EUROPEAN UNION WINS PRINCESS OF ASTURIAS AWARD WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE EUROPEAN FEDERALISTS

Today the European Union has been awarded the Princess of Asturia Prize for its contribution to concord and peace in Europe and throughout the world. The European Federalists have been vocal supporters of the award.

Elmar Brok MEP, President of the Union of European Federalists, has endorsed the nomination of the European Union for the Princess of Asturias Award for its innovative contribution to European peace and its global role. Other key supporters of the European Union’s nominations were the Spanish Members of the European Parliament Enrique Calvet Chambon and Jonás Fernández, both members of the Union of European Federalists organisation in Spain.

While this Prize represents a recognition of the European Union’s past achievements, it’s also and above all a reminder of its not yet fully realized promises of unity, democracy and promotion of peace and stability around the globe. The European Union will be able to fully achieve these goals only if it completes its political union towards a true federation.
