_________________________________________________
Europe doesn't say what it does; it doesn't do what it says.
It says what it doesn't do; and does what it doesn't say.
This Europe they're building for us is ab eyewash.
Pierre Bourdieu
_____________________________________________________________
The Europe they want us to approve is not ours. It is directed and
decided
in the high spheres, through dubious negociations and by authorities
thar
are not submitted to democratic rules. This european construction, and
the
way it is being imposed on us shows the victory of technocracy over
democracy. There is nevertheless a logic of the people to counter this
logic of the
states, of the economic and financial consortiums. It is a fragile and a
disorganized one.
Can we avoid those traps that have been set for us? Could we conceive an
Europe that, according to Jean Monnet, "doesn't unite states, but
unites men
between themselves?"
And as was written in the 1793 constitution, art 28 : "the people have a
right to reform, change or amend its constitution. One generation cannot
abide by the rules forced upon itself by the previous one.

their work will be clearly linked with the ratification of the present
constitutional treaty, the european policy and/or the role and situation
of individuals within the union.
Technically speaking, we accept all kinds of contributions, may they be
text, images, videos, music, as well as conceptual projects.
These works will be integrated into the global project byt the
Arsonore team.
