Welcome to the European Republic

Idea

The European Republic is a EUtopia (Greek εὖ "good" or "well" and τόπος "place") for a democratic future in Europe:  A republic where all European citizens enjoy political equality. The common good, res publica, is the guiding principle of our proposal for a future European community.

Though this vision is utopian in times of constant crisis, our goal is to open the debate beyond the current public discourse  trapped between technocratic vocabulary and harsh rhetoric of growing nationalist movements. We want to discuss real alternatives.

There is a Plan B for Europe – The European Republic. We are convinced, our continent can transform into a post-national, truly democratic, just, and fair place. It needs us, the citizens of Europe, to reach this goal. All generations and experiences are needed in this endeavor! So talk to your friends! Debate alternative ideas for the future of European politics, its economy, and our shared society.

Why do we need it?

Systems theory tells us that systems, once they have surpassed a certain level of complexity, are unable to renew themselves. The EU has long surpassed this point and is, or so it seems, far removed from the European citizens.

National interests and lack of a genuine European democracy have too long stood in the way of the realization of a European common good. Unlike the nation state, the republic has been an important guiding principle in European political thought for thousands of years and thus offers a real chance to bring together our common legacy in a new political project.

The European project could fall apart and ultimately cease to exist. It is essential to mobilize forward-thinking Europeans with a common goal and a clear idea for a democratic union.

In a republic, all sovereignty emanates from the people!
