A new push for European democracy

The record-high turnout in the 2019 European elections shows the vibrancy of European democracy. Yet, Europeans need a stronger role in the decision-making process and a more active role in setting our priorities. A conference on the future of Europe will enable them to have their say in what’s important for the EU.

In order to protect our democracy from external interference, a joint approach is necessary to tackle issues such as disinformation and online hate messages.

The Commission will strengthen its partnership with the European Parliament by ensuring its involvement at all stages of international negotiations, as well as throughout the legislative process.
