12 Guiding Stars for a New Europe
Select a star to explore each guiding principle.
1 A European Federation
Europe must become a sovereign, democratic federation able to act where common power is necessary while respecting subsidiarity everywhere else. A clear constitution should make European power democratic, understandable, and accountable.
2 United Defence and Foreign Policy
Europe needs a single foreign policy and a genuine defence capability under democratic federal control. Integrated command, procurement, intelligence, industry, and deterrence would let Europe defend itself and act strategically.
3 Europe in the World
A united Europe should engage the world from a position of strength, supporting Ukraine and democratic partners while reforming global institutions so collective action can work in a multipolar century.
4 Borders, Migration, and Justice
Europe needs a federal border, migration, and justice system that restores order and trust: secure external borders, firm returns, legal migration calibrated to integration, and law enforcement that works across borders.
5 Energy Sovereignty
Energy sovereignty means affordable, secure, clean domestic energy. Europe should accelerate renewables, nuclear, geothermal, electrification, storage, and connected grids while managing fossil-fuel realities without strategic dependence.
6 The Digital Age
Europe must control the digital infrastructure and AI systems that shape its economy, security, democracy, and public discourse. Digital sovereignty requires European systems, European infrastructure, privacy, and democratic oversight.
7 Fiscal Sovereignty
A European federation needs fiscal capacity equal to its responsibilities. Federal revenue should replace national contributions in transferred domains, curb harmful tax fragmentation, and support simpler, fairer taxation.
8 Prosperity Through Scale
Europe must grow and compete at continental scale by completing the single market, connecting infrastructure, funding European firms to maturity, and using strategic procurement where sovereignty and security are at stake.
9 A Human-Centered Economy
The economy should serve people, and Europe should measure whether it does. Housing, health, education, work-life balance, family policy, demographic fairness, and life satisfaction deserve the same seriousness as GDP.
10 Climate and Sustainability
Europe must treat climate policy as both ecological necessity and industrial opportunity. It should cut emissions without offshoring them, protect producers through carbon borders, restore ecosystems, and support sustainable agriculture.
11 Ambition and Discovery
Europe should embrace science, technology, discovery, and bold projects as instruments of human flourishing. Per Europam ad astra should become a literal ambition for a sovereign, spacefaring Europe.
12 European Identity
European identity should strengthen, not replace, national and regional identities. Shared history, education, media, culture, mobility, and civic belonging can give Europeans a genuine sense of common destiny.
