(FB - 1998)
"The European project is not a dream, but a hope. It is rooted in rationality, which is not the case with dreams. We Europeans have seen our dreams end in nightmares too often not to be suspicious."
(FB - 2005)
"The strength of a network is judged at the information level of the weakest link, or more precisely the link furthest from the centre of the network."

"Every state is a minority in the EU. In any case, let’s not forget that if all our states went into building the EU it is because they all felt too small to face alone both their future and the rest of the world."
(FB - 2003)
"From a single (EU) Currency to a single (EU) Citizenship. The euro is only an instrument."

#CitizensRoute73 – Démocratiser l’Europe: la réponse de Paul Magnette à Thomas Piketty

/ / By

Dans une tribune du 14 juin publiée par Alternatives Economiques, Démocratiser l’Europe: Paul Magnette répond à Thomas Piketty, le ministre-président de la Wallonie1, répond au projet Pour un traité de démocratisation de l’Europe (éditions du Seuil) co-écrit par Thomas Piketty, Stéphanie Hennette et Antoine Vauchez et Guillaume Sacriste.

Paul Magnette et Guillaume Sacriste

Guillaume Sacriste, est l’un des intervenants sur l’événement #CitizensRoute73 – Processus citoyen de Démocratisation de l’UE, organisé les 1 et 2 juillet à Louvain-la-Neuve en Wallonie dans le cadre du panel Intellectuels et activistes: Changer l’Europe, oui ! Mais comment?.

Il présentera notamment ce projet de traité, T-dem (pour traité de démocratisation), qui propose de soutenir le processus de démocratisation nécessaire de l’Europe par le renforcement de la cohésion socio-économique de la zone euro, et l’institution d’un parlement de la zone Euro.

Paul Magnette répond en dix points à ce projet de traité. Il soutient la proposition de démocratisation présentée dans l’ouvrage de Piketty/Sacriste…: « La voie du « traité modificatif » proposée par les auteurs du T-Dem est la seule possible actuellement ». Cependant, il précise que « D’autres pistes de démocratisation de l’Union ne doivent pas être négligées ».

Malheureusement pour des questions d’agenda, Paul Magnette, qui avait été invité comme intervenant d’honneur, ne pourra pas être présent sur cet événement. Mais, dans cette réponse qu’il donne à une personne qui sera elle représentée au cours de ces deux journées, il nous fait partager sa vision sur la nécessité de changer l’Europe et répond aux deux questions mises en débat dans le cadre des deux premiers panels « Changer l’Europe, oui! Mais « pour quoi ? » et « comment ? ». Il nous confirme aussi l’importance des enjeux de notre initiative commune. Un soutien que nous apprécions et qui nous encourage sur cette #CitizensRoute73.

La #CitizensRoute73, Processus Citoyen de Démocratisation de l’UE, démarre les 1 et 2 juillet prochain à Louvain-la-Neuve, en Wallonie. Les débats et les présentations porteront essentiellement sur le partage de projets et visions politiques, mais aussi des méthodes et des outils communs à définir pour la démocratisation de l’Europe. Les journées de Louvain-la-Neuve, et celles qui suivront à l’horizon des élections européennes 2019, s’adressent aux citoyens en Europe et aux relais de la société civile européenne, appelant les agents du changement au partage des responsabilités démocratiques dans le cadre du processus citoyen de démocratisation de l’Europe.

Rendez-vous à Louvain-la-Neuve les 1 et 2 juillet 2017: il est encore temps de vous inscrire ICI !

1Rappelons que la Wallonie (région francophone du sud de la Belgique) avait mis son véto en octobre 2016 à la signature du CETA, traité de libre-échange avec le Canada. Le 14 octobre 2016, Paul Magnette déclarait : « pourquoi des années de discussion dans le secret si le contenu est bon pour les PME, les agriculteurs, les services publics ? Si c’était le cas, les discussions se feraient dans la transparence. C’est ce que nous réclamons : une nouvelle méthode de travail qui vaudra pour l’ensemble des négociations bilatérales à l’avenir. » – Source : Le Soir
