Together for Europe
Many cities, one voice

On the 15 March 2025, 3:30 pm in Brussels Place de l’Albertine, the Union of European Federalists, together with other organisations, will join the demonstration for Europe.

This initiative, started with “Una piazza per l’Europa” promoted in Rome from Michele Serra’s appeal and now arrived to Brussels.

“
Yet I do think that a demonstration with only European flags, with the sole goal (doesn’t matter how ambitious — what matters is the vision, the value) of defending the freedom and unity of the European peoples, would have a profound and reassuring meaning for those who take part in it
” – Michele Serra

You can read the full appeal of Michele Serra here: LINK.

We will gather with EU flags to reiterate the urgent need for the United States of Europe.

Currently, we are witnessing the excessive power of imperialism from China, Russia, and now the USA. Trump’s presidency is transforming the leading power of the free world and Europe’s undisputed ally into a nation that disregards democracy. In the name of extreme nationalism, the U.S. now operates solely on the logic of force and oppression.

Only united can we, as Europeans, protect ourselves from the dual threat already underway: against our security, which Trump views as a burden and is willing to sell, along with Ukraine’s; and against democracy, which hinders the rise of a new autocratic and populist international order.

Together, we can keep hope alive and fight for our principles and values. We can promote a different model of state and society, founded on freedom, democracy, justice, and solidarity.

Europe has the potential to embody these values and more, defeating nationalism. However, today’s fragmented and divided Europe is too vulnerable and weak. We need the federal Europe envisioned in the Ventotene Manifesto, one that can channel popular passions into a new mold of supranational democracy.

The dream of the United States of Europe has become a necessity for all. Let’s unite next Saturday to amplify the voices of citizens demanding a future of freedom and the creation of the United States of Europe.

Let’s do it! Everyone in Brussels or close is invited to join us! Saturday 15 March at 3.30 pm in Place de l’Albertine in Brussels.

Bring your European flag! Porta la tua bandiera europea! Amenez votre drapeau europĂ©en ! Breng je Europese vlag mee! ΊέρτΔ ÎŒÎ±Î¶ÎŻ σας τηΜ ΕυρωπαϊÎșÎź ÏƒÎ·ÎŒÎ±ÎŻÎ±! Tuo mukaan Eurooppa-lippusi!

Trump’s return and the need for a European Federation – Lessons learned from the Draghi, Letta and Niinistö reports UEF event, Maison des Associations, Brussels, 27/11/2024

The year 2024 has been marked by three important reports from Enrico Letta (Much More Than a Market), Mario Draghi (The Future of European Competitiveness) and Sauli Niinistö (Safer together: A path towards a fully prepared Union).

In the context of the return of Donald Trump to the White House, what lessons can be learned from those reports and for the future of Europe?

Domenico Rossetti di Valdalbero from UEF.Be moderated the debate that was introduced by Catherine Vieilledent from UEF Groupe Europe.

Four speakers were intervening:  Domenec Ruiz Devesa, former MEP and President of UEF, Eric Phillipart, Sherpa for the Letta Report and Senior Expert at DG GROW, Valeria Ronzitti, Secretary General of the Services of General Interest and Luca Visentini, former Secretary General of the European Trade Union Confederation.

Among the insights on the Letta, Draghi and Niinistö reports that President von der Leyen quoted on 27/11/2024 in Strasbourg before her second Commission being approved by the European Parliament, one can remind:

  • Europe should be more united to face Russian military threat, Chinese industrial competition and US led by D. Trump from 20 January 2025;
  • 300 billion € of European savings are flying on the other side of the Atlantic (Letta). Why not creating a 28th EU stock-exchange in Europe to attract innovative companies?
  • 800 billion € of EU bonds proposed by Draghi could relaunch the investments and the (cross-border) infrastructures in our Union;
  • Security and resilience are particularly important in a cyber-threat geopolitical environment (Niinistö).

Some quotes from the UEF event:

  • Corneille is back in Europe with the ‘CID’, the Clean Industrial Deal!
  • Let’s be proud of our ‘competitiveness Ă  l’ europĂ©enne’;
  • Some ‘net-contributors to EU budget are great net winners in the Single Market’!
  • Well-being of European citizens should be the priority of new economic policy;
  • Efforts should be done in Europe to stimulate innovation and productivity gains.

A European Constitution as proposed by Altieri Spinelli 40 years ago (or at least a major Treaty reform abolishing unanimity as requested by UEF President) would allow the EU to look forward at the next decades. Stronger together!

