Program of the Citizens for Change Movement: The Vision of the United States of Europe
The Vision:
Citizens for Change envisions a Europe that is no longer fragmented but united under the banner of a Federal Union of States, forming the United States of Europe.
We are determined to establish the United States of Europe, a political federation where:
- Member states retain their cultural and historical identities while sharing sovereignty on critical matters.
- A European President, elected directly by the citizens of Europe, represents and leads a united continent.
- Decision-making is transparent, democratic, and oriented toward the collective good.
A Stronger Europe for a Better World
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has demonstrated the weaknesses of a divided Europe. Citizens for Change believes that a unified Europe would not only have prevented such a conflict but would also ensure security, stability, and prosperity across the continent. Together, we can become a true global power, capable of defending human rights, fostering innovation, and promoting sustainable development.
