In course of our DDEV meeting in Prag on March 5, 2010 we have had as a guest John Radek and Kristina Koci, the leader and a leading officer of Veci Verejne, a new political Movement in the Czech Republic.
Veci Verejne ( Public affairs ) is a party fostering Direct Democracy, and after some years of hard work has become popular in the Czech Republic where most of the citizens are disgusted from the corruption of the political parties which have run the post-comunist era governments.
Yesterday, Saturday May 29, the results in the nation-wide polls gave Veci Verejne an astonishing 10,9%.
It never happened that a new political movement could get such a wonderful result : we consider that the concept of Direct Democracy has offered to many Czech citizens the hope to overcome the present miserable situation.
We wish John Radek all the best, and will propose to the DDEV European Committe to offer him to lead the Direct Democrats in the Czech Republic !!!

PRESS RELEASE
The discourses of the Conference held by direct Democracy Movements of Europe, that took place in the Czech Republic, which is appointed with the Presidency of the European Union, at the beginning of the vernal equinox, symbolizing the basic democratic principles of the equality of rights, the equality before the law and the equality of speech, were completed successfully today, establishing a Resolution for the foundation of a Political Action Network, at a European level, called:
“Direct Democracy Euro – Vision”,
which was given a relative logo for the purpose of its possible use in the upcoming European Parliament Elections of June 7, 2009.
Noteworthy is the decision to ask the European citizens, through a Pan – European Referendum, to decline the acceptance of new member – states within the European Union, until the integration of the existing ones is completed, excluding the future acceptance of Russia, which will take place after the direct establishment of a specific financial relationship between Russia and the European Union.
The people of Russia should also accept, through a Referendum, such a prospect and the “direct Democratic Euro – Vision” will undertake the initiative to broaden this idea and its perspectives in both sides soon.
