Political platform

The Ind/Dem group subscribes to the following program:

The Ind/Dem group is opposed to any European Constitution which would cause to accentuate the centralizing and nondemocratic structure of the European Union. The Ind/Dem group requires that the constitution project be submitted to the citizens within the framework of free and democratic referendums in the Member States.

2. Not with a Super European State . The Ind/Dem group is favorable to an opened, transparent, democratic co-operation and person in charge between the sovereign European States but it firmly rejects the creation of only one European super-State.

3. Respect of the traditional and cultural values. The people and the nations have the right to define and protect their own traditional, ethical and cultural values. The group Ind/Dem Group rejects xenophobia, the anti-semitism and any form of discrimination.

4. Democracy, freedom and co-operation between the Sovereign states. The Ind/Dem group, which subscribes to the principles of democracy, of freedom and co-operation between the States nations is hostile with the centralization and the bureaucratization of Europe.
