Why "Our New Europe"?
The EU in Crises
The EU is in a crisis with many names: today, above all, war in Ukraine, climate, Corona, еarlier Brexit, the euro, refugees, Turkey, populism,.. So far, the EU had only one response: an ever closer, more centralized and larger Union, ultimately the United States of Europe; and basically it wants to continue like that: more of the same - the escape forward?
The citizens are left aside. Referenda at the EU level do not exist; national referenda on EU issues are avoided at all costs; results that the EU does not like are ignored, rejected or reinterpreted. More and more citizens feel disavowed, frustratet, not taken seriously.
"Our New Europe" for the first time gives all citizens across Europe the opportunity to participate at a fundamental debate on Europe's future and to
choose a third path between "Brussels" and the Brexit, between all and nothing:
What kind of Europe and of democracy do Europeans want? Do they want to leave the future of Europe in the hands of their politicians, or would thy
like to decide themselves on all major European issues?
If the EU does not want to change "from above", it has to be done bottom-up, starting best with the online-referendum "Our New Europe"!
