Petition 

For a new Europe of all citizens in all European Countries!

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, 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 peaceful, diverse, democratic Europe, open to all European countries - incl. Russia and Ukraine - allowing each one, given its rich specific historical experiences, to maintain its own institutions, cultures and languages and to cooperate together in many different ways, peacefully and successfully, for the common benefit of Europe!

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 role in Europe, the accession of new member countries and also on crises, in particular on refugees, 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 consistently 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 willing countries only) - exclusively to convert any potential aggressor into a valuable partner, cooperating successfully for
the benefit of Europe!

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 millions of citizens are calling on you, Ladies and Gentlemen in Eastern and Western Europe, with our peaceful pan-European online revolt, to start peace negotiations immediately, to lift mutual sanctions and to implement our new Europe democratically without delay, together with us!

Together with you, Ladies and Gentlemen, Members of Governments and of Parliaments across Europe, 
we can and must do it - a new era of peace, freedom, democracy and human rights - bottom-up - 
e-democratically - for the whole world - now! 
 

Thank you very much!

Your empowered, responsible citizens
(last name, first name, country)
