To: [email protected] Hi, remember that one very simple, but radical, idea: to democratise Europe? Well, the DiEM25 initiative, that embarks upon this project invites everybody, who is interested to join to an assembly, which will take place in Rome – 23 March 2016. Below please find more information about it. Here also a text that Berliner Gazette published in response to the inaugural assembly in Berlin, and which is now available in English on "openDemocracy": https://opendemocracy.net/can-europe-make-it/alexander-karschnia/we-are-buil... Kind regards, Krystian ---- DiEM25 Assembly: Transparency in Europe Now! Dear Member, As Europeans, we are too often forced to choose between two dreadful options: retreat into the cocoon of our nation-states, or surrender to the Brussels democracy-free zone. But we know an alternative exists, and you have joined DiEM25 to participate to its simple yet radical objective: to democratise Europe by 2025 at the latest. It is now time for our first pan-European Campaign TRANSPARENCY IN EUROPE NOW!, which will aim at demanding that all EU-level decision-making be exposed to European citizens’ gaze. We shall demand that meetings of the European Council, ECOFIN, Eurogroup, FTT, ESM etc. become accessible to Europeans. Additionally, we plan to expose the opacity of decision-making processes that have a capacity to ban democracy for a very, very long time (e.g. the current TTiP negotiations). We cordially invite you to the DiEM25 Assembly: Transparency in Europe Now! ( http://diem25.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=06ed765fa2e2171473ae3c592&i...) which will take place in Rome – 23 March 2016.
