This is a long article published in the weekly magazine il Venerdi di La Repubblica last week (see pdf below) the role of the european federalists in the history of the European Integration process.

The author, Daniele Castellani Perelli, made this report (in particular with long interviews with Luisa Trumellini, Anna Costa, Alberto Majoicchi, Piervigilio Dastoli) to recount how a movement as small as ours has been instrumental in the realisation of the EU as we know it today and the 'battles won, lost or still to be fought'.

FOCUS EUROPA is a political debate in italian hosted by La Miniera di Ivan Grieco organized with Movimento Federalista Europeo (UEF Italy), which in the year of the European elections will focus on the debate that the various political factions are conducting on the theme of the future of Europe and the will to continue with the reform path undertaken by the European Parliament in this legislature.

The third guests are the Bruno Tabacci, MP of CENTRO DEMOCRATICO and VP of UEF Giulia Rossolillo and the staff of La Miniera on the topic 'The future of Europe and the institutional reforms'.

The Union of European Federalists, the Association Jean Monnet, the Spinelli Group of the European Parliament, and the Young European Federalists have reconstituted the Action Committee for the United States of Europe established by Jean Monnet in 1955, with a view of advancing the vision for a federal Europe with the support of a network of personalities from all walks of life (intellectuals, writers, journalists, artists, entrepreneurs, former policymakers, etc.).

The partners of the Action Committee proposed a number of concrete steps in a Manifesto in view of the 2024 European elections:

a) A call to citizens to participate in these crucial elections and to support pro-European political parties in order to preserve the pro-EU majority in the European Parliament;

b) A call to European political parties to encourage a pan-European debate and to make their support to the next Commission conditional on the presidential candidate´s commitment to support Parliament´s proposal to reform the Treaties in a federal direction;

c) A call to the European Council to act on the said Parliament´s proposed amendments to the Treaties.

Debate with the French Candidates EE2024

The European Letter is back and it is dedicated to theme of the defense.

"The threat to European security posed by Russian imperialism is forcing Europeans to face the question of the need to equip themselves with a common defence, to become capable of protecting themselves.
The European Letter wants to contribute to this debate by explaining that a true European defence is not credible unless there are those transfers of sovereignty at the European level to give endow the Union with its true autonomy of government, not only by freeing itself from the vetoes and blackmail of the member states, but also by creating the conditions for expressing a genuine European general interest."

The European Letter is published in 7 languages - from the edition 77 - under the auspices of the Luciano Bolis European Foundation in cooperation with the Union of European Federalists.

The European Letter is a periodical publication started in 1997 with the aim of stimulating political debate in national parliaments and governments, and in the European Parliament.

The European Letter 78 entitled "Building a true European defence requires a thorough reform of the Treaties", is sent to parliamentarians in the following legislative bodies:

• European Parliament
• Bundestag
• Parliament of the French Republic
• Parliament of the Italian Republic
• Cortes generales (Spanish Parliament)
