Meeting between Democrazia Federale and Mr Jiri Polak
The meeting was called for the purpose of organizing steps and events required for starting the project of a European Confederation of DD Movements.
The following issues have been discussed :
1 – DD Movements
All European Movements approving our DD Charter as published in our Blog are entitled to take part into the Confederation.
The above is the only necessary condition to enter the Confederation, while the practical steps of organization and methods to reach the common objective can be different from one country to another.
2 – Newsletter
The Newsletter published in Prag by Jiri Polak is a precious resource for our projects.
It has been agreed that, starting with the next March issue, the following changes will be implemented
The Newsletter will be organized into a European section, serving as official journal for the Confederation, and an International section reporting news from DD movements around the world outside Europe.
The newsletter will be translated into the main European languages to reach a satisfactory diffusion over the whole territory of the Union.
3 – Conference in Prag
The date has been restricted to the choice between March 14 and March 21.
The main purpose of the Conference shall be the founding of the European DD Confederation, organized by the national Movements taking part.
Other Movements from countries outside Europe, or individuals not representing a Movement are invited to attend as observers.

Charter of Coalition
The main purpose of this Blog is to allow discussions among European Movements for Direct Democracy for the purpose of reaching an agreement and build up a Confederation so that, working together, they can create one common European Movement.
The above step is necessary to take part into future European elections, being understood that they will continue their political action in their own countries with their original denomination.
In order to accomplish the above work it appears necessary to agree on a common Charter, where the necessary pre-requisites of each Movement are listed in order to build up the desired Coalition on common grounds.
It is the common desire of the three founding members to reach such agreement in short times.
Therefore we propose that a list of prerequisites is defined as the content of the above Charter.
Once such agreement is reached, additional Movements willing to be associated into the Coalition must declare to accept the ideas and the rules of the Coalition.
We propose the following definitions are agreed :
1 - Direct Democracy
2 - People interest and people will
3 - Relationship between people power and executive power
4 - Charter Rules
We recommend that the above basic ideas be expressed in a complete albeit concise way, so that the writing of a Charter is completed in the shortest possible time.
On the above matter we wait for comments and proposals.

Here we go
The IRI Congress in Aarau has allowed a group of European movements working for Direct Democracy in Europe to make contacts and discuss their ideas.
Some of the Movements, while considering with great rispect the theoretical work of Universities and think-tanks in order to introduce elements of Direct Democracy within the existing Constitutions, do not believe this kind of work will grant any significant results in a realistic time, and want to start immediate political action taking part into coming European elections.
The Movements have decided to co-ordinate their action on the European scale, with the aim to create one only Movement active all over the Union.
The only purpose of this blog is to make available in English writings coming from the national blogs in other languages so that matters of general interest can be discussed within an extended circle.
Come back in short for further news.
