A decade to bring forth a federal, regionalist, protective, and democratic Europe. Our compass: an adult Europe, able to act without renouncing its diversity.
Clarify political responsibilities, protect citizens, and give territories the space to live their identity, culture, and social choices.
Europe faces a risk of political insignificance in a world marked by the return of power politics, technological acceleration, and democratic fragility. Vision 2033 offers a demanding framework to move beyond institutional ambiguity and build a Europe capable of protecting itself without administering daily life from afar.
PromethEUs advocates a federal, regionalist Europe: territories are the democratic foundation, and the European level is the power of protection. This articulation makes responsibility legible and enables durable civic ownership.
These principles guide the entire roadmap. They connect pluralism, protection, and democratic responsibility for a Europe that endures.
Europe is not uniformity but an organized plurality. Political unity only matters if it protects the cultures, languages, and territories that shape collective life.
Everyday life must be decided as close as possible. Political responsibility is legible when citizens clearly identify who acts and at what level.
The federal Europe does not replace identities; it protects them. It concentrates the competences that local levels cannot assume alone.
The European economic order must be stable, clear, and impartial. Competition is an instrument of freedom, not an ideology.
A democratic Europe must articulate citizen participation, cultural pluralism, and territorial legitimacy.
Political durability requires citizen appropriation and institutions able to protect the freedoms they organize.
Vision 2033 rejects centralization. It defines two coherent levels, each responsible for the functions it can exercise closest to citizens' lives or at the level where strength is necessary.
The territorial level carries daily life, identities, and social responsibility.
The European level guarantees security, stability, and collective capacity to act.
European power is neither hegemonic nor imperial. It is defensive, deterrent, and protective. It aims to guarantee Europeans' autonomy of decision in an unstable world.
A credible, interoperable, and durable military capacity to protect citizens and deter threats.
Strengthen Europe's productive sovereignty so as not to submit to external powers' choices.
Ensure energy autonomy while accelerating the transition and price stability.
Guarantee technological autonomy, data control, and system security.
A clear European voice to weigh in power relations and protect our model.
Each phase pursues a clear political objective, priority workstreams, and concrete deliverables. The progression is deliberately demanding to give Europe the capacity to act and endure.
Move beyond political restraint by setting a shared diagnosis, a clear grammar, and an assumed trajectory.
Expected effect: A common language to debate and act, the basis of renewed legitimacy.
Anchor democratic legitimacy in regions and make subsidiarity concrete.
Expected effect: Citizens identify the right level of decision for their daily life.
Transform the vision into institutional architecture and realistic legal options.
Expected effect: A clear architecture defensible politically.
Build democratic legitimacy and a coherent European civic movement.
Expected effect: Organized mobilization oriented toward achievable proposals.
Embed the trajectory in the European agenda and translate principles into reforms.
Expected effect: Transformation becomes a credible political option.
Give Europe the means to act, deter, and protect.
Expected effect: Europe moves from dependence to capacity for action.
Stabilize the economic order to support freedom and innovation.
Expected effect: A stable economic framework that frees initiative.
Durably install European democracy and political responsibility.
Expected effect: An adult Europe able to act without renouncing its diversity.
PromethEUs is not an observer. It is a structuring actor that produces expertise, organizes mobilization, and turns objectives into concrete proposals.
PromethEUs develops demanding expertise, based on comparison, data, and a fine understanding of institutions.
European legitimacy is built through citizen ownership. PromethEUs organizes structured mobilization.
Vision 2033 aims for an adult, protective, and pluralist Europe. These markers express the success of the transition to a regionalist federation.
Each level of decision is legible, with political responsibility assumed.
Defense, security, and critical infrastructures guaranteed at the European scale.
Productive and innovation capacities equal to the challenges.
Citizen participation, territorial representation, and cultural pluralism reconciled.
A construction capable of lasting because it is protective and owned.
Vision 2033 is not a utopia. It is a European responsibility. PromethEUs invites citizens, territories, and public actors to turn this heading into political reality.
Europe will not be made all at once, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity.
Robert Schuman — 9 May 1950
