R4: For the Eastern European issues in the centre of EU elections campaign
Resolution text
On 6-9 June 2024, the elections to the European Parliament will be held. As it
will have an enormous importance for Eastern Europe, CDN commits to take part in
the campaign by advocating for Eastern European issues to be a priority in the
EU elections campaign.
Since the issues crucial to Eastern Europe, both to EU and non-EU members, will
be among the most important points in the agenda for the new EU leadership,
including:
- Energy and climate policy, as the just transition in EU is crucial for the
whole continent, increasing investments and technology exports will help
transition in non-EU states and complete abandonment of fossil fuels is
crucial for the security of the region;
- Geopolitical issues, such as extending foreign policy and embracing
geopolitical Europe needed to increase the democracy in the whole of
Europe by greater opposition to authoritarian regimes, helping the
democratic movements and civil society in Eastern Europe and ensuring the
Ukrainian victory;
- EU enlargement, as it is a priority for the security, stability and
prosperity both on candidate states and pan-European level.
Since CDN as part of the pan-European Green movement realises the role of the
Green Group in the European Parliament, especially MEPs from Eastern Europe in
ensuring positive developments in the policies mentioned while recognising that
Eastern European issues are not being properly prioritised within the pan-
European green movement.
CDN considers the importance of European Elections and is willing to take part
in the campaign, advocating for Eastern Europe to be at the centre of it.
Therefore, CDN:
- Will use its communication channels to promote European Greens before the
elections, with a special focus on candidates coming from Eastern Europe;
- Will advocate for the issues crucial to Eastern Europe in the context of
EU elections, both within the pan-European movement (EGP, FYEG etc.) and
in external communication.
Reason
CDN, though it is network of Green organisations, does not have stance if and how to take part in the EU elections campaing. With this resolution, General Assembly gives the new Executive Committee and communication responsible person from the Office to take part in the campaign on our communication channels, at the same time recognising the need to advocate more for the Eastern Europe both within the movement and during the campaign.
