Statement by Gabi Zimmer, President of the GUE/NGL

This is not the Europe that was designed long ago by its founding fathers as an area of freedom, peace, democracy, human rights and the welfare state.

European Citizens' Initiative

Meeting at the now-traditional Salzburg experts’ conference “European Citizens’ Initiative Summit”, participants took stock of the state of the new European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) right. Since April 1, this new right enables European citizens to propose European law if they manage to gather one million signatures for it. Nevertheless, it is still far from sure, whether or not the new initiative right can measure up to expectations because bureaucratic and financial hurdles might prove too high.
