SUMMARY:Launch of the ECR European Tour: “Europe’s Future. A New Hope\"
DESCRIPTION:The future of Europe hangs in the balance. The peoples of Europe want their national democracies to co-operate together in a community of sovereign states; they do not want their countries replaced by a country called Europe. We are facing a crucial moment in European history. The ultimatum presented by the federalists to those of us who believe in national democracy is unacceptable. They tell us it is ‘more Europe or no Europe’. But there is a middle way. It is time to restore the ideal of a Europe that respects the sovereignty of our national democracies. It is time to rebuild our community of European states – a Europe of mutual respect\, cooperation and solidarity. \nIt is time for a new hope for Europe. \nA Live broadcast from the Royal Castle in Warsaw\n  \nEuropean Union 2.0: A programme for reform \nFriday\, 11 December 2020\, 5 pm – 7.35 pm CET \nThe ECR Group in the European Parliament will imminently launch the European Tour on the Future of the European Union. The tour will take the form of a series of live broadcasts from 15 European capitals\, in which citizens of our Member States will be consulted. The Future of Europe Conference\, announced by the President of the Commission\, is a challenge for all European political movements that do not share the Federalist vision. The so-called pro-European federalists tell us it is ‘more Europe or no Europe’.We do not believe in extremes. There is a middle way. It is time to restore the ideal of a Europe that respects the sovereignty of our national democracies. It is time to rebuild our community of European states – a Europe of mutual respect\, cooperation and solidarity. It is time for a new hope for Europe. \nThis is why the ECR Group is launching the European Tour; to consider more effective and durable alternatives to European centralisation. We want to show that a new way can save Europe from the clutches of a federalist ideology; an ideology that risks rolling back all the progress made by sovereign\, national democracies working together over many years as equal partners for the common good. \nThe tour will debut with a live broadcast from Warsaw: “European Union 2.0. A programme for reform”. In 2021 the tour will stop in major cities across the continent to discuss Europe’s Future with politicians\, academics and civil society participants. Our events will be live streamed\, sharing the vision of a Europe that does less\, but does it better. \nMore information will be shared on our Social Media Channels and on our website: www.ecrthefuture.eu. \nJoin us to #ResetEU \nTwitter: @Reset_EU_ECR \nFacebook: @ECRgroupEU \nInstagram: @Reset_EU_ECR \nYouTube: ECRgroupEU \n \n \nSpeakers \n– ECR Co-Chairs Ryszard Legutko\, PiS\, Poland\, and Raffaele Fitto\, Fratelli d’Italia\, Italy \n– Jorge Buxadé Villalba\, Leader of the Vox delegation in the European Parliament\, Spain \n– Carlo Fidanza\, Leader of the Fratelli d’Italia delegation in the European Parliament\, Italy \n– Angel Dzhambazki\, Leader of the VMRO-Bulgarian National Movement delegation in the European Parliament\, Bulgaria \n– Professor Zdzisław Krasnodębski MEP\, PiS\,Poland \n– Professor Chantal Delsol\, philosopher\, writer\, Institut de France \n– Professor David Engels\, historian\, Free University of Brussels (ULB) \n– Professor Magdalena Bainczyk\, lawyer\, chief analyst at Institute for Western Affairs \n– Professor Tomasz Grzegorz Grosse\, lawyer\, University of Warsaw \nPresenter: Ms Dorota Łosiewicz \n  \n\n  \nProgramme \nIntroduction: Our Vision @ 5 pm CET \nMEPs Ryszard Legutko\, PiS\, (live from Warsaw) and Raffaele Fitto\, Fratelli d’Italia\, (live from Italy)\, Co-Chairmen of the ECR Group \nPanel 1: European Values @ 5.15 pm CET \nThere is a tendency to conflate the European Union with Europe – but should we really?

SUMMARY:General Kuklinski. The Lonely Mission
DESCRIPTION:We would like to cordially invite you to an online event “General Kuklinski. The Lonely Mission”\, first in our new series the Forgotten Leaders Who Built our Europe. \n​Join us live on the ECR YouTube Channel\, Facebook account of the ECR Group and ECR MEP Anna Fotyga\, Twitter accounts of the ECR Group and ECR MEP Anna Fotyga. \nIn its long and turbulent history\, Europe\, going back at least to ancient Greece and Rome\, has been built by communities\, nations\, and outstanding individuals – kings\, emperors\, statesmen\, warriors\, priests\, scientists\, artists\, poets\, inventors\, entrepreneurs. Some of them are widely known\, some of them – forgotten. Each nation has its own story to tell\, and each nation is proud of its heroes\, who significantly contributed to the nation’s identity and achievements. These stories unfold a fascinating and complex picture of national cultures\, sometimes converging and sometimes diverging\, full of dramatic developments. Sharing these stories about our national heroes among ourselves\, representatives of various European nations is not only a matter of education. It is also giving justice to those remarkable individuals to whom we owe so much. For Europe\, as we define it\, Europe of nations\, historical memory is indispensable. \n– Professor Ryszard Legutko\, Co-Chairman of the ECR Group in the European Parliament \nGeneral Ryszard Kuklinski was as one of the most successful people in the fight to end communism. As\, then Director of Central Intelligence\, William Casey wrote in a letter to the President Ronald Reagan: “In the last forty years\, no one has done more damage to communism than that Pole”. The main reason behind Kuklinski’s decision to cooperate with CIA was simple: “Everything that I did – I was thinking about Poland”. He began to question the legitimacy of communist rule and the USSR’s control over Poland after the massacre of Polish workers by communist security forces in December 1970. He decided to undertake his lonely mission during some of the darkest days of the Cold War. He knew in detail that the Soviet Union was the ultimate threat to world peace. He knew that the communist system was imposed on the Poles by the Soviet Union. Kuklinski was a person of exceptional courage. We are grateful to him for his mission. He stands on the right side of history.  \n – Anna Fotyga\, MEP
