We apeal to the citizens of the EU Member States as well as to citizens of non member states asking them to take a think about the current situation in Europe.

For decades we have seen discussions on how to reform the European Union and how to deal with its democratic deficit. However, no one has ever presented a concrete plan on returning the European continent back to democracy. It’s more and more clear the current shape of integration does not work.

On top of that, the European integration project invented by Jean Monnet is an unproven experiment. According to experience and political theories it cannot function on a long term basis. It is not possible to build a solid structure on unstable foundations.

The European Union discounts opinions of people. Instead it claims: “We know what is good for you and we will order it to you!” It is an absolute denial of traditional European values which generations of our ancesters fought for. Among the best traditions of Europe there were plurality instead of unification, free choice, fair competition, balance of power, and a respect to sovereignty.

For decades we have seen discussions on how to reform the European Union and how to deal with its democratic deficit. However, no one has ever presented a concrete plan on returning the European continent back to democracy. It’s more and more clear the current shape of integration does not work.

There is no proposal how to reform the European Union towards a democratic settlement and actually such solution cannot even exist. Therefore, we present a plan on an immediate solution of the democratic deficit. It enables us to keep every positive aspect of existing cooperation and at the same time to begin extensive deregulation.

In this text called THERE ARE OTHER WAYS we have explained in detail the reasons for the new shape of European cooperation and the possibilities which we have.

Certainly, there exist a number of other alternative models. In the frame of this all-European initiative we submit one of them as a starting point for the discussion. It is a working document. We anticipate several conferences looking for an alternative and we wish collect topics and ideas to build up common program.

Thus, we ask everyone who is concerned about the freedom and democracy in Europe to unite around a common goal – to restore the democratic order. And this means to start a public discussion on an alternative to the current model of integration. We are looking for an alternative for Europe.