L’AssemblĂ©e GĂ©nĂ©rale de l’UEF.be s’est tenue en prĂ©sentiel ce samedi 8 juin 2024 au Press Club Brussels Europe

AprĂšs avoir approuvĂ© les comptes pour 2023, Ă©lu le nouveau conseil d’administration et fait rapport des activitĂ©s de l’ASBL, nous avons pu Ă©couter et dĂ©battre avec le Ministre d’État et ancien DĂ©putĂ© europĂ©en GĂ©rard Deprez.

En introduction G. Deprez suggĂšre ne de pas faire une guerre de nominalisme et d’estampille sur le ‘fĂ©dĂ©ralisme europĂ©en’. Ce qui est important, ce sont les procĂ©dures et les mĂ©canismes qui permettent d’avancer vers le fĂ©dĂ©ralisme europĂ©en, direction indispensable pour Ă©viter un enlisement de l’Europe communautaire.

Il relĂšve ensuite l’environnement extĂ©rieur de l’UE qui est imprĂ©visible et dangereux (cf. guerre de la Russie en Ukraine et situation au Moyen-Orient). Cela a aussi des consĂ©quences internes, notamment les Fake News et ingĂ©rences de pays tiers qui visent Ă  dĂ©stabiliser l’Union europĂ©enne.

GĂ©rard Deprez Ă©voque ensuite les autres grands risques pour l’UE :

  • Le dĂ©crochage Ă©conomique de l’UE vis-Ă -vis des États-Unis et de la Chine ;
  • La transition Ă©nergĂ©tique qui doit ĂȘtre rendue acceptable, en particulier pour le monde agricole et une partie de la classe ouvriĂšre prĂ©carisĂ©e ;
  • La poussĂ©e de l’extrĂȘme droite dans plusieurs pays dont la France (Ă  prĂšs de 40%), l’Allemagne, l’Italie, les Pays-Bas et en Flandre ;
  • La rĂ©alitĂ© de l’immigration et de l’élargissement avec un corollaire dĂ©licat quant Ă  l’acceptation ou non de l’Ukraine et/ou de la Turquie dans l’UE ;
  • Les agressions physiques du personnel politique (cf. en Slovaquie, au Danemark et ailleurs).

G. Deprez suggĂšre deux pistes d’action vers le fĂ©dĂ©ralisme europĂ©en:

D’abord, il faut en finir avec l’unanimitĂ© qui paralyse l’intĂ©gration. Pourquoi, Ă  l’instar des « Pouvoirs spĂ©ciaux » qui existent en Belgique, ne pas permettre Ă  l’ExĂ©cutif europĂ©en (la Commission), de prendre des dispositions en cas d’urgence (cf. pandĂ©mie), pour une pĂ©riode dĂ©terminĂ©e et adoptĂ©es Ă  la majoritĂ© qualifiĂ©e ?

Ensuite, comme l’élargissement aura lieu (attention Ă  ceux qui veulent exacerber les frustrations liĂ©es aux lenteurs des adhĂ©sions), les FĂ©dĂ©ralistes europĂ©ens doivent se battre pour des ressources propres. Il faut revenir Ă  la lĂ©gitimitĂ© originelle des TraitĂ©s mais en utilisant les outils modernes : part de la TVA, taxe carbone, taxe sur les transactions financiĂšres, emprunt europĂ©en, assiette commune sur l’impĂŽt des sociĂ©tĂ©s (ACCIS), etc.

Enfin, G. Deprez insiste sur le besoin d’autonomie stratĂ©gique europĂ©enne dans les domaines de la santĂ©, la dĂ©fense et l’énergie.

Les membres de l’UEF.be interviennent ensuite, questionnent et dĂ©battent avec G. Deprez sur l’état de droit dans l’UE (cf. PrĂ©sidence hongroise), sur le rĂŽle des migrants pour l’économie europĂ©enne, sur la lĂ©gitimitĂ© dĂ©mocratique de la Commission, et sur le rĂŽle et impacts dĂ©mocratiques des mĂ©dias sociaux.

Chers Amis, Chers Membres,

Au-delĂ  des questions statutaires, nous souhaiterions que cette rĂ©union soit aussi un moment de rĂ©flexion politique. Nous avons invitĂ© Ă  cet effet le Ministre d’Etat GĂ©rard Deprez pour nous parler du thĂšme « Des pas de plus vers la fĂ©dĂ©ration europĂ©enne ? » (cf. PrĂ©sidence belge, dĂ©fense, Ă©nergie).

En espĂ©rant vous voir participer nombreux et nombreuses, merci de confirmer votre prĂ©sence par courrier Ă©lectronique, tĂ©lĂ©phone, SMS ou WhatsApp (0460.76.01.84). En cas d’empĂȘchement, merci d’avance de nous envoyer une procuration.

