Help build EU’s future
La Grande Marche pour l’Europe campaign
President Macron’s LREM party received more than the hoped-for 100,000 responses giving views on the EU in its La Grande Marche pour l’Europe door-to-door campaign.
Meanwhile, there are new ways for people interested in the EU’s future to get involved.
Groups seen flying EU flags and balloons may be part of a (non-political) Pulse of Europe monthly event, as part of a bid to get people together in support of the EU project, with the ethos that the EU needs reform but is vital (pulseofeurope.eu).
Similarly, in line with President Macron’s call for debate on the EU this year, look for ‘Consultation citoyenne’ events (quelleestvotreeurope.fr) which pass views to the government.
