May 9 - Shake The Summit
May 9 - Shake The Summit
European May organised alternative citizen summits in Amsterdam, Warsaw, Paris, Berlin and Mainz.
On May 9th 2019, EU leaders will draw the outlines of the “Future of Europe” during a summit in Sibiu. Despite ever more urgent calls for constitutional assemblies, our leaders have failed to involve the people of Europe in this process. Treating Europe as an elite issue, however, will not solve the current crisis of integration. “Europe Day” 2019 is our chance to show that European civil society is ready.
Let’s show European leaders that transnational democracy is alive ! Let’s show them that people’s assemblies are already a reality! Let’s reclaim the agenda! European May will do this by organising Alternative Assemblies where the people will be heard who normally aren’t.
