The Issue

For an european partnership, for a new european project, for our rulers to be more european persuasive, and bring us all to a strong and federal futur. To stop the despairing run-up of the populism, and the national ideology. Because in our global world we need global solutions and local applications. Because we do not want policies of division and destabilization anymore, because we want european politicians to be convinced that europe is our destiny and our commun goal: sign for the Union!!

Today, after months and years of eurosceptic climat, and non ambitious policies, Europe need more than ever a new project! Europe needs to be refreshed, europeans need to be secured and convinced again, to find the faith in the european fabulous project! Citizens of our continent needs to take part in this project and engaged themselves, we need to react!

Economists and experts speaks as one: Non-Europe would be a disaster for the global economy of our continent. « brexit » itself shows the mistake it is to leave europe, and how hard it is to keep investors banks and Trans-National companies when they know you’re outside of europe, it shows how incredibly insecure our market is because even if UK hasn’t officially leave the EU, it currency failed, and all imported products begin slowly to become more and more expensive ….

There’s no need of more proofs, that gave us the « brexit » and others experts about the studies of « non-europe » to understand the urgent need of more europe!

Politics must seize the noble part of policy: unification threw a project. That's what they lost this last years. Policy needs to find it leadership again, needs to find what makes it interesting and hopeful, what makes us dream of a better future. And Europe can make this policy, because Europe knows how to make us feel together as one and fight for our commun interest. But europe needs to find its brilliance again. Europe needs to find what makes it expansion, what made and still makes people willing to be part of it.


First of all Europe has a past, and not a simple past. The past of a continent ruined by individualism of its states, this continent with such a lot of responsibilities, able for the best and the worst: former head of a giant colonial empire, then leader of century long conflicts, twice concluded in World Wars; but also the cradle of democracy and of human rights, and today a large place of peace and freedom.

Europe is also a symbol of hope, hope of people -having been to long ennemies, and nowadays allies, which needed two Wars to build peace- in a continent ,who aims to a commun futur, who unite and decide to go further together, to make a better place for the 500 million citizens they are.
It’s a Europe of project that we defend, to often slowed down by national navel-gazing, by some selfish politicians, stubborn in their way of exclusively national policy, non-conscient of it fatal end…

It’s this europe made of union we want, this europe of projects, ambitions, visons, this europe heiress of the founding fathers, this strong and federal union, united and ambitious. This europe that makes closer, this europe that livens up, this europe that includes, this europe that makes together. We want an european europe, not a national europe, we want a europe proud of itself and of its values, proud of it citizens, proud of it institutions, proud of it radiation, proud of the exemple it is. Europe already showed its capacity to create ambitious common policies and to take the place wich is deserves on the international scene, but it doesn’t stop here.
To many project have been stop while there weren’t achieved, and to much politicians wants our project to blow up!

Because we won’t abandon our european project, because we’re tired of hearing and seeing ignorant and intolerant politicians using people and drying their feet on europe, without anyone responding them. Because we do not want to let our Europe erased, but want to help it to take a breath and carry it to new horizons!

To you, european convinced politicians who have our futur in your hands, we demand to take your responsibilities, to make your job, and to build again the european project!
Right, liberty, youth, diplomacy, agriculture, economy, policy, market, investment, migration, defense, international relations etc. Those are ALL common themes and owe be handled in commun! Their individual management at 27 would be ineffective!
We ask to every european convinced politician to act NOW, in a reasonable, coordinated and european way.

I’m only 15, I'm french and I feel concerned for Europe too, it’s everyone’s affair, I’m young and my future is in Europe, but not in any europe, it is in a strong europe. I want to grew up in an open Europe, and it’s a tolerant and prosper europe I want to transmit to the other generations. For all these reasons, I’m adressing you my message. To give a voice to all the europeans, often silent, young or not, conscious of what we owe to Europe, and that it’s our duty to protect it.

I do not settle as a politic personality, nor as a political connoisseur and have not the arrogance to propose however solution it is, I’m only requesting you to exercise completely what it is in your power to make, I make what at my level is possible to do, understand a public-spirited appeal there.

Europe belongs to us, it is our Town Hall, it is necessary to protect her!!