DEBAT UEF AVEC LES CANDIDATS AUX ELECTIONS EUROPEENNES

 

DEBAT UEF AVEC LES CANDIDATS AUX ELECTIONS EUROPEENNES

25 avril 2024 à 18h00 – Press Club Brussels Europe, 95 Rue Froissart

Participants:

– Ecolo: #3 LĂ©a Charlet

– PS: #5 Luc Hennart

– Volt Europa: #2 Arslan Jurion

– Les EngagĂ©s: #4 David Muongo

– MR : #4 Laura Hidalgo

Le débat sera modéré par Domenico Rossetti (UEF.be). Deux introductions sont prévues par Ilaria Caria (UEF) et Catherine Vieilledent (UEF Europe). Giorgio Clarotti (UEF) gÚrera les questions Internet (Slido) et sera le time keeper.

ApprÚs une brÚve introduction de chaque candidat (Pourquoi voter pour leur liste?), les questions toucheront aux points suivants :

  1. ThĂšme fĂ©dĂ©raliste: « La #CoFoE, confĂ©rence sur l’avenir de l’Europe, et le Parlement EuropĂ©en ont demandĂ© que l’UE rĂ©vise ses traitĂ©s, vieux de 15 ans, adopte une loi Ă©lectorale avec des listes transnationales et ouvre la Convention prĂ©vue Ă  ce propos par les traitĂ©s ».

->  Quelle est votre position Ă  ce sujet ? Soutenez-vous le pledge de l’UEF ? Si vous Ă©tiez Ă©lu(e), rejoindriez-vous le groupe Spinelli de dĂ©putĂ©s fĂ©dĂ©ralistes ? Quid du Spizenkandidat ?

  1. Thùme existentialiste: La guerre d’agression et ses multiples horreurs sont de retour en Ukraine qui a maintenant vocation à rentrer dans l’Union. La situation au Moyen-Orient est explosive.

->  Que pensez-vous que l’UE et le PE plus spĂ©cifiquement devraient faire pour rĂ©agir Ă  l’invasion Russe en Ukraine ? Et au Moyen-Orient ? Que peut faire un parlementaire europĂ©en et comment ?

  1. Economie et société: La transition juste et verte et la compétitivité européenne. Le European Green Deal et les initiatives industrielles récentes (Net Zero Industry Act).

-> LĂ  oĂč le PE a des compĂ©tences clĂ©s, comment ne pas opposer, sur le Green Deal, les agriculteurs aux politiciens, les citadins et les ruraux, ceux qui peuvent isoler leurs maisons et ceux qui vivent en appartements Ă  bas loyer? Faut-il, par exemple, lancer un nouvel emprunt EuropĂ©en?

 

Ensuite viendront les questions du public en présentiel et en ligne.

La JournĂ©e de l’Europe marque l’anniversaire de la DĂ©claration de Robert Schuman, ministre des affaires Ă©trangĂšres français, le 9 mai 1950. Il y propose la crĂ©ation d’une CommunautĂ© europĂ©enne du charbon et de l’acier, dont les pays membres mettraient en commun leur production de charbon et d’acier. La CECA (membres fondateurs: France, Allemagne de l’Ouest, Italie, Pays-Bas, Belgique et Luxembourg) est la premiĂšre des institutions supranationales europĂ©ennes qui donneront naissance Ă  ce qu’on appelle aujourd’hui «l’Union europĂ©enne».

Infatigable dĂ©fenseur de l’unitĂ© europĂ©enne, Robert Schuman fut celui qui posa le premier jalon de l’UE telle que nous la connaissons aujourd’hui, une organisation unique au monde rĂ©unissant 27 États membres.

Chaque annĂ©e, la fĂȘte de l’Europe est Ă©galement l’opportunitĂ© de se rassembler afin de rendre hommage aux fondateurs de l’Union europĂ©enne autour d’une cĂ©rĂ©monie organisĂ©e par l’association « Avenir de l’Europe » en collaboration avec la ReprĂ©sentation de la Commission europĂ©enne en Belgique, la Ville de Bruxelles, la Commune d’Etterbeek et de nombreuses associations europĂ©istes. Cette cĂ©rĂ©monie sera rythmĂ©e par des discours et l’hymne europĂ©en. Nous vous donnons rendez-vous le 9 mai de 10h Ă  10h30 prĂšs du Buste de Robert Schuman situĂ© Ă  l’entrĂ©e du Parc du Cinquantenaire.

