Sovereignty of States hinders the improvement of Europe
The Spinelli Group, acting to transform the community into a national state, presented a proposal for a Manifest for national Europe. According to the president of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsoli was inspired by the Manifesto of Ventotene. The invitation to the solemn handover of the Manifesto Proposal to the national Europe is simply a symbolic step towards a clear outline of the Liberal-Left Grouping Initiative to change the future of the European Union towards federalisation. The proposals presented are applicable in the context of a study on road changes. The study recommends that a improvement of the European Union be carried out in conjunction with the accession of the fresh countries, while identifying different paths to accomplish this objective.
The Manifesto of Ventotene was published in 1941. Its main author is Altiero Spinelli – a associate of the Italian Communist Party. paper contains requests in the area of the improvement of the European Union, bringing it into a federation of states. According to the authors of the Manifesto, “real democracy will only bring about the dictatorship of the revolutionary party.” First of all, a "strong" national government is to be appointed and the Union is to be authorised to act wherever "national states fail". Supporters of this explanation request the creation of a common monetary and political union, as well as the establishment of an EU army. Furthermore, the Manifesto envisages making the European Commission a supranational executive body controlled by the European Parliament, whose Members would be partially elected in the associate States and partially on the basis of an EU-wide list. The Manifesto besides states that the European Council is to act as a "second chamber" in the process of EU lawmaking.
The current Manifest proposal for national Europe: Sovereign, Social and Ecological is composed of a preamble and 4 departments that describe changes that have already occurred and which should be implemented so that a national Europe strategy is introduced. According to the document, federalism is to be based on criticism of the absolute sovereignty of national states. According to his assumptions, as humans, we are to focus primarily on peace, freedom and dignified life. In order to accomplish specified a condition, people must decision towards a transnational arrangement. The paper clearly states that nationalism hinders the building of a national Europe. What exists present in Europe, the strategy created in 1919 by the League of Nations, did not defend Europe from planet War II, it is imperfect, and so something fresh must be created – something that will be above nations. The Federalism proposed by Spinelli and copied in the proposed Manifesto is, according to the authors, even beneficial for Europe as a whole, its unity and sovereignty. The authors of the paper make it clear that federalism functions as a borderless democracy. In their opinion, boundaries are just an arbitrary division resulting from history. That is why the authors are so determined to prosecute a single abroad policy and a common army. Federalism through its structure is intended to reduce the hazard of external interference. Only through this approach will the common abroad and defence policy, and at the same time EU security, aid in sovereignty, self-sufficiency, energy and technology.
The Manifesto stresses how much has been achieved towards the federalism of Europe: customs barriers have been abolished, allowing the free movement of workers and goods, citizens straight elect a parliamentary body and there is simply a common currency in 19 of the 27 associate States. National monopolys were broken by competition policy. The EU has introduced rules on collective bargaining and working time at EU level. Broad consumer and environmental protection has besides been developed.
What the Union inactive needs to do is an issue of global policy and armed forces. The Union must focus on ensuring that abroad policy is not only developed by the associate States, but besides on taking account of the greater function of the advanced typical and approved by the Council under Parliament's control. Policies on voting should besides be amended to deprive associate States of veto rights.
Migration to address demographic problems
The paper besides stresses the importance of social policy, which must be harmonised in national Europe. Social safety will only be ensured if the issue of discrimination against women and equality which has not yet been implemented by all countries is resolved. In addition, associate States have not introduced a welfare policy, have not modernised social policies, discrimination, exclusion of LGBT people and cultural minorities. The origin of specified failure is to be nationalism and populism, which allegedly caused the building of walls.
In the following chapters of the Manifesto we can read about environmental policy, global warming and wellness and migration issues. The authors agree with the date of the demographic winter that will affect Europe. In this spirit migration should be accepted as it will let demographic regeneration. Citizens must be gradually made aware that we are a global human society, where the cultural, social and even genetic aspects will benefit us all. The last crucial issue in this paper is digitalisation and the desire for the planet to merge in real time and in this way to prevail over inequality.
Federal plans for Eurocrats
The European Parliament held a solemn handover of the Manifesto Proposal for national Europe developed by the Spinelle Group. The gathering was inaugurated by the speech of EP president Roberta Metsola, who clearly stressed that the European Union must follow and adapt to changes in the world. During the gathering there was a symbolic signing of Manifesto by the Vice-President of the Union of the European Federalists Domènec Ruiz Deves. In his speech, he stated that the Spinelli Group was working to make the Manifesto of Ventotene a reality and bring them into line with today's realities. He besides raised the question of the future of work in the European Parliament on a fresh study on the revision of the Treaties.
MEP Danuta Hubner stressed that the Spinelle Manifesto Group's approach to the current challenges and threats facing the European Union and its associate States in the face of the global planet is being adapted by the Manifesto of Ventotene. The MEP Fabio Massimo Castaldo addressed Roberta Metsoli with a peculiar thanks for his presence with the EP president. He stressed the crucial function of the Conference on the Future of Europe, which represents an crucial step towards change. He besides raised the issue of solidarity on migration to Europe and the introduction of a national budget. In turn, according to Euro MP Daniel Freund, until 2 years ago, most associate States did not consider the real anticipation of convening a Convention on the revision of the Treaties, but that today, this view is changing and that almost half of the countries are ready to open specified a Convention.
Finally, Guy Verhofstadt gave his speech, which he stated. that the Spinnell Group's activities are aimed at continuing Altiero Spinelli's federalisation heritage. He besides stressed the importance of the Report, presented to the Committee on Constitutional Affairs of the European Parliament (AFCO), which was voted on tomorrow.
None of the speeches of the Euro MPs refers to LGBT issues or abortions. The omission of these "values", which are so fiercely fought by influential currents in the EU, is simply a deliberate measurement and aims to bring as many allies as possible to the EU federalisation. There are presently 2 competitive models of European integration. The first, based on the Treaty of Rome, refers to the legacy of Schuman, Adenauer and Pope Pius XII and acknowledges European integration as a model of global cooperation. The second, increasingly essential and based on the Spinelli model, focuses on the federalisation of the countries that form the European Union, until the creation of the "United States of Europe" with the common government.
