Separate national armies
No autonomous projection capacity against a peer adversary. A unified command would change the entire equation.

Wasted each year
In duplicated defense procurement alone — equivalent to an entirely new federal military budget.

Federal European state
The only major world power without unified sovereignty. 440 million people deserve better than collective impotence.

Le décryptage fédéraliste de l'actualité européenne.
Our project
Three pillars to
build Europe.
01
Defense & Foreign Policy
Common Sovereignty
A federal Europe must speak with one voice on the world stage. A European army with unified command, a common foreign policy, and a permanent seat at every negotiating table. No more choosing between national interests and collective survival.

Defense budget worldwide
If the 27 national budgets were pooled under a single federal command.
02
Parliament & Executive
Federal Democracy

Citizens without a common government
Who cannot directly elect or hold accountable their European executive.
03
Fiscal Union & Investment
Economic Solidarity