La “DĂ©claration Schuman” du 9 mai 1950 est l’acte fondateur et rĂ©volutionnaire d’un nouveau projet de collaboration entre les peuples et les États europĂ©ens, qui ne repose plus sur l’hĂ©gĂ©monie de l’un sur les autres, mais sur la comprĂ©hension, la collaboration pacifique et l’Ă©galitĂ© entre eux.

C’est le dĂ©but d’une nouvelle Ă©tape de l’histoire europĂ©enne qui a permis la plus longue pĂ©riode de paix de l’histoire europĂ©enne.

AVENIR DE L’EUROPE
Brussels, Thursday 9 May 2024
74th anniversary of the “Schuman Declaration”
Ceremony to pay tribute to Jean Monnet, Robert Schuman, and the other founding fathers of a united Europe

*****

On Thursday 9 May 2024 we will celebrate the 74th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration.

The ceremony will take place in Brussels, on Thursday 9 May 2024 at 10.00am, next to the bust dedicated to Robert Schuman located at the entrance to the Cinquantenaire Park, opposite the Rue de la Loi, on the Rond-Point Schuman side.

Laying of flowers by “Avenir de l’Europe” in the presence of the public and Belgian and European authorities followed by speeches and European anthem.

*****

Europe Day marks the anniversary of the Declaration made by French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman on 9 May 1950. In it, he proposed the creation of a European Coal and Steel Community, whose member countries would pool their coal and steel production. The ECSC (founding members: France, West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg) was the first of the supranational European institutions that would give rise to what is now known as the European Union.

A tireless advocate of European unity, Robert Schuman was the man who laid the foundations of the EU as we know it today, an organisation unique in the world, bringing together 27 Member States.

Each year, Europe Day is also an opportunity to come together to pay tribute to the founders of the European Union at a ceremony organised by the ‘Avenir de l’Europe’ association in collaboration with the European Commission Representation in Belgium, the City of Brussels, the Commune of Etterbeek and numerous Europeanist associations. The ceremony will feature speeches and the European anthem. We look forward to seeing you on 9 May from 10am to 10.30am near the Robert Schuman bust at the entrance to the Parc du Cinquantenaire.

Free admission.

The “Schuman Declaration” of 9 May 1950 is the founding and revolutionary act of a new project of collaboration between the peoples and states of Europe, no longer based on the hegemony of one over the others, but on understanding, peaceful collaboration, and equality between them.

It was the beginning of a new stage in European history that allowed the longest period of peace in European history.

Political message by the UEF President, DomĂšnec Ruiz Devesa

UEF President, DomĂšnec Ruiz DevesaDear Federalist friends,

Just a few words from me before I leave you with this communication on the Congress that has just taken place.
First of all, let me thank you for the trust you have shown me by electing me as UEF President. It is an honour for me, as well as a great responsibility, because I am and feel first and foremost a federalist activist, who is currently in the institutions, but who lives the federalist commitment as his own priority, and in this sense also feels the relationship with the UEF.

These two years ahead of us will be important years to consolidate our organisation and find the right financial and administrative balance. They will be even more important politically, because they can be decisive for our Europe in taking the crucial steps towards a federal Union.

Our congress took place just three days after the approval by the European Parliament of the proposal to reform the treaties, the first one since the adoption of the Treaty of Lisbon in 2007, the first attempt at reforming the treaty in more than 15 years. We know the process that made it possible to arrive at this vote, through the Conference on the Future of Europe in which we participated directly; and we also know that it is a great opportunity, the only one today, and the first after 40 years since Altiero Spinelli’s Draft Treaty, to realise the federal Europe.

Today, therefore, while we are committed to building a broad and widespread campaign in view of the European elections, we urgently need to mobilise ourselves for the success of the next step, i.e. the decision of the European Council in favour of launching a Convention to elaborate the reform of the Treaties. We have urged the Spanish Presidency to immediately transmit the European Parliament resolution to the European Council and asked to President Charles Michel to put it in the agenda of the European Council of the 15th of December, although resistance from national governments will probably force a postponement. Here it is very important the role of the national sections to involve their national parliaments and urge the governments to be in favour of the opening of the Convention. The letter signed by me as UEF President and Sandro Gozi as Chair of the Spinelli Group has just been sent (LINK), together with the Manifesto we approved in our Congress; and here (LINK) you can find a draft resolution to propose to your national parliaments, to launch the mobilization.

We have a very important job to do. I thank you once more very much for all your work, commitment and dedication in federalism. I am convinced that we will work together with confidence and commitment over the next two years, and that together we can make a positive difference in order to meet the challenge of federal Europe. And since it’s a long process, by definition the best has always yet to come.
