Newropeans as
Europe’s
first political transnational
movement was formally launched
in June 2005. Since then, Newropeans
is ready to accept members
who wish to help us in our
work for
the democratisation of the
European Union.
Newropeans will stand for the
European elections in 2009. As
an entirely new citizens’ movement
with limited access to funding
and the traditional mass media,
the key to our electoral success
is to have a maximum of highly
motivated members and supporters
who will then ensure Newropeans’ presence
throughout the European Union.
It is only together that we can
win the 10 to 20 million expected
votes in 27 countries in June
2009.
The fact that members of Newropeans
are out there to speak directly
to the European citizens, proposing
an innovative vision of Europe’s
democratic future, will show
that the EU is a too important
thing to be left only in the
hands of national political parties.
Therefore it is Newropeans’ prime
objective this year to lay the
foundations for an organisation
which will then be capable to
welcome in its network tens of
thousands of European citizens
from all EU nationalities and
languages. If we fail in this,
we will not succeed in 2009.
And as you may imagine, this
is a major endeavour, something
no other democratic political
organization ever succeeded before.
Our task in the years 2006/2007
is to build a team of 1.000 Newropeans
who are very competent and motivated
and will build and organise the
strong and efficient network
we need at the trans-European
level. In the following year,
more emphasis will be put on
creating regional, local and
sectoral groups, around the core
of the organisation built in
the first year. The objective
then is to grow from 1.000 to
10.000 members by June 2007.
These regional, local and sectoral
groups will be key in winning
100.000 supporters for Newropeans
by June 2008. This large citizen’s
force will help reaching out
personally some 1 million Europeans
by June 2009, the best way for
Newropeans to then convince more
than 10 million voters to make
the double choice of Europe and
Democracy.
At the moment, Newropeans is
seeking members who wish to help
us build and shape the movement.
For instance, we seek support
in the following fields:
-
IT expertise
-
Writing
and editing of documents,
articles etc.
-

and interpretation
-
Organisation
(events, conferences)
-
