More than 60 mayors & regional leaders call for a Sovereign, Decentralised, Federal Europe after our special Europe Day summit, hosted by our President François Decoster, with a special rendition of Ode to Joy from Bratislava, courtesy of its Mayor Matúš Vallo, issuing a declaration with 9 points for 9 May.
9 May is Europe Day, and this year it marks the 70th Anniversary of the Schuman Declaration. On this day, it is our collective responsibility to revitalize the European dream and re-invigorate European integration. But this 9th of May is a hard one for us all, as Europe and its citizens are mourning.
Citizens have mixed feelings about the handling of COVID-19 by public authorities, especially the EU institutions, and this unfortunate situation has undermined the trust of citizens in our Union, especially as many people are still struggling with the pandemic.
