Cari Amici e care Amiche,
In vista della riunione della Direzione nazionale e del dibattito in Segreteria aperta di sabato, vi mando le tesi pre-congressuali e la bozza di mozione di politica generale. Vi incollo inoltre il link per il collegamento zoom, che permette di seguire i lavori della DN al mattino e partecipare attivamente alla Segreteria nel pomeriggio. Il link è lo stesso per entrambe le riunioni. Vi allego ancora anche la convocazione, per ricordarvi gli orari.
Colgo l’occasione per inoltrarvi anche il comunicato stampa, già inviato alle liste, con i riferimenti all’iniziativa Project 27 lanciata dal Gruppo Spinelli con l’UEF per sostenere la continuazione della battaglia per la riforma dei Trattati e la Convenzione all’interno del Parlamento europeo e per costruire un fronte comune con la Commissione europea.
Anche le altre sezioni nazionali dell’UEF stanno reagendo con forza, rivendicando l’urgenza di una riforma federale dell’UE a fronte dell’insediamento di Trump alla Casa Bianca; nei prossimi giorni l’UEF condividerà un lavoro comune su questo, partito da un forte appello dell’UEF Francia.Il fronte federalista reagisce quindi in modo unitario e fronte in questa situazione pericolosissima per l’Europa e il mondo.
Dandovi appuntamento a sabato vi saluto cordialmente,
Luisa Trumellini

PROJECT 27
On Tuesday, January 21, 2025, the Spinelli Group, represented by its President Lukas Mandl (EPP) and board members Gabriele Bischoff (S&D), Daniel Freund (Greens/EFA), Nikolaos Farantouris (Left), and Sandro Gozi (Renew Europe), held a press conference to present their ambitious initiative, Project 27.
This project underscores the Spinelli Group’s commitment, as the European Federalist Movement within the European Parliament, to reshape the European Union through treaty reform across all 27 Member States by 2027. The reform process is rooted in the establishment of a European Convention, as outlined in Article 48 of the Treaty on European Union, aiming to address citizens' demands for a more efficient and responsive Union.
As Lukas Mandl declared: “If we want to respond to the call of the citizens for the reform of the EU, if we want to contribute to a prosper and proper future of the European Union and our very continent, we have to thrive for a treaty reform.”
Gabriele Bischoff warned: "If Europe cannot act fast, bold, and as united as possible, it will face very difficult times."
Key Objectives of Project 27
As Daniel Freund stressed “We don't want to waste too much time on missed opportunities but say we really need to take the opportunity now.” During the press conference, the board highlighted several ambitious priorities, including:
- Reshaping Decision-Making: Reducing the unanimity principle to allow for faster, stronger, and more consistent decision-making.
- Strengthening Security: Elevating European security capabilities in a manner complementary to NATO.
- Economic Resilience: Enhancing regulation, fostering strategic investments, promoting education, nurturing innovation, and tackling demographic challenges to build a robust workforce.
- Support for Ukraine: Ensuring sustained military and financial support for Ukraine and involving EU actors in reconstruction efforts.
- Democratic Advancement: Developing and reinforcing European democratic structures.
- Readiness for Enlargement: Preparing the European Union for the accession of new Member States.
Moving Forward
This week, on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, the Spinelli Group board members convened in Strasbourg to further refine the guidelines of this transformative project and discuss the group's next steps and initiatives.
Sandro Gozi expressed hope: "Representatives from five political groups, who may disagree on many issues, are united in pushing for European Union reform."
Nikolas Farantouris urged "The Council and the Commission to take steps now and fast towards treaty reform, common policies, and at the end of the day, a common foreign policy.”
