A second initiative I am eyeing with interest concerns measures to ban certain imports from Russia and Belarus. The idea is to stop funding the war in Ukraine and reduce dependencies. This is meant to target sectors like iron and steel, inorganic chemicals and potassium fertilisers, where alternative suppliers exist.

Whatever you might think of these issues, I find that European Citizens Initiatives are an under-utilized instrument of democracy in Europe.

By now, the system is quite well-oiled. The platform is integrated with European e-IDs (eIDAS standard), so signing is a very simple matter. For example, Italians can sign with SPID; Belgians with the MyGov.be application and ItsMe, etc. It's a good habit to check it every once in a while and support the initiatives you agree with. Even launching your own initiative looks relatively easy, though I have not done it myself.
#EU democracy is far from perfect, but this is a nice tool.

The #EU has a petition system called "European Citizens Initiative". People can initiate petitions and collect signatures online via an EU official platform. Petitions that collect over one million signatures in a year, with at least seven member states reaching a minimum number of signatures, are tabled for discussion in Parliament. I like to check the platform every two months or so to support the petitions I agree with.

‚Mindestens 7.667 Menschen sind 2025 laut den UN auf Migrationsrouten weltweit gestorben oder gelten als vermisst – weil sichere Fluchtwege fehlen. Statt Schutz zu schaffen, treibt die Abschottungspolitik verzweifelte Geflüchtete in die Hände von Schleppern….‘

KEIN LAND FÜR NIEMAND – ABSCHOTTUNG EINES EINWANDERUNGSLANDES
Der Film begibt sich auf die Suche nach den Ursachen des politischen Rechtsruck und nimmt die Zuschauer*innen mit auf eine aufrüttelnde Reise. Jede*r sollte diesen Film gesehen haben!
‚Deutschland steht an einem historischen Wendepunkt: Erstmals seit 1945 wird im Jahr 2025 ein migrationspolitischer Entschließungsantrag im Bundestag angenommen – mit Unterstützung der AfD, die vom Verfassungsschutz wegen rechtsextremer Bestrebungen beobachtet wird. Die Erklärung zur Begrenzung der Zuwanderung sieht unter anderem eine vollständige Schließung der deutschen Grenzen vor. Ein Paradigmenwechsel kündigt sich an: weg vom Schutz von Geflüchteten, hin zu Abschottung und Abschreckung.
Die Dokumentation beginnt an den europäischen Außengrenzen, wo eine andauernde humanitäre Katastrophe auf staatliche Ignoranz trifft, aber auch auf ziviles Engagement. Sie begleitet einen Rettungseinsatz auf dem Mittelmeer, dokumentiert die katastrophale Lage aus der Luft und erzählt die Geschichten von Überlebenden, die trotz Gewalt und tödlicher Risiken den Weg nach Deutschland gefunden haben….‘

Sorry to interrupt!
