosperous and sustainable Europe for the 21st century, a Europe that protects its minorities and in which we can all live together in peace and freedom. - In particular, we are asking for:
1. A Europe open to all countries - incl. Russia and Ukraine - which allows all countries - given their rich historical experiences and achievements - to preserve and strengthen their traditions, institutions, cultures and languages and to work together in peace and in various areas for the benefit of all European countries and peoples!
2. A subsidiary Europe, in which shall be delegated to "Europe" only what is absolutely necessary, but not what free, peacefully cooperating countries can regulate themselves just as well or even better!
3. A direct-democratic Europe, in which we empowered citizens shall have the last word on all important issues with referenda - e.g. on our country’s place in Europe, the accession of new member countries and crises such as refugee dramas, pandemics, climate change and the war in Europe!
4. A Europe in which such crises will never again be settled with wars, but peacefully, with the ballot sheet, on the basis of - if necessary - difficult negotiations and with fair compromises - and always be used as opportunities to strengthen democracy, peace and freedom, security, welfare and human rights - throughout Europe!
5. A strong, neutral Europe, which - to maintain its security and independence, to prevent wars and to strengthen peace in the world - will use its purely defensive army - consisting of the armed forces of willing countries only - exclusively to convert any potential aggressor into a reliably cooperationg partner!
6. A Europe to be created democratically with a future-oriented constitution, for which the citizens elect their country’s representatives to the constitutional council, then ratify the constitution in a national referendum and finally implement and further develop it in regular referenda according to their future needs!
Alarmed by the severe crises and the war in Europe, we are calling on you, Ladies and Gentlemen, with our violently non-violent citizens’ revolution online in all European countries - to start peace negotiations immediately, to lift mutual sanctions and to start implementing our new Europe together with us, democratically and without delay!
We can and must do this, Ladies and Gentlemen, Members of Governments and Parliaments - e-democratically, bottom up, together with you: - A new era, our European Peace Project - beacon in the world for peace, freedom, democracy, human rights and human dignity! - Let’s do it! - Now!
Thank you very much!
Your empowered, responsible citizens of all European countries
(first name, last name, country)
