UEF Political Commissions

The UEF Political Commissions of the Federal Committee for the years 2026-2028, as approved in Barcelona in March 2026, enable 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.

These political working groups come together to work on federalist answers to current challenges in the fields of institutions, democracy, economy, foreign policy and security, environment, health, education, culture, technology, migration and social justice.

The PCs will work extensively online, so each FC member will also be able to subscribe to several PCs, if they are 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.
