Political Commissions Test

In the UEF Political Commissions of the Federal Committee for the years 2024-2025, it is  possible to deepen the topics related to the process of European unification, and to the great challenges that our societies are facing in this new phase of international politics, in the fields of economy, security, environment, defense of rights and democracy.

The PCs will work extensively online, so each FC member will also be able to subscribe to several PCs, if he or she is interested in the topics being discussed.

Below is a short description of each PC, prepared by the Chairs. At the bottom there is a button for registering for the various Commissions. It will then be the responsibility of the UEF Secretariat to maintain the mailing lists of each PC, to promote the circulation of documents and internal debate. However, the online meetings will always be open and publicly announced.
