About the European Federal Union

The European Federal Union is the first All-European political Party; it was formed in 1974 and refounded in 2005. Its main objective is a united Europe on a federal basis as part of a future world federation of the peoples. The EFU strives for a political social and cultural renaissance of Europe in accordance with the principles of Federalism, with a view to attaining a "Europe of the Peoples and Regions." It rejects the present form of a united Europe, as manifested in the European Union, as being both inadequate and undemocratic and calls for aconvocation of a European constituent assembly, to work out and prepare a new and truly federalist constitution for Europe, with a Federal Chamber, a Regional Chamber, and an Economic and Social Council, as legislative corporate bodies. A European Court will watch over the inviolability of basic and human rights. The European Federation of Peoples will only be responsible for foreign policy, security, finance and skeleton bills on matters of economic, research and environmental protection.

The Regions and peoples, according to the programme of the EFU, have their own legislation, jurisdiction and government. They should have the right to levy taxes and exercise power over economy, police matters,culture and education, including higher education. In order torender the formation of a regional structure, which will meet the demands of ethnic groups and minorities, possible, the EFU also demands the right of self-determination for national and regional groups. The Regions and Peoples should form a Cultural Council based on communities with a common language and national identity of former nationstates and cultural communities.
