The future risks being a provocation to democracy. Democracy is not only set in motion by parliamentary institutions, but also by society. Its basic principle is the defence of minorities. Democracy does not exist by itself - it cannot be limited to a single group or country - it is a transnational issue which cannot be halted by any frontier.

Europe needs - transnational - democracy which relies on the principle of the volontary and egalitarian federalism of various groups and societies. Each of them must negotiate separately the conditions of its own participation in the Federation. This does not mean only the Italians, Belgians, Hungarians, Portuguese or Polish, but also the Lithuanians, the Ukrainians, and all the other European peoples. The necessary condition to institute this European Federation is the immediate implementation of full economic, cultural, social and political freedom for each individual.

Federalism should not be understood as a federation of States but rather as a federation of peoples.

This is the only true definition of federalism.

Europe must solve its own problems within the transnational and trans-state dimension, starting with equal rights for everyone. This is the only way we shall be able to solve the current problems of the world in the future.
