The summit of European civic participation is held in Gdansk from 17 to 19 March with a series of necessary reforms in the field of human and ecological rights at the center of the debate.
“Democracy, Ecology and Freedom beyond borders” is the title of the meeting promoted by Eumans, a pan-European movement of popular and nonviolent initiatives founded by former MEP Marco Cappato and European Alternatives.
In addition to relaunching the call for Ukraine’s accession to the European Union, various European Citizens’ Initiatives to be launched in the spring of 2023 will be discussed, these are tools of democracy which, if signed up by at least one million people of seven countries, will be able to formally propose the activation of a legislative process by the European Commission and the European Parliament.
During the three days, issues such as: the organization of a permanent assembly of European citizens, the European digital identity, transnational lists for the 2024 European elections, a fair European climate policy, the regulation of cannabis, safe abortion will be addressed , voluntary assisted dying, EU mechanism for asylum seekers and migrants, universal services and basic income, and therapeutic psychedelics.
All citizens can participate, until the end of the congress, in the drafting of the proposals at the center of the collection of signatures, as part of a European Open Source initiative. The info here.
“In a year there will be the European elections and the new European Commission will be nominated immediately afterwards – declare Marco Cappato and Virginia Fiume, co-presidents of Eumans. The coming months will offer us a tremendous opportunity to put radical reforms for democracy, sustainability, civil and social rights on the EU agenda. We believe that European civil society can play a much more decisive role in defining EU policies and the European Citizens’ Initiatives are by definition the tool available to citizens. Our meeting will involve both civil society and European institutions, involved to share their vision of both the country of origin and the future of Europe and the role that citizens can play in the public debate on the most pressing issues of our time, such as those at the center of the proposals of the European Citizens’ Initiatives”.
