There is a clear and undisputed risk of democratic backsliding throughout
Europe. The urgency to make European democracy more resilient, impactful, and
accessible cannot be overstated. While a number of steps have been taken to
engage citizens in the EU, existing participation mechanisms and instruments
need to be reinforced.

European democracy can only gain real strength through inclusive, omnipresent
and qualitative citizen participation. The Conference on the Future of Europe
laid the groundwork for a citizens-centered reform of the EU, but fundamental
democratic reforms must persist if the EU is to meet the needs and challenges of
today.



EU citizens: write to your candidates to urge them to pledge for democracy.

I PLEDGE TO…

 * empower the European Parliament to be an advocate for citizen participation
   processes supported inter-institutionally, engaging parliaments of the Member
   States where needed.
 * advocate to strengthen the existing democratic instruments the EU has to
   engage its citizens, such as the European Citizens’ Initiative and the
   European Citizens’ Panels, to give them a greater political impact on EU
   policy-making
 * give the European Parliament a leading role as a standard bearer for the use
   of strong international quality standards and sufficient resources for
   citizen participation processes
 * support the establishment of the first-ever parliamentary intergroup on
   European democracy for the 2024-2029 mandate, recognizing its role as a
   platform for collaborative dialogue and addressing the aforementioned
   proposals

By signing this pledge, I commit to taking a leadership role in the democratic
reform of the EU, actively working towards a more responsive, inclusive, and
citizen-centred European democracy.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. WHAT IS THE DEMOCRATIC WAVE?

For a Democratic Wave is a campaign in the runup to the 2024 European
Parliamentary elections initiated by Democracy International and Federation for
Innovation in Democracy – Europe (FIDE). FIDE specializes in implementing
deliberative democratic methods, particularly Citizens’ Assemblies, to deeply
involve citizens in policymaking and assists in all stages of the process, from
planning to evaluation, to ensure informed, inclusive, and effective citizen
engagement in shaping policy solutions. Democracy International is an NGO
supporting democratic initiatives, activists, and policymakers worldwide by
providing expertise and promoting transnational direct and participatory
democracy to empower citizens and enhance accountability in political
decision-making processes.

2. WHAT DO WE WANT TO ACHIEVE

We aim to empower citizens and enhance their influence over the future of
Europe. To achieve this, we advocate for involving citizens in a credible and
proactive manner to strengthen and improve democratic participation within the
European Union. This is why we propose the strengthening of democratic
instruments and mechanisms, inter alia, randomly selected citizens’ assemblies
focused on shaping the democratic future of Europe and bottom-up direct
democracy instruments.

3. WHY DO WE WANT STRONGER CITIZEN'S PARTICIPATION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION?

The European Union can only survive and be a source of peace, justice, and
prosperity on our planet if citizens take full ownership of it. Citizens can
only develop this sense of ownership if they are given a hand and a say in
shaping the future of the European project. Additionally, citizen participation
cannot remain limited to specific policy areas, but must concern the very
democratic structure and functioning of the European Union, as this provides the
foundation and operational framework for all other political activities of and
within the European Union.

4. WHY DO WE ADDRESS CANDIDATE MEMBERS OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT?

The European Parliament is the world’s first and only directly elected
supranational institution, which gives it a special responsibility. Even if the
European Parliament does not have the formal competence to enforce a fundamental
democratic reform on its own, it has the democratic legitimacy and the political
duty to lead the way in advocating for a credible democratic reform process and
better implementation of democratic tools and mechanisms.

5. WHY NOW?

The European Union is at a pivotal moment, shaped by recent challenges and key
events like the 2019 elections and the Conference on the Future of Europe
(CoFoE). To counter growing anti-democratic forces, we must seize upon CoFoE’s
momentum to deepen citizen engagement in EU decision-making and fortify our
democratic foundations. Strengthening EU democracy is essential to safeguarding
our values of inclusivity and transparency against internal and external
threats.

6. WHY DO WE CALL FOR A STRONGER EUROPEAN CITIZENS’ INITIATIVE?

The European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) stands as the world’s first and only
instrument of transnational participatory democracy. We call for a stronger ECI
because it serves as the only bottom-up mechanism of participatory democracy in
the EU. Despite a surge of successful initiatives, the political impact of ECIs
unfortunately remains limited. To truly empower citizens and elevate their
concerns to the EU level, a stronger ECI with enhanced political impact is
imperative, ensuring citizens have a genuine opportunity to shape EU policies
and decisions.

7. HOW DO WE WANT THE EUROPEAN CITIZENS’ INITIATIVE TO DEVELOP?

A proposal to convene a new EU Convention during the 2024-2029 EP mandate aims
to amend EU treaties and strengthen EU democracy, including, for example
introducing EU-wide referendums. This transformation could elevate the ECI into
a genuine citizens’ right of initiative with the possibility to allow all
citizens of the EU to have a say on the matter.

8. HOW DO WE WANT EUROPEAN CITIZENS’ PANELS TO BE FOLLOWED UPON?

In order for this process to have credibility and for citizens to feel taken
seriously, citizens’ recommendations need to be promptly and publicly discussed
and responded to by all relevant political actors, including by means of a
debate and vote in the plenary of the European Parliament. The Europe-wide
debate should be followed by concrete legislative proposals, including, if
deemed necessary, a proposal for Treaty change involving a new European
Convention (Article 48 TEU). 

9. WHY IS AN INTERGROUP ON EUROPEAN DEMOCRACY SO IMPORTANT

European democracy holds immense untapped potential, with numerous opportunities
to expand and deepen democratic engagement across the EU. From enhancing citizen
participation through digital platforms to fostering more transparent and
inclusive decision-making processes, there are myriad ways to invigorate the
democratic fabric of the Union. By leveraging innovative tools and mechanisms,
the EU can better reflect the voices and aspirations of its diverse populace.
However, democracy must be safeguarded against both internal and external
anti-democratic forces that seek to undermine these democratic values.
Strengthening the resilience of European democracy is crucial to ensuring its
stability and continuity, protecting it from threats that could erode the
fundamental principles upon which the EU is built.

While European Parliament intergroups have no formal competences, they allow for
‘coalitions of the willing’ to emerge around specific themes, connecting
interested and committed Members of the European Parliament with relevant
stakeholders. An intergroup on democracy could explore proposals for the
strengthening and safeguarding of European democracy in detail and in close
collaboration with relevant experts and civil society stakeholders and take the
lead in designing a roadmap for the democratic reform of the European Union.

Disclaimer:

Art.2 Treaty on European Union: The Union is founded on the values of respect
for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for
human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities. These
values are common to the Member States in a society in which pluralism,
non-discrimination, tolerance, justice, solidarity and equality between women
and men prevail. We reserve the right to cancel a candidate profile if we are
