E57: A manifesto to overthrow Europe’s oligarchy
Channel: DiEM25
Date: 2022-05-09

May 9 is Europe Day. But there’s little reason to celebrate. War rages on our outskirts, while our governments evade democracy to provide weapons for it. The far-right is making gains. The cost of living is rising. Ecological disaster is around the corner.

Our response? To reboot our movement. Our new manifesto, unveiled today, offers a simple but radical message: the EU will only be democratised once its oligarchy is overthrown. 

Today is a day to remember what Europe isn’t. And to remind ourselves of what it could be.
