THE TRANSNATIONAL'S GROWTH TOWARDS THE CREATION OF A TRANSPARTY

by Olivier Dupuis

Our 37th Congress has just ended. A Congress which, despite being organized

without sufficient funds, was characterized by a significant level of

presence and participation, and by speeches of a quality never achieved in

the past. For the first time, most of these speeches focused on the

question of the survival and development of the Radical Party.

The Congress was able, with lucid objectivity, to measure the steps taken,

important though still insufficient, to achieve the goals set by the Sofia

motion: anti-prohibitionism on drugs, the establishment of an international

moratorium on executions by the year 2000, the establishment of a permanent

international criminal jurisdiction, the promotion of an international

language, and support for environmental reforms in the ex-Soviet empire.

These five initiatives were confirmed by the Congress, which also added a

project to organize a great world Satyagraha for the freedom and liberation

of Tibet.

The tragic events which have taken place or are still in progress in the

former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Chechnya, Tibet, China, Burundi, and other

places around the world, confirm the decision of those who, with their

membership, militant and financial support, have chosen to create the

first, and so far the only, transnational and transdivisional party. A

party that is still the only concrete alternative with its analyses and

political proposals, to the various forms of demagogy and passive

resignation, whether organized or not.

As this conviction became stronger during the Congress, so did the

conviction that the Party as it stands is still weak, in terms of size and

of organization, and above all in terms of its financial and economic

situation.

To fill the gap between our ambitions and our strength, the Congress

entrusted the President, the Secretary and the Treasurer with its statutory

powers, with the task of reorganizing the Radical Party and preparing the

grounds for its refoundation. A task which will involve drastic reductions

in expenditure, the reorganization of our activities in the various

countries, the gradual transfer of essential services for the functioning

of the Radical Party from Rome to Brussels, a new type of relationship with

the associations and federate bodies and, above all, the search for new

human and financial resources.

It is a difficult task indeed, but we are sure that it can be accomplished

if the parliamentarians (and here lies the "transparty"!) and the activists

who are already members, or those who join in the future, take on new

responsibilities, like our new President Jean-Franois Hory.

We must now roll up our sleeves and waste no time. We must do what we have

always done and, with the help of our imagination, what we have never done

in order to give renewed strength to our party: the only party built on the

direct enrollment of militants and parliamentarians, the party of organized

nonviolence.

Enjoy your work!
